21st Century Sound in an Early 20th Century Structure
St. Mary's Cathedral
Peoria, IL
St.
Mary’s Cathedral has been a Peoria landmark and religious epicenter
for over a century. The cathedral is the central church for the Diocese
of Peoria. Mother Theresa visited the Cathedral for a special mass in
her honor in December 1995.
The Cathedral is an extremely challenging acoustical
space, with high ceilings, various hard surfaces, and intricate architectural
properties that make intelligible sound reinforcement difficult to integrate.
Thompson Electronics Company (TEC) rose to the challenge by designing
a system that created great sound quality that ensured the spoken word
was heard and understood throughout the sanctuary.
Design Challenges
- Design a technologically advanced audio system to combat the acoustical problems
of the environment while requiring virtually no human interaction to operate.
- High reverberation time
- Multiple high reflective surfaces
- Minimal options for loudspeaker mounting locations without disturbing the brilliant
architecture
- Utilize a robust processing platform to make
the entire system dependable.

pipe organ isn't the only impressive sound heard in the Cathedral these
days. Now, the new sound system is also impressive. The
sermon is heard clearly &
intelligibly throughout the santuary.
"Many parishioners have commented
and are amazed by the new level
of audio clarity in the Cathedral."

New PA/Music Reinforcement System for Gymnasium
“I
wanted you to know how much we appreciated the new sound system
at IVCHS. I've received
nothing but compliments from parents, coaches, and students. I
know as we move forward other uses of the gym and the sound system
will
show even more the quality of your design and equipment. Marvin
and company, the installers, all did an outstanding job and were
more than patient and accommodating, since we had other gym work
and athletic camps going on at the same time."
Dr. David Kinney
IVC School Superintendent
