Luke Vogal Of Fulcrum Acoustic : This Changes Church Audio

What is an immersive audio system—and why is everyone talking about it in the House of Worship world?In this episode, Justin sits down with Luke Vogel (Fulcrum Acoustic) to break down immersive audio in plain English: what it is, how it works, and what it actually changes in real rooms. We cover the two big pieces of “immersive” that often get mixed together—object-based mixing (spatial audio) and active/virtual acoustics—and why pairing them can create a more natural, clearer, and more engaging worship experience.Luke shares his journey from small-town church sound to Nashville studio work, touring, 17 years at Church of the Highlands, and how VenueFlex’s immersive platform became part of Fulcrum Acoustic. We also dig into Fulcrum’s design philosophy, including coaxial point-source benefits, consistent voicing using DSP presets, pattern control / beam forming, and why Fulcrum has become a serious conversation in churches—especially with cardioid loudspeaker solutions and new product innovations.If you’ve wondered:Why does immersive need “more speakers”?Is immersive really the future of church audio?Does it help volunteer mixers?How does object placement reduce EQ “fighting” in a mix?…this one’s for you.Connect with Luke:Instagram / socials: @LukeVogelEmail: [email protected]: https://rb.gy/d4elq4Apple: https://rb.gy/zuw4a4Email: [email protected]@enhanceavl.comhttps://www.enhanceavl.com/
