The Church Triumphant of Columbus, Ohio’s audio and video was upgraded in three phases. Phase one provided audio and video for their new worship space. With an eye on future expansion, an expanded EAW speaker system was selected and installed with two rear projection screens.

We incorporated their existing Allen & Heath 40-channel console and added an Architectural Acoustics digital processor to provide system tuning for main, monitor, and recording feeds. Because the temporary extended stage wouldn’t permit wiring, video prompting was achieved by adding a new projection system on the back wall of the sanctuary. The second phase was implemented to accommodate a cutting edge music and theatrical program.

These provide the musicians control over their monitor mixes and significantly reduce stage volume for a crisper sound in the house.

Two folded EAW horn subs added intense lower frequency response. Extensive acoustic treatment was added to remove the “gym echo” and create a balanced sound. For lighting, a Leviton dimmer rack provided 24 new channels of dimming. Adding ten moving head light fixtures and various specialized fixtures transformed the existing lighting into a theatrical system. Their tech team can plan and preview the light show with ShowXpress 3D modeled computer control. Finally, the last phase included an Aviom personal monitor system and second overhead monitor. These provide the musicians control over their monitor mixes and significantly reduce stage volume for a crisper sound in the house.

Marsh Harbour Gospel Chapel of the Bahamas needed an easy to use and reliable audio/video system. Sonic Art responded with a state of the art, easily managed solution. The sanctuary was acoustically modeled and EAW speakers were selected for smooth and even high quality audio for the congregation, platform and sound booth. A Tascam digital mixing console controls the system allowing the sound team to have their own presets improving consistency of sound from service to service.

We can access this system from anywhere in the world, allowing us to remedy system issues, perform fine-tuning and updates at any time.

The musicians have an Aviom in-ear monitor mixing system at their disposal to ensure an ideal audio blend for each member. There is seamless switching between an HD camera and a PC Media Center that feeds an LCD projector providing a dynamic visual presentation for the congregation.

First Evangelical Covenant Church of Rockford, IL contacted Sonic Art with a challenging need for an audio upgrade. The unique building, shaped like a pyramid, was in dire need of a new sound system to keep up with their growing congregation. Using state of the art computer technology, the entire church was replicated in 3D. The system was then designed to cover only the congregation and not the irregular surfaces of the ceiling and walls.

With the addition of wireless systems, system tuning and training, First Evangelical Covenant Church is ready to grow and bring the message to its congregation.

A four speaker EAW cluster with overhead platform monitor was decided upon. QSC amplifiers were chosen, and hooked up to a computer controlled system to allow both technical personnel on site and Sonic Art remotely to monitor all aspects of the amplifiers performance. At the head of the system, a Yamaha digital console runs the show, with the capability of saving user presets for the various services and operators the church required. With the addition of wireless systems, system tuning and training, First Evangelical Covenant Church is ready to grow and bring the message to its congregation.

 

After calling on us in the past to supply and install an Aviom personal monitoring system to enhance their worship services, Faith Church in Manitowoc, WI needed a multipurpose A/V system for their youth center and newly remodeled foyer.

For their youth center, they needed a system that could accommodate multiple purposes, was simple to use, and most important robust for the full volumes and heavy usage that would likely be involved with young people. A combination of high responsive QSC surface mount and ceiling speakers were placed and digitally tuned for a smooth response along with two high impact QSC subwoofers. The youth center has their own 12-channel Soundcraft mixer to run sound for concerts and worship. They can also conduct classes aided with convenient wall plate connections for a microphone and computer. A 6” Xantech Touchscreen wall-mounted panel gave them the flexible control they needed. This made it easy to switch between inputs from various sources. These include CD, iPod, DVD, video games, soundboard, presentation microphone, computer, and video monitoring the sanctuary. A powerful Sanyo projector displays all of this.

It was important that the system was flexible and simple to use.

Their foyer serves as a pre-service cafe area, social gathering place for ball games, along with a place for meetings, parties, and training. It was important that the system was flexible and simple to use. We designed a discrete audio system with high output in-ceiling Atlas speakers along with two 52” LCD screens mounted to the walls. The foyer is also a place they can conduct meetings with wall plate connections for a mic and computer. With another Xantech Touchscreen to manage this A/V system, the staff can easily switch between various sources such as DVD, CD, HDTV, microphone and computer, as well as video monitoring the sanctuary.

These solutions provided Faith Church with progressive technology that is flexible and easy to use, ultimately giving their space more diversity and function.
