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.

music minister with the necessary training.

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.

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.
