SARANGSAEM CHURCH, SOUTH KOREA

Located in Busan’s beautiful Gijang-gun county, Sarangsaem Church established in

2010. Sarangsaem Church incorporates elements of the local culture and aims to offer a

space that caters to gatherings of the local community. In order to provide an exceptional

audio experience for the church’s members and visitors alike, Sarangsaem Church hired

leading AV integrator Kinoton Korea to outfit the Great Chapel and additional classrooms

with premium audio solutions. Kinoton Korea selected a range of JBL loudspeakers to

deliver clarity, versatility and balanced coverage.

“We wanted to make sure our Great Chapel could be used for a variety of events by

our members and by members of the local community,” said GyeongHwan Park,

representative minister of Sarangsaem Church. “To achieve this goal, we required robust

loudspeaker solutions to support a range of activities and functions, including weddings,

holiday celebrations, and art therapy sessions for underprivileged children. The HARMAN

systems installed by Kinoton is perfectly suited to serve our needs as a church and as a

special events space. We couldn’t choose a better brand to help make our vision become

a reality.”

Focused on delivering balanced sound quality and coverage for a spectrum of events,

Kinoton Korea equipped the church’s Great Chapel with an impressive JBL sound

reinforcement system comprised of VRX932LAP line arrays with VRX918SP subwoofers.

The VRX932LAP’s constant curvature waveguide and array coherence makes it the

ideal choice for medium sized venues that don’t require the long-throw characteristics

of larger line-arrays, while the VRX918SP delivers powerful bass performance in a

compact, easy-to-hang design.

“ We required robust

loudspeaker solutions to

support a range of activities

and functions, including

weddings, holiday celebrations,

and art therapy sessions for

underprivileged children.”

HOUSES OF WORSHIP

Kinoton also deployed versatile JBL PRX812W powered speakers to provide accurate

stage monitoring, and to facilitate events requiring portable but powerful sound

reinforcement. Recognizing that technology plays an increasingly important role in

education and communication, Kinoton installed the classrooms and meeting rooms with

JBL Control 25AV, AC26 and AC28 loudspeakers to ensure flawless audio quality during

classes, presentations and meetings.

“Our goal was to provide Sarangsaem Church with superior sound quality and ensure

perfectly balanced coverage in their Great Chapel,” said James Jung, Audio Department,

Kinoton Korea. “We wouldn’t have had the same success without JBL speakers, which

provide spectacular listening experiences for a variety of events. For houses of worship,

there is no better provider of AV solutions than HARMAN, and that’s why we constantly

rely on them to make our clients’ dreams into reality.”

“Houses of worship are constantly evolving and they require comprehensive AV solutions

to keep up with advances in technology,” said Ramesh Jayaraman, VP & GM, APAC,

HARMAN Professional Solutions. “We are privileged to provide Sarangsaem Church with

scalable audio solutions which elevate their worshippers’ experiences. We thank Kinoton

Korea for delivering excellent customer service and trusting HARMAN products to satisfy

their customers’ requirements.”
