Joodasan Church, South Korea


The Opportunity

Built in 2014, the chapel at Hwaseong-si in Gyeonggi-do province is the third facility constructed by Joodasan Church. With around 2,200 seats, including two-story balcony sections, the 1,500-square-meter worship space regularly hosts a wide variety of spiritual events, in addition to musical performances and youth Sunday school. In order to accommodate the large space and growing community, the church needed a high-quality and easy-to-use sound reinforcement system capable of projecting consistently clear audio throughout the worship space.

The Solution

TechDataPS partnered with Yeong Sound to design and install a complete HARMAN Professional audio system featuring JBL Professional, Crown Audio and Soundcraft.

TechDataPS selected JBL VTX A8 loudspeakers and, with the help of top construction and systems engineers, identified the exact quantity and angles of speakers needed to maximize the sound system’s efficiency and ensure an error-free installation. The VTX A8 combines two 8-inch woofers, four 3.5-inch midrange drivers and two 2-inch high-frequency drivers in a single low-profile cabinet, providing clear, high-output sound in a compact and easy-to-install format. To complete the system, TechDataPS chose JBL VTX B18 series subwoofers for extra low-frequency impact and lightweight VRX932LA-1 line array speakers for extra coverage. JBL VTX M20 and VRX 915M stage monitors provide clear sound on stage for performers and speakers.

To power the system, TechDataPS provided Joodasan Church with Crown I-Tech 4X3500HD and Crown CDi 2|1200 amplifiers, which provide crystal-clear signal with ample headroom to the loudspeaker arrays. Finally, TechDataPS equipped the church with a Soundcraft Vi7000 digital mixing console. With 128 inputs, powerful onboard DSP and a hands-on Vistonics touch interface with color-coded FaderGlow technology, the Vi7000 fulfills all of Joodasan’s needs and is easy for staff to operate.

The Impact

Representatives from Joodasan Church stated that their ultimate goal was to elevate and modernize their existing sound setup. TechDataPS achieved a system that delivers superior audio quality and clarity for a range of applications, meets all of Joodasan’s needs and is easy for staff to operate.
