Already the largest church in the region, the 12,000-member church chose to remodel its existing main sanctuary by adding an additional 700 seats.
At the heart of the new sound reinforcement system are 38 JBL VerTec VT4888 midsize line array elements flown in four arrays with 16 JBL ASB6128V subwoofers, 10 flown and six located under the stage. For front-fills, seven JBL AC28/95 loudspeakers are housed behind the perimeter of the stage. "The goal was to provide rock and roll style PA without filling the space with tons of speakers," stated Brant Doell, system designer for Strategic Connections.
The system is powered by 49 Crown MA5000i amplifiers and 10 CTs 2000 and CTs 3000 amplifiers with control and routing handled by BSS Soundweb London BLU-160 processors, all networked via Harman HiQnetSystem Architect. "Having the entire system on the network from one location allows us to handle troubleshooting sessions from our office to help insure the customer has the best support possible," added Doell.
