Park Plaza Christian Church

Joplin, Missouri

This independent congregation was gifted a 1989 Baldwin Model 912 digital instrument with a drawknob console. The organ only had small internal stereo speakers for a practice or living room. These components were inadequate for the 250 seat sanctuary. The organ console sets on the platform, beside the grand piano.

Organ Expressions has provided a new speaker system to support congregational singing. New customized Sonority 12 speakers were assembled for all but the lowest frequencies. These two way speakers were customized to fit in the upper front corners of the platform and maximize coupling to the room. A custom oak veneer and finish was added for a matching furniture appearance. A pair of used sub woofers were provided to the church and OE utilized them with a customized active crossover network to voice the response for pedal work. The sub woofers are hidden in plain sight.

The OE enhancements includes:

two - Organ Expressions customized Accent speakers
two - sub woofers provided by one of the organists
power amplifiers from Crown Audio International
assembling and testing the amplifier and processing rack in our workshop.
Installing speaker wiring that meets the national electrical code
Interconnecting the various electronics
Optimizing the speaker response to the room
