The speakers Biamp Desono DP6 provide optimal acoustics and coverage in this large church in the Italian city of Ferrara, without its aesthetics and peaceful atmosphere being affected.

Work of the architect Benedetta Tagliabue, from the study Miralles Tagliabue E.M.B.T, The design of the audio solution for this church has been developed by the Italian specialist Audio Solutions snc , in collaboration with Marco Cappellotto, of Prase Media Technologies.

One of the challenges of this audio installation is that the clean walls could not be filled with technological components, “since the entire balance of the interior would have been affected, so we designed a sprinkler sound system”, explains Maurizio Moretti, by Audio Solutions.

Thanks to the collaboration with the architecture studio, “The solution is based on an elegant alternation of speakers and lamps - emphasizes this expert- which not only guarantees perfect audio coverage for the public, but it enhances the aesthetics”.

The particular conical shape of the hanging speakers Biamp Desono matches the design of the wooden slat chandeliers, designed by the E.M.B.T studio. what, once turned on, They reflect on the light-colored stone and cement floor and allow light to filter throughout the environment to create a harmonious effect..

The entire lobby is crossed by an imposing cross, made with old recovered beams and supported by a hidden internal metal structure. “It is an architectural and symbolic sign that has always been present in the design and was made at the end of the work.. The technological solution adopted allowed us to integrate the speakers, essential for correct acoustics in the presbytery, with a low visual impact”, points out the architect María Elena Antonucci.

The Santiago Apóstol Church sound system also includes an external input and output arrangement for the mobile broadcast system, which can be adjusted independently.
