The Parish Church of St Laurence’s, Ludlow has a vast Nave and Chancel. Large spaces and odd shaped areas can present specific problems when trying to install an induction loop.

St Laurence's, Ludlow

Induction loops tend to work well in rectangular, symmetrical areas with even measurements. St Laurence’s is anything but this.

The system was designed using simulation software to predict where the problem areas might be. Loops work on a magnetic basis, and the field strength has to be consistent, otherwise volume irregularities occur for the listener.

The High Chancel

Careful attention was given to the large Naves ensuring the feed wire could deliver the recommended signal to each pew within tolerance.

In the much narrower High Chancel, a special transformer was utilised to ‘step-down’ the drive current as the area required much less signal.

Delivery to the loop system is derived from the installed reinforcement system, a design and installation undertaken by Jeff Byard in 1995.

It was state of the art then (it had the first automatic feedback suppression system ever to be installed in a heritage building in the UK) and due to our annual Essential Care servicing package, remains the high quality system it was at commissioning.

Great care has to
be taken with the wiring
