Long time integrator, Worship Resources, was brought in to develop an appropriate audio design, and Allen & Heath's iLive digital mixing system was chosen to handle Front of House and monitors for the larger sanctuary.
With a volunteer technical staff and a large musical presentation, it was essential that the new console be easy to learn and use. "Previously, the sanctuary had an analogue console but Sunday morning worship now comprises two back-to-back rehearsals and two services," explains Tom Rutledge, owner of Worship Resources. "Going with an iLive digital system was the best way to handle multiple styles of worship with fast changeovers."
"We had demos of a lot of different boards, and the ease of learning on iLive just jumped out at me. More than anything else, that's what sold it to us," notes Nate Grella, technical director at Christ's Church. "It's so user friendly - you just select the channel you want and everything is right there for you. The TouchScreen lets you see what's happening as you change EQ, for instance, which makes it easy to grasp. iLive made training our volunteers a lot easier."
