This Southern
Baptist church broke ground for their new $2.2
million dollar Family Life Center in the Summer
of 2005. In the Fall of 2006, they completed
their new facility consisting
of 24,000 square feet of space, which they now
use to provide Christian Education for adults
of all ages. There are six meeting rooms on the
first floor to accommodate multi-purpose use;
with the large area
providing a gym/fellowship hall space. A large
commercial-size kitchen shines from the
industrial grade silver appliances. The second
floor offers ten meeting/multipurpose
rooms, a walking track, and a coffee
bar/gathering center.
With a
facility such as this, there are limitless
options for usage - one being a place
to hold seminars or have youth worship services.
Together, the committee and MAV identified the
audio and video needs of the building and worked
toward the best possible solution that was also
budget friendly. Installation day came and went.
The job is complete.
When
you first walk into the
new Family Life Center, you will have to look
hard to see most of the equipment due
to how and where it was installed. We paid close attention to the
installation process to insure the placement of
all equipment was aesthetically pleasing. Four
EV Sx series
speakers provide professionally calibrated
output of clear audio throughout the entire
building, whether it is music or voice. These
speakers enjoy a special boost from the
QSC Amplifier
and a great mix from the
Inter-M PP 9214 Pre-Amp Mixer.
Also a huge part of the audio mix is the BiAmp
MSP22e. The MSP22e is a Dual-Channel
Multi-Function DSP System Processor which
combines gain management, equalization, delay,
cross-over, and mix-matrix functions, all in a
convenient and affordable single rack-space
package. This DSP-based unit includes leveling,
compression, limiting, & soft-gating functions,
plus combined 1/3-octave & parametric
equalization with high-pass & low-pass filters,
plus delay with automatic distance calculation,
plus a 2-way cross-over mode with CD Horn
pre-emphasis, plus two independent mixmatrixes,
and the ability to link two units creating dual
4x4 channel-to-channel mix-matrixing.
To satisfy the
video projection need, HITACHI was chosen
because of their reputation and installed using
a universal projector mount manufactured by
Premier Mounts. Because of the distance between
the projector and the screen, a long throw lens
was also used. A Gefen Video Amplifier is used
to prevent signal loss between the signal
origination and the projector.
