 ProSoundWeb | HISTORIC ANGELUS TEMPLE RETROFITS WITH L-ACOUSTICS
LOS ANGELES, California - March 2003 -- The 80-year-old, dome-shaped Angelus Temple in Echo Park, California recently wrapped up a $7 million renovation project, part of which included the installation of a full L-ACOUSTICS loudspeaker system.
The arena-quality rig was specified, in large part, to maximize the impact of Dream House, the temple’s primary praise team, which freely combines elements of rock, RandB, electronica, and even hip-hop into an amped-up style all its own.
As a way of satisfying the goal of creating a high direct-to-reverberant ratio of sound, left/right line-source arrays were deployed using components supplied by L-ACOUSTICS US in the form of 28 of the manufacturer’s dV-DOSC small-format array elements, 10 dV-SUB enclosures, and eight SB218 subwoofer cabinets.
