Delivering a clear and concise sermon with QFlex
Just as All Saints Chapel is the heart of spiritual life at this prestigious
Dallas area school, the Chapel’s dual manual, twenty seven-stop organ
– designed specifically for the school by organ-master, Fritz Noack – is
the heart of the chapel. Intentionally designed to have a long, smooth
reverberation time, the Chapel favours sonic sources like their
magnificent organ and ensemble vocals, but when it comes to speech,
small musical ensembles or program music, its stark Greek design and
vertical concrete walls become a liability. Happily for the school,
Tannoy’s QFlex line of digitally steerable, multi-channel, array speakers
are also purpose built; not only to provide a total audio solution for
extremely difficult acoustic environments, but to do so with a degree of
elegance that makes them an ideal solution for The Episcopal School of
Dallas’ specific needs.
Since the Tannoy QFlex rig went in this past Spring, explains Matthew
Noack, Director of Real Estate at the school, a torrent of complaints
fielded by the School’s Founder, Father Swan, have become a
steady stream of compliments. “It’s a huge change, he says.
“Before, people could not understand the sermon if they were in
the back of the chapel. This has brought back the spoken word as
a very clear component to our worship.”

The Pavilion, one of Glasgow’s oldest and best loved variety theatre
venues, has recently overhauled its FOH system with a pair of Tannoy
VQ 100 full-range loudspeakers. The new VQ 100s add a new level of
clarity, definition and presence to the performances within the historic
1449-seat auditorium and have gone down well with both cast and
audiences since they were installed during the summer season.
A single VQ 100 can produce more power and clarity over its 100 degree
beamwidth area than many arrayed solutions using multiple cabinets,
thanks to Tannoy’s latest Dual Concentric driver technology, patented Point
Source Waveguide and innovative horn design that are the hallmarks of VQ
Series. The class-leading performance characteristics meant that two
full-range enclosures were all that was required, minimising the aesthetic
impact not to mention the installation cost. General Manager,Iain Gordon,
has spent long enough in the industry to have a keen sense of venue
acoustics and knows a good system when he hears it. Clearly impressed
with the new install he commented, Tannoy’s VQ Series sounds better than
anything I’ve heard in over 30 years of working in the theatre business. The
new system really gives our performers a whole new level of presence in
our shows and projects truly natural sound across the whole audience.”
