CHURCH ACOUSTICS AND REVERBERATION
CHURCH SOLVES REVERBERATION PROBLEM WITH FABRITEC™ WALL PANELS
At Foothill Community Church in Angels Camp, California, parishioners know they will hear more than your average Sunday service. Each sermon also includes moving vocal and instrumental performances. It's a format that everyone seems to enjoy. But there is one problem - reverberation.

Church staff
tried a number of things to fix their
acoustical troubles, but they just couldn't
fix the three-second delay that turned the
2700-square-foot worship center into a
reverberation chamber that distorted the
pastor's message and music. "For a year and a half, we tried everything from hanging banners to stacking furniture, to redirecting the speakers," says David Bowman, Foothill's worship leader. "We knew we had a problem; we just didn't know how to solve it." |

The church brought in an acoustic products distributor, who helped them identify the problem as too much reverberation in the mid and high frequencies. Knowing how important music is to the church, the distributor recommended installing pinta's FABRITEC Wall Panels because they would maintain the room's liveliness, while toning down the excess.
Made of a core of pinta's Class 1 fire-rated willtec® foam sandwiched between two 1/16th-inch fiberglass substrates, the wall panels have done an excellent job of stopping the reverberation that was distorting the music and message of the church.
