 Project:   This was a new facility converting a former Walmart into a church house with media projects in four different rooms.  Auditorium: sound reinforcement,  video projection, and acoustics for the new 850 seat auditorium that will expand to 1350 seats in the future. It can also expand with a 400 seat balcony when the need arises.  Chapel: sound reinforcement for this 200 seat room.   Fellowship Hall:  sound reinforcement for this 600 seat room.  Teen Center:  portable sound system.   The congregation decided not to complete any of the acoustic treatment plans.  These systems were built by Jordan Audio at the request of the leaders in the congregation.  

The auditorium project also included interfacing the congregation's existing Allen organ with the new sound system.  All the organist's are very happy.  We were told it is the first time in 23 years they have been able to hear themselves play without overpowering the congregation.  

in 2010, the house and stage lighting systems were upgraded to include 30 2400 watt dimmers and a DMX control system.

Project:  This well established congregation needed to update a system that had been neglected for a number of years.  The 300 seat auditorium, built in the 20's presented several challenges.  Jordan Audio engineered and designed the system and an acoustic treatment plan and guided volunteers in the congregation with the installation. 

In the spring Jordan Audio assisted the congregation with the upgrade of the system in their fellowship hall/gymnasium.  Travis, the churches soundman, is very happy with all the changes.

2003 - Phase One of a new campus.   Includes an oversized gym-a-torium with a permanent stage and temporary seating for 850.  Jordan Audio completed the sound reinforcement system engineering and design working closely with the congregation's music minister and a very tight budget. The system was built by a regional sound contractor. Jordan Audio inspected and calibrated the system, then assisted the music minister with the necessary training.

2008 - Phase Two - Four additional systems have been completed including a teen worship room with sound, video and lighting, a children’s theater, a children's playground, and a large commons area with both video and audio.  

2009 - redesigned the gym-a-torium system to better accommodate the new musical style of the congregation.

Project:   This 2000 seat project included the engineering, design and supervision for construction of the core of a sound reinforcement system in the multi purpose building in 1991.  The budget was very limited, but high quality was maintained.  When additional funds became available in 2001, the system was reworked, expanded, updated and finished.  Additional modifications were completed in the summer of 2006.  The work was completed by Jordan Audio supervising campus personal and a couple of alumni working as volunteers.

All About Us

Gary Jordan is a detail-oriented Audio Engineer with a keen eye on the ‘Big Picture’ who has worked with sound, lighting, staging and projection since 1978. His talent and passion turned into a full time career in 1988 with the founding of Jordan's Stormy Banks Productions.

THE COMPANY-

From its beginning in Kokomo, Indiana, to its current operation based in Joplin, Missouri, Jordan Audio Consultants has been raising the bar for performance-oriented sound, video and lighting systems found in churches across the Midwest. Started in 1992, Jordan Audio Consultants was formed to assist churches with their growing media system needs, as well as optimizing their current systems. Offering Design and Consultation Services without the influence of selling the equipment has proven advantageous to the numerous church leaders, contractors and architects that Jordan Audio has worked together with. Now is our 21st year, we commitment to high quality projects has not wavered..

THE PHILOSOPHY-

 

A great media system is based upon quality parts and assembled with an attention to details. "It's not just about the gear, it's about the systems."  Keeping the 'Big Picture' is focus while considering the room acoustics, electrical needs, aesthetic concerns, safety issues, operators' experience, and budgets are all important to any system.  Through experience, asking the right questions, testing and specifying equipment that meets a high standard of performance, aids in keeping every system performing at its best for many years. 

Our audio systems focus on the intelligibility of the spoken word, the emotion of music, and the intimacy of dramatic presentations.

Our video systems blend ease of use with stable and reliable performance and bold viewing from any seat.

Beginning January of 2010 Jordan Audio Consultants is a division of Jordan Media Enterprises LLC.  Nothing about Jordan Audio has changed except for the bookkeeping and legal aspects.

 Professional References:

Jordan Audio has worked on several church projects of various sizes and styles with numerous congregations.  On some of these projects, we worked directly with the church while on other projects where we were hired by the architect or the general contractor.  Contact information for several of these professionals is listed below.
