The d&b En-Scene software enables object-based mixing and positioning designed to create an authentic acoustic reality. It locates and tracks each individual sound object; harmonizing what is seen and heard to bring together what belongs together or pushing them far apart, while the d&b En-Space software modifies reverberation signatures to transform the acoustics of any space.
One of the main challenges to overcome was the low ceiling inside of the building. There was a huge challenge with sight-lines because the roof is so low relative to the size of the room and seating sections, so they needed a solution that created quality audio coverage across the room but also did not obstruct the visual space. Ultimately d&b Soundscape was chosen because it checked so many boxes. Many of Pinelake’s other campuses and facilities have d&b sound systems so leaders at the church were familiar with the company’s products.
The d&b Soundscape system gives Pinelake tools to mix audio into the room to create an engaging experience while removing distractions created by traditional speaker systems, so the message is clear.

When Pinelake Church transitioned to a more contemporary style of worship, it pointed out weaknesses and the age of the current sound system. These weaknesses created a roadblock to their overall effectiveness of services. To make their services more effective and overcome the challenges of the space, Pinelake Church turned to d&b audiotechnik to create quality audio coverage across the room while not obstructing the visual space. Leaders at the church chose d&b Soundscape based on the powerful sound that they have heard from it on other campuses and based on what they needed to achieve. d&b Soundscape in this application brings the benefit of being able to mix with space and size that’s compelling to the audience while representing every seat in the house equally. d&b Soundscape checked all of their boxes and brought powerful, immersive sound to the space.
The main stakeholders involved in the project were all very satisfied: . “With the new system the band sounds amazing and the vocals are easy to understand. That’s so important in worship music to be able to hear the lyrics and sing along and the same thing is true for the message,” says Hoober. “The Soundscape system gives us all of those things wrapped up together.”
