Mount Hermon

Services Provided: Auditorium Audio and Acoustics

An aging sound system led to an acoustics overhaul in this rustic auditorium nestled in the Redwood Forest. We installed high-quality speaker replacements to provide consistency between both indoor and outdoor seating areas. Mount Hermon self-installed premade acoustic panels with a design layout and installation instructions provided by Alive Media.

Over a five-year span, including major projects in 2016 and 2021, aging equipment in both primary worship venues at Fremont Presbyterian Church received a complete overhaul. Alive Media added video streaming support from the primary teaching venue in the sanctuary to the Community Life Center, which now serves as a video venue.

Stanford University

Services Provided: Dinkelspiel Auditorium Soundscape System

Alive Media worked with the Stanford University Music Department, d&b audiotechnik, and Audio West to install d&b Soundscape systems to allow object-based mixing and acoustic room emulation for separate audience and stage zones. For this project, we participated in a significant overhaul of the room’s AV infrastructure. This included the creation of an AV equipment rack room, running over a mile of cable and associated custom wall plates, installing approximately 2000 square feet of acoustic absorption, room and stage microphones with remotely-controlled height adjustment, and assistive listening, wireless mics, and other miscellaneous audio system upgrades.

Valley Children’s Healthcare

Services Provided: Large Conference Room Voice Lift

“We don’t want to have to wear mics while we present, and we want the freedom to move around a bit.” This is what Valley Children’s Healthcare requested from Alive Media for their acoustical upgrades. By installing three ceiling microphone arrays and the needed processing behind them, we gave this client the flexibility to clearly communicate from the front of the room without the constraints of wearing or standing behind a typical microphone.

River City Christian Church

Services Provided: Sanctuary Acoustics

After a planned remodel of their existing worship center to include additional bleacher seating, River City Christian Church requested an acoustics upgrade from Alive Media. The room’s many large flat wall surfaces were causing significant reflections of the new PA system into the audience seating. Alive Media installed approximately 2,700 square feet of wedge diffusion/absorbers on all walls to help lower the reverberation time of the room and reduce primary reflections from both the stage and PA system.

William Jessup University

Services Provided: Gymnasium Acoustics

The live acoustic environment of the William Jessup University gym was causing communication issues for athletics coaches during practices. To solve this issue, Alive Media installed approximately 2,700 square feet of two-inch lapendary panels to the gymnasium ceiling, lowering the room’s reverberation time and allowing for increased clarity of communication.

Calvary Monterey

Sacramento History Museum

Services Provided: Entry Projection Upgrade

A large thirty-foot entry wall at the Sacramento History Museum required a visual statement. The museum tried projecting on the wall with a small business-class projector, but it was not bright enough. Alive Media helped the museum install a large venue 16,000-lumen projector, which packed the visual display capability required for a crisp image and projection.
