Chauvet gives church audience-friendly rig
- Details
Wanting to devote its resources to these missions, the church is careful not to overspend on its main campus north of Kansas City. However, music plays an important role in its two Sunday services, and its sermons are featured on live podcasts, so it needed quality sound and lighting systems to engage worshippers. It got both recently, when it upgraded its sanctuary with Stark Raving Solutions. The Lenexa, Kansas, company provided the church with a cost-efficient audio system and a new broadcast and live audience-friendly lighting rig that features Chauvet Professional COLORado fixtures.
“We were involved in expanding a new youth rig for the church, so when they wanted to upgrade their sanctuary they turned to us,” said Stephen Ellison, lighting and stage designer at Stark Raving Solutions. “From a lighting standpoint, we didn’t have the budget for a big rig, but we wanted to get a lot of color on stage to support the church’s dynamic services, which feature a lot of upbeat music. The COLORados, with their color rendering capabilities, were an excellent fit.”
The Stark Raving team installed 10 COLORado 2-Quad Zoom Tour and 5 COLORado 1-Quad Zoom Tour fixtures at the church to replace the track lights it had been using to illuminate its stage. “We created a great transformation with the COLORados,” said Ellison. “The variety and richness of the colors we were able to get made every aspect of the service seem more alive.”
