// THREE CHURCHES · AUDIO + VIDEO + PROJECTION

Modern AV inside historic sanctuaries.

Dual-projector setups, synchronized flat-panel displays, sanctuary sound — installed across three Tri-State congregations. Vaulted ceilings, stained glass, and 19th-century millwork get to stay exactly where they are. The AV goes in around the architecture, not through it.

// CASE STUDY

Project Overview

The Problem

Worship spaces needed visible video and reliable sanctuary audio without disturbing historic architecture.

The Plan

Design projection, displays, sound, and cabling around each sanctuary instead of forcing the architecture to fit the equipment.

The Install

Projectors, displays, sound equipment, and cable routes were adapted to the room geometry, sight lines, ceilings, chases, and existing finishes.

The Result

Modern AV was added while vaulted ceilings, stained glass, exposed wood, and original millwork remained the visual focus.

System Notes

System notes visible on this page are limited to verified scope already published: projectors, screens, synchronized displays, sanctuary speakers, mixing board, microphone wiring, and careful cable routing.

Services Used

Commercial audio installation, church audio video installation, display systems, projection, structured cabling.

Location

Three Tri-State worship spaces.

// THE BRIEF

Congregations want bigger screens. Sanctuaries don’t want to be redecorated.

Each of these worship spaces had the same fundamental ask — visible-from-the-back-pew video for hymn lyrics, sermon notes, and announcements, plus reliable sanctuary audio. Each space also had non-negotiable architecture: vaulted plaster ceilings, exposed wood beams, stained glass, original millwork that nobody wants to disturb.

We design each install around the room rather than around the gear catalog. Dual ceiling-mounted projectors at one church. Wall-mounted flat panels with synchronized content at another. A single mixing board where it makes sense. Different geometry every time, same KISS spec philosophy: install it well, leave it alone.

// SCOPE
  • Projection — Ceiling-mount projectors + screens sized to the throw
  • Displays — Wall-mounted flat panels with synchronized content where the geometry calls for it
  • Sound — Sanctuary speakers, mixing board, microphone wiring
  • Cabling — Routed through ceilings and millwork without disturbing finishes
WALL-MOUNTED PANELS, SYNCHRONIZED CONTENT · CEILING-MOUNTED PROJECTOR + ALTAR
// THE APPROACH

Don’t make the architecture work around the AV.

The screens in the photo above go on the side walls because the side walls are where they make sense for that sanctuary — you don’t block the altar and you don’t fight the central stained glass. Cabling runs through existing chases, through the choir loft, behind the existing soffits. Wall speakers go where the sight lines and the architecture both agree.

Same approach across all three congregations. Different rooms, different answers, same install standard.
