Sound That Unites the Congregation: NLAG, Hyderabad
Ansata and d&b audiotechnik deliver clarity, coverage, and impact for a large worship space
Setting the Scene
NLAG, Hyderabad is a large worship venue where sermons, music, and congregational participation come together to create a powerful shared experience. With a wide seating area and dynamic services that blend spoken word and live music, the role of sound is central to how messages are delivered and received.
To support this scale and diversity, the venue required a professional audio system that could provide clarity, consistency, and musical impact, while integrating cleanly into the church’s architecture. Ansata, exclusive distributor of d&b audiotechnik in India, was engaged to design a solution aligned with these goals.
The Challenge
The acoustic requirements of the space were clear:
- A large worship area needing clear speech and powerful music reinforcement
- Consistent coverage across a wide seating layout, without hotspots or dead zones
- High intelligibility for sermons, even at the farthest seats
- A compact, visually clean system that complemented the church interior
The system needed to perform reliably week after week, delivering the same experience to every member of the congregation.
The Solution
Ansata designed a system based on d&b audiotechnik’s Y-Series line array loudspeakers, chosen for their controlled directivity and ability to deliver uniform sound over distance.
The Y-Series provides precise pattern control, allowing sound to be focused on the congregation while minimizing unwanted reflections. This results in improved speech intelligibility and a more defined, impactful musical experience.
By carefully configuring the system, Ansata ensured balanced SPL across all seating zones, creating a cohesive listening experience regardless of position within the hall. The compact form factor of the Y-Series allowed the system to integrate discreetly into the architectural design of the space.
The Result
With the d&b Y-Series sound system, NLAG now benefits from clear, powerful, and evenly distributed audio throughout the worship space. Sermons are articulate and engaging, music feels full and immersive, and the congregation experiences consistent sound from front to back.
The installation demonstrates how controlled directivity and thoughtful system design can transform large worship environments
