Acoustics
that take the room out of the mix.
Broadband acoustic treatment, renewed front-fill coverage, processing, and PA tuning designed as one correction for a reflective sanctuary.

Acoustic treatment
The PA made sound. The room kept sending it back.
Life Co Church’s dark, high-volume sanctuary needed more than an equalization adjustment. Reflections from large wall surfaces blurred what the system was trying to deliver. Qohr addressed the room first, then returned to loudspeaker coverage, processing, and final tuning.
Not one acoustic panel. One field of absorption.
Three panel sizes let the treatment follow the architecture while spreading broadband absorption across the surfaces that mattered.
75total panels
- 45
- 48 × 48 × 2 in.
- 18
- 24 × 48 × 2 in.
- 12
- 24 × 24 × 2 in.
Large formats control broad surfaces. Narrow and square formats carry the pattern through tighter conditions without leaving untreated gaps.
The correction lives across the whole room.
Room treatment changed the acoustic conditions. Connection work and final PA adjustments carried that correction through the signal path, then the team returned to the seats to review the room as one system.
Finish the connection.
Read the whole room.
After treatment
Change the reflection. Then change the response.
The acoustic work changed the conditions around the PA. Qohr realigned and retuned the system, introduced dedicated EAW front fills for the nearest seats, and centered processing and control on Q-SYS.
- Processing
- Q-SYS Core 24f
- Network audio
- Dante 64 × 64
- Front fills
- Five EAW 2-way loudspeakers
- Control
- 10.1-inch Q-SYS touchscreen
Treat the surface. Rebuild the response.
The project joined architectural treatment and electroacoustic correction instead of expecting either one to compensate for the other.
Broadband treatment
Seventy-five 2-inch Primacoustic panels across three sizes create a distributed absorption field around the sanctuary.
PA realignment
The existing PA was adjusted and retuned after the room modifications so system voicing and coverage matched the treated space.
Front-fill coverage
Five compact EAW two-way loudspeakers extend intelligibility to the seats closest to the stage without asking the mains to do the wrong job.
Q-SYS control
A Q-SYS Core 24f, Dante connectivity, and a 10.1-inch touchscreen provide centralized processing and an approachable control surface.
Let the system speak once. Let the room listen.
Life Co Church now has a sanctuary where the room, loudspeakers, processing, and control work toward the same result: clearer direct sound, more consistent coverage, and less energy returning from the architecture.
