About 5,000 guests regularly attend Browns Bridge Community Church, which opened in October 2006. As with Buckhead Church in nearby Buckhead, Ga., an impressive, high-definition video presentation featuring senior pastor Andy Stanley's sermons highlights the church's Sunday morning programming. The recently installed Meyer Sound system ensures that everyone in the audience hears the inspirational messages with unquestionable intelligibility.
The loudspeaker system in the 2,100-seat main sanctuary is comprised of 26 self-powered M'elodie boxes configured in two arrays. "M'elodie was an ideal choice for the Browns Bridge campus: it provides a powerful, highly focused performance that is both articulate and musical, yet it is compact enough that it doesn't interfere with the aesthetics of the room," says Matt Card, vice president of client development at Cumming, Ga.-based Clark ProMedia, which supplied audio and video systems for all three campuses.
The Browns Bridge sanctuary building also houses the Attic Theatre, a 700-seat venue designed to accommodate smaller functions such as teen and young adult programmes. For the Attic, Clark ProMedia created a smaller array of 12 M'elodie cabinets augmented by six UPJ-1P boxes. Low frequency coverage is handled by four 700-HP subs.
