Given that the church was built prior to the Second Vatican council, it would not surprise me if a smaller pipe organ had existed prior to renovations made to the church post-1962, it was likely removed like many others (not a parishioner at St. Catherine of Siena, so who knows though). Many churches where I am from were sacked by the post-1962 movement, which is why you see grand architecture like with this church, but they lack certain elements you might expect (like an organ, or a high altar, etc.)

The reality is that pipes are constantly buzzing themselves out of tune. Dust also causes detuning. And the old pneumatic controllers are expensive to maintain and fix. An old organ not properly maintained can easily become a financial burden to a church with dwindling funds.

A real pipe organ for filling a sanctuary that large would cost well over a million dollars for a quality instrument. My church put in a high quality organ and it was well over a million and a half installed. Thankfully, the bill was fronted by a single donation from a decades-old member of the congregation who rose to be CEO of a company a few years ago so the whole project was done without even a donation drive.

I think one of the few commercial solutions I've seen is Funktion One who make a 32" horn loaded subwoofer. I think it is over 15000 watts by itself. Designed specifically for low frequencies like this. You will still need a whole array though if you want to emulate a 64' stop. At that point you may want to try a fan subwoofer as those will likely be a better fit. Nice project though. I've built just a few of these myself :)

Without ported or passive radiator the box can be half the size and he has strong performance to 13hz that gives my body a strange feeling with such a low shake. Sealed/closed box design has less output compared to ported or passive radiator but with something so large and subs that have good specs to be in a sealed box its pretty crazy shaking and nothing audible other than the walls, my clothing and things in the room shaking.

Our pipe organ company maintains a few pipe organs with WALKER 32' pedal stop additions. The cabinets are tuned for 16 Hz. bottom CCCC for both Bombard, Bourdon and Open Diapason. Just two 15" long through woofers in a cabinet 7' tall with a large rectangular port and a 200 watt Carver amp for each FILLS a huge space. The low end is NOT overly loud, yet voiced for the room and sounds natural. You should NOT have sympathetic vibrations which are heard here.

We have clients with WALKER-pipe combinations, and and the company in this video. With WALKER it is almost impossible to tell the difference between what is real and what is WALKER. The builder in this video and pipe combinations that we also service is very discernible from what is real and what is fake. But when a potential customer is ignorant it is an easy sell.

The Allen SR-5s which have been around at least 30 years start to nose dive in output around 40 Hz. If you look at the spectrum analysis graph you can see one of these loudspeakers is about 87dB at about 30Hz. The enclosures are terribly small, and you cannot shake a building effectively with a 15" loudspeaker driver. Laws of physics and placement also makes a big difference. The Allen SR-1 cabinets might have been better, but I doubt by much. The McCauley 6174 18" driver with a 4" voice coil in a 6ft³ (169.9L) 11 ply Finland Birch enclosure has a full range sensitivity of 94dB. Freq. Response (-3dB) 15Hz - 800Hz. A full power handling (AES) of 800 watts. Max Peak SPL Full Range 129dB. Max Continuous SPL Full Range 123.031dB.
@DandyDon1
@DandyDon1 Месяц назад
Deep bass is something you feel. As Virgil Fox would say "You should feel it where you sit". Since 16Hz is not something that can be recorded, I believe most digital organ manufacturers synthesize the fundamental frequency from the first recordable harmonic . From the harmonics of that pedal voice, it sounds like a Contra Trombone or Contra Bombarde which at times has short resonators, which makes it sound like a machine gun. If you really want to shake heaven and earth a 32' Contra Violone is a nice "thick" heavy "sub-bass" pedal voice. A great old-skool pedal loudspeaker was the EV/University 30W (30"). Two of those mounted in a door way of a concrete walled basement would shake the church and several buildings around the property. It was rated at 60 watts. Unfortunately the cones were heavy and tended to sag if they were not turned regularly.

(I think one can be seen in a picture of Liberace and Virgil). Is there any description of the speaker compliment to that touring organ and amplifiers used ? I remember a lot of harmonic content on the pedals.(some clipping?) As Don Keele Jr. illustrated long ago , reflex can be king at LF bulk for bulk vs horn.

