Project Vision
After completing a full sanctuary renovation, Troy Tabernacle in the Dayton region wanted a church audiovisual system that complemented their newly renovated space—not competed with it. In an intimate worship environment, every design decision mattered. The church needed exceptional sound quality and reliable livestreaming while keeping speakers, microphones, and equipment as unobtrusive as possible.
Challenges we had to Solve
Feedback & Streaming
The choir needed to be heard clearly throughout the sanctuary without feedback, while microphones also had to capture the congregation clearly for the church's livestream audio.
Improve Coverage, Reduce Footprint
The previous sound system took up valuable space on stage and dropped off in coverage near the rear of the room. The challenge was to deliver powerful, even coverage with equipment that blended seamlessly into the space.
Prioritizing Aesthetics
Because of the room's intimate dimensions, keeping the audiovisual equipment tidy and discrete was a must. Great attention to detail was given to choosing equipment that met the need while being inconspicuous.
How it came together
Ovation approached every design decision with two priorities: exceptional sound and minimal visual impact. The result was a custom church AV system that blended seamlessly into the renovated sanctuary. To eliminate distracting boom microphones, the choir was outfitted with discreet ceiling-mounted microphones paired with advanced processing that allowed voices to be amplified clearly without feedback. The result is a natural, unobtrusive solution that keeps the focus on worship.
The sound system was also redesigned to reduce its visual impact. A single large subwoofer was replaced with two smaller units that provide comparable performance while blending more naturally into the space.
Stage monitors were right-sized for the sanctuary, the equipment rack was rebuilt with a clean, finished appearance, and church livestream equipment was carefully selected and positioned to remain as inconspicuous as possible. Throughout the project, every component was chosen not only for how it performed, but for how well it disappeared into the environment.
Big sound with a small footprint
Today, the technology enhances worship without distracting from it. The choir can be heard clearly, congregational singing is captured naturally for livestreams, and the sanctuary delivers consistent, high-quality sound while maintaining the clean aesthetic of the renovation.
Speakers, microphones, cameras, and equipment blend into the room instead of dominating it, allowing visitors to focus on the message—not the technology behind it. The result is a worship space that looks as beautiful as it sounds.
