A 1,000 - seat Catholic church in Springfield, Massachussetts, has found an acoustical and architectural solution in Renkus-Heinz Iconyx. A pair of digitally steerable, architecturaly color - matched IC24 arrays is discretely located either side of the central arch.

The 125 - year old Sacred Heart Church, in Springfield, Massachusetts, has a visually breathtaking, yet intensely acoustically reverberant, sanctuary. Richard G. O'Connell of AV DesignBuild asked to resolve a fundamental problem: parishioners were unable to hear eulogies and sermons, and there was occasional radio breakthrough.

"We replaced the ten old speakers with two IC24s and replaced the control system. Now everyone can hear every word."
