Coptic Orthodox sanctuary & multi-purpose room
Sanctuary + multi-purpose room
Full AV & sound system design
Dante audio over IP · suspended dual-screen array
The brief
Complex curved geometry, one clear voice.
A complete AV and sound system design spanning the newly built sanctuary — with its domed ceiling, full Byzantine-arched iconostasis, and complex curved geometry — and the church’s adjacent multi-purpose room. We delivered AV network design and distribution, audio and video network configuration, and multi-purpose room sound design, all built on the Dante professional audio networking standard.
Systems
- Dante audio-over-IP network
- AV distribution & network configuration
- Multi-zone sanctuary sound design
- Suspended dual-screen display array
Design by Hany Salib in collaboration with Philokalia Design
“The system should serve the space, not compete with it.”
Why it works
- Speaker placement worked around a domed ceiling and a full Byzantine-arched iconostasis — coverage without visual intrusion.
- One Dante network carries audio and video for the sanctuary and the multi-purpose room.
- The system serves the liturgy: the best sound system in a church is the one you don't notice.

A sanctuary that finally sounds the way it should. We delivered a discreet multi-zone sound system integrated directly into the church's coffered ceiling.
