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.
