Kai Ulrich, FOH engineer for Garrett, was first attracted to Leo's headroom, which would allow him to eliminate delay loudspeakers for many shows.

"Everything sounds so effortless with LEO," says Ulrich. "You can really feel the headroom, even though the David Garrett show is not very loud. The first time I used the system I was actually completely overwhelmed by the sound, and I am not at all 'brand religious'."

David Garrett's touring Leo system featured up to 12 Leo-M line array loudspeakers per

St. Joseph's original sound system used ceiling loudspeakers to cover the sanctuary and had been augmented with loudspeakers in the organ chamber. However, coverage was uneven in many locations and very poor in the back of the church.

Through a referral from another church, St. Joseph's contacted Mike Flaherty of Nelson White Systems in Baltimore. Flaherty recommended a system based on Community's Entasys column line arrays. He had used Entasys in other church sound systems and knew they would provide smooth coverage throughout the sanctuary and p

Built in 1997 and run by the local municipality, the 580-seat venue hosts mainly live music and theatre, but also presentations and conferences. After 17 years of near-constant use the audio system needed a significant upgrade because cables, connectors and other components required replacing, plus the PA was no longer sufficient to meet the demands of contemporary shows.

Supplied by French audio specialists Lagoona, the new PA system comprises flown arrays of Nexo Geo S12 and S1230 loudspeakers, plus ground-stacked RS18 subs and PS10 R2 front-fills. The