Go watch Anna Lapwood playing along with Bonobo at the Royal Albert Hall. The Bonobo guys have literally several metric tons of amplifiers and speakers hanging from the ceiling and they are pretty loud. Then when they get to the bit where Anna plays along that organ just... well it doesn't care, it overpowers the amplification. The common joke in the comments is: Q: "How many watts do we need for that concert with the organ? A: "Yes" Actual organs, done right, are nearly impossible to replicate electronically due to the sheer volume of air that they move. At the St.Bavo church in Haarlem Netherlands it's not just the handrail that shakes, it's half the church. Think of it this way: an electronic system has a handful of amplifiers driving a handful of speakers and is limited by how much air the speakers can move. An organ has a separate amplifier and speaker for every pipe and in most cases it will use several pipes from different registers at once for a single note. In a "pull out all the stops" scenario you can be listening to two chords on the hands and two notes on the feet, all playing four, five, fix registers = more pipes than speakers in the setup of this video. Extremes, sure, but that's what organs are all about.
@sw6188
@sw6188 Месяц назад
Quite right and some very good points there. Technically it would be possible to replicate a church organ using speakers, and the way I would do it is with horns. A couple of bass horns, one in each corner using the corner of the walls for loading and the rest of it with an array of horns for mid and tops. It keeps the power requirements down.

Looks very impressive. However, the demonstration note you played at the end was, I believe, a 32' reed stop like a 32' Bombarde or 32' Posaune. Unfortunately, reed stops have very little fundamental. They are mostly upper harmonics. I'd like to hear something like a 32' Subbass or 32' Contrabourdon. They are basically all fundamental and would really shake the roof. Of course, those us listening on RU-vid would probably not hear anything because our speakers couldn't handle it.

The microphone of whatever this video was recorded on would not be able to respond to such a low frequency, so what you are hearing are just harmonics and things resonating in sympathy. A frequency this low isn't actually "heard" by human ears, we tend to "feel" it more than anything.

How many watts do you have to pump into that infra-subwoofer beast? Multiple amps (highs, midrange, sub, infra-sub)? I'd guess for the infra-sub it would be a Class D amp for efficiency and bang-for-the-buck. And I expect this is all running mono, not stereo?

Could you elaborate on how many kW you need to in order to produce that amount of low end? That's crazy! Also awesome setup of the curved speakers, that directs and magnifies the sound to a point and shoves out out more the center

I want ONE!!! I got 4 PBG-18" subs from ROCKVILLE with 2 RPA-16 amps powering them. They go down to 20Hz. no problem but. I'm thinking of getting a 3000-watt powered sub from ROCKVILLE It's a wing flap sub 1 18" speaker with a 120 OZ. magnet. This sub can go lower than 20Hz. Excellent sub DUDE. The room I have my subs in is 12' X 15' so a little difference actually living inside a speaker cab.. in your own home from a church space.. come over and listen sometime to my bass setup..

The acoustic shadow doesnt come into play for unidirectional low frequencies. The concrete pad in fact is an acoustic mirror, almost perfectly reflecting frequencies (concrete tends to notch out 1k) upwards whilst (KJV) the ceiling reflects the frequencies back, creating a resonant chamber for the sound to project from. Only the high frequencies will be in the acoustic shadow of the upper balcony, mainly because of the high freq speaker boxes being arranged visually instead of aurally. The horizontal parabolic array layout isn't necessary in what is basically a giant hallway with a limited throw pattern. 🤓

Sound design for a church is one of the most difficult jobs, in my opinion. There's this tiny little sweet spot between "Everything is muddy echoes and reflections" and "What do they think this is, a concert venue?" You have to get the sound as good as you can, but still have it naturally fade into the background of everyone's attention and not distract from the reason everyone is supposed to be there. I've been in a church where they went the 'concert venue' route, and it just laid bare the fact that church musicians and choirs are... enthusiastic amateurs.

@shazam6274 Месяц назад
@@talyrath It's not that hard. Most sound contractors know how to build a rack with a bunch of boxes and wire it together. Some know how to hang a cluster of speakers. But few know "Why"... so the sound is from underwhelming to barely listenable. The "Why" is the acoustic, electro acoustic and physics of sound. Devin knows "Why" and "How" it shows in his videos.

At that frequency, it is more a movement of air than a note. All sorts of things will resonate so you'll never get a clean "sound", and the microphone of whatever he was recording this on wouldn't be able to deal with such low frequencies anyway.
