Queen's
Road Baptist Church, UK B+H
Installations specified three
TQ-440SP
three-way loudspeaker enclosures as the central focus of the
sound rreinforcement installation carried out at Wimbledon's
Queen's Road Baptist Church. As one of the leading churches
of the charismatic movement, Queen's Road Baptist had found
that their existing system, after ten years of use, had
become inadequate for the range of events being held at the
church. Attracting a very young and vibrant congregation,
whilst also featuring a worship band comprised of up to
eight pieces, there was an increasing need for a system with
more power to create the punchy sound environment that the
church felt it was missing. John
Ellis of B+H specified the system that features the three
TQ-440SPs
in a central cluster. He adds, "We wanted to use a state of
the art self-powered system, the beauty being that there are
no amp racks or other external equipment, so it's perfect
for minimising the space requirement and importantly in a
church situation, minimises the "fiddle" factor. All the
signal processing such as equalisation, compression,
crossover, time alignment is done within the box, no sticky
fingers can change that! The The throw and dispersion of the
TQ-440SP
is incredibly good, reaching every part of the church with
clear, coherent and powerful sound and without the need of
delays or fills." A sub-bass cabinet on a separate send from
the desk lifts the bottom end when required, but reports
back from the church's sound team say that due to the full
range capabilities of the Turbosound cabinets, only very
little bass needs to be added. The
church's committee approached B+H to install a complete new
sound reinforcement system following a training day provided
by the company for the sound operators at Queen's Road
Baptist. Ellis commented, "The QLight series are easy to
install, easy to fly, and punchy but smooth enough to be
used for articulate speech. The 6.5" headroom is extremely
good for conveying the voice while also reproducing the band
well. The TQ-440SP is a good full-range box, quick to
install with no inconvenient cable runs."
