With houses of worship, we understand that audio visual and digital organ systems need to be thoroughly researched in design and fully supported through to end user training. This is due to specific needs and unique spaces, and importantly because the congregation often fund projects personally. Therefore, we strongly recommend having our expert advice from initial consultation to solution options, installation and systems integration.
Our comprehensive analysis and design work includes SPL mapping or full 3D acoustic rendering. In the design phase, blending technology with aesthetics can be crucial to ensure that technology does not impact on the beauty and calm of sacred spaces. |

Clarity praised for alter-ations at Dunedin Anglican Cathedral.
St Paul’s has played a key role in Dunedin’s CBD Octagon area and for the City’s people, for over 100 years. Dean, Dr Toni Curtis, wanted to bring the Cathedral into the modern age audio wise and future proof for the next fifty years, whilst caring for the building’s heritage/masonry. Toni looked to England’s York Minister’s new d&b system as being the dream result. |

|
Clarity and NAS Solutions ran with these needs and dreams and undertook extensive modelling with the building, to arrive at a solution to provide optimum performance, whilst caring for the specific acoustics and aesthetics. The high-end York Minster d&b system was re-designed to suit St Paul’s and every meter of visible cable and speaker were painted to perfectly colour match and blend into the masonry. The modelling paid off as all involved thought the coverage was fantastic and the aesthetics were left uncompromised.

One year later and more changes were afoot with a new lighting system with simple controls and the icing on the cake, a Makin custom hybrid organ.
From speakers to microphones, lighting to a new organ, the cathedral has retained its traditional beauty, whilst embracing modern technologies, to the benefit of the City's people today and tomorrow. |

A legendary Oamaru landmark rejuvenated.
This iconic Roman Renaissance Francis Petre building, built out of the legendary Oamaru stone, was equipped with a latest d&b audiotechnik sound system and Epson projection, in 2021. Working with NAS Solutions, Mark Patterson led this ambitious project which needed to cater for pulpit sermons, wireless microphones for musicians and choir, projection for congregation needs, capturing it all on live stream and for equipment to blend in with 100-year-old stonework. Incredible clarity of sound in speech presenting and music play, along with meters of cabling, projectors, and speakers becoming almost invisible, are the key outcomes. |
