Biamp Audia at Bangor Cathedral.
Apple Sound has completed phase one of Bangor Cathedral’s new audio installation.
Phil Brown, director of Apple Sound, made this comment. “Excellent coverage has been achieved by using Biamp’s Audia system. Audia’s DSP controller is a single box. It was simple to set up combinations to switch different areas on and off, and to control the loudspeaker network, with includes echo cancellation, equalistion and delays. We chose beyerdynamic Opus300 wireless microphones. Phase two will involve an overhaul of the speakers later this year”.

Historical Bangor Cathedral
Founded c.525, more than 70 years before Canterbury, the Cathedral is the only institution in Bangor that has survived through the changing scenes of national and local life.
About the year 530AD there was a man named Deiniol who settled on the site. Having been given land by Maelgwn, King of Gwynedd, he enclosed it with a fence constructed by driving poles into the ground and weaving branches in between them. The native technical term for this type of fence was 'bangor'.
Within this enclosure Deiniol built a church. He and his followers erected huts or cells in which to live. They were missionaries, evangelising and encouraging others to join them. Families and individuals began to arrive. They built their own dwelling places and they would all worship together in the little church.
Eventually a Celtic monastery, or Clas, was formed.
The word 'bangor' was transferred from the original object - in this case the fence - to that closely associated with it - the settlement within. So that is how Bangor got its name.
