When Rocky Mountain Calvary (RMC) first approached us about doing an audio system upgrade, one of the main areas of concern and they really wanted to focus on was improving coverage in their main worship space and adding intelligibility. We reached out to Danley Sound Labs to have them design a system that would provide just what the church asked for. They did a great job of understanding what the church was after and designing a system to fit that! 

The main portion of the sound system was… 1 speaker! Yes, when we told RMC they responded with the same question I’m sure you are asking. “How could 1 speaker cover an almost 2000 seat auditorium?” 

Let's take a minute to talk about a great little speaker option. We installed this in a small broadcast room for a church to give them quick, quality sound for their workspace!

The PreSonus Eris E44 studio monitors deliver an expanded, highly accurate frequency response and the widest stereo field available in its class. It has dual 4.5-inch, woven composite LF/midrange drivers, 1.25-inch, silk-dome HF driver that ensures smooth high-frequency performance that is never fatiguing to the ears. And for inputs, you can choose between balanced XLR, balanced ¼-inch TRS, and unbalanced RCA inputs for seamless integration into any environment. One of our favorite features about these speakers is the ability to orient them horizontally or vertically, allowing for useability in a variety of workspaces!

Do you need some sound in one of your workspaces? We have a variety of options to make sure you have the best tools for your needs!

Many churches get to a point when growth, new goals, new building, or just equipment age forces them to think about upgrading. Everything might still be working reasonably well, but it’s harder to accommodate new asks or larger worship teams.  Or perhaps the equipment is just old enough that parts are no longer available and your confidence in it lasting through a weekend just isn’t there anymore.  If this is the case, where do you even start to make a plan?  This is really where Lambda comes in.  Rocky Mountain Calvary in Colorado Springs hit a point where their equipment was old, goals were changing, and budget was available to make some changes, so they reached out to us looking for an idea of what steps to take next.  

When we met up with the RMC tech team, they expressed first of all wanting to upgrade the audio system.  The tech team very much wanted a new soundboard and waves audio plugins. When we saw their building though, we noticed speaker system was more than 10 years old and had lost much of the fidelity from when they were installed. They also just didn’t fit the space as well as new technology could.  So, we suggested upgrading the speakers first and then replacing the soundboard, integrating waves audio effects, and maybe even some new mics. This would ensure they would have good audio from the absolute start to the end.  We met up with the team from RMC several times to build request lists, talk about dreams and goals, and even moving through older equipment talking about what new equipment is capable of.  In the end, they decided on upgrading four major areas: Camera lenses and a video switcher, speakers, soundboard, and house lighting.    We also discussed future steps such as led walls and staging pieces to add dynamic.

We love our Quasar lights! Quasar produces a neat LED light bar that is lightweight, versatile, and great for a variety of applications. Their Linear Lamps offer a low profile yet broad lighting source that is capable of providing everything from traditional three-point subject lighting to architectural accents and general area lighting. So, whether you are planning to light actors or environments, Quasar has it covered! 

With color, fade, and dimmable options, Quasar is a great choice for creating your next lighting project or stage design! If you are interested in a demo, or have any questions about Quasar, you can email [email protected] anytime!

For one of our recent corporate studio installs, we used the Dev Dolly from Gide Gear. It's a modular system that runs on 1-inch or 2-inch metal rails. One of the benefits of this is that you can easily swap rails to a shorter setup if you are working in a limited space or swap out to a much longer setup if required. Its sled/carriage rolls on a four quad wheel configuration providing silky-smooth, consistent movement. The stands used were Matthews rolling low boys, enabling the dolly to be easily moved and adjusted. 

If you're looking for that little extra touch to elevate your production, a slider or dolly can knock that goal out of the park.
