Festive reopening
Consecration of the renovated church on
13 December 2020 by Cardinal Marx
Project description
Church PA
After a renovation period of more than 2 years, the parish church of St. Oswald in Traunstein (Upper Bavaria) was solemnly reopened on 13 December 2020 with a pontifical service with altar consecration by Archbishop Reinhard Cardinal Marx.
The Traunstein Church, whose beginnings date back to the 13th century, is one of the most important churches in the south-east of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising.
The acoustics and sound reinforcement concept was implemented in 2020 by the Phoenix Professional Audio team. During the extensive refurbishment, the entire sound system of the church was renewed and modernized in terms of sound technology through the use of digital sound reinforcement technology.
The aim was to achieve high speech intelligibility in all seats and excellent music reproduction with a powerful and flexible sound reinforcement system despite the long reverberation in the church.
The core products installed are digital sound columns integrated in the nave DIGIVOICE-350.16DSP2 with DSP and Beam Steering Technology (electronic controllability of the vertical beam angle of the loudspeaker) and the digital automatic mixing amplifier PV-DSP-4ACD.9.4.2X, which was specially developed for sound transmission in acoustically difficult rooms with complex acoustics and long reverberation times, such as churches. Both ensure that sermons and readings are particularly easy to understand and an excellent music performance during the service (choral singing, concerts, etc.) is achieved.
In addition, slim but effective column speakers from the K4 series with a special powder coating were installed.
Part of the new sound system are also the new hearing loop amplifier ILA-1000 and a MIPRO wireless microphone system with omnidirectional antennas for flexible use and complete freedom of movement during church services and numerous other high-quality audio components from Phoenix PA.
The elegant microphone stand system MEGZ-5GS was installed on the ambo and priest’s seat. It comes with a ground socket, which almost completely merges with the magnificent church interior design due to its extraordinarily filigree appearance.
The team from Phoenix Professional Audio also took over the assembly/installation as well as the acoustic measurement and system level adjustment on site.
