Mount Pisgah United Methodist Church in Johns Creek, Georgia recently added two CL5s and CL1 Digital Audio Console to its sanctuary; a CL5 and CL1 are located at the front of house location and the second CL5 at monitors. Muzeek World of Corona, CA was responsible for the upgrade. Long familiar with Yamaha digital consoles having owned a 96-channel PM1D, the CL console set up will enable the church to cascade the two front of house consoles together for the desired channel count necessary for the sanctuary.

“The CL5 will also be used as a Broadcast console, set up as a stereo board and integrated with Nuendo for multi-tracking,” states John Sardari, senior AV account manager for Muzeek World.

The 2500-seat Mount Pisgah UMC currently has over 2500 members in its congregation. Two services are held on Sunday, both traditional and contemporary, with full orchestra and a 100-voice choir along with rhythm section and soloists.

APG North East Asia has announced completion of its first Uniline house of worship installation in China. Situated in Shantou, the 3,000 capacity Shantou Sheng Ming Tang church is one of the biggest in the Guangdong province.

The project was carried out by MPHK Group Ltd, the Hong Kong based APG dealer, who installed the entire sound system as well as HD video and LED stage lighting solutions. The project was completed in just a month, from system design to implementation.

“The main acoustical challenge was to overcome the unwanted resonance due to the size of the church,” remembers APG North and Eastern Asia Managing Director Raymond Wong. “Its high ceilings and the presence of two corridors on each side of the room were challenging as they created unwanted resonance. Because the Uniline range is easily controllable, we knew we would easily overcome those challenges and provide consistent coverage and high intelligibility for the public”

The history of Mosaic Church goes back to the 1940s, when the then-called Bethel Baptist Church met for the first time with 35 members in a rented storefront. In the ensuing decades, the church broke records for missionaries and founded numerous churches throughout southern California and the world. Today, Mosaic maintains that drive with a (very) contemporary worship style that’s big on energy and spirit. The church moved into a new 750-seat sanctuary in 2012 with the sound reinforcement system that had been designed for its previous space. It didn’t fit very well, but now Mosaic is back to rocking concert-style services with a full-blooded Danley Sound Labs sound reinforcement system, with point-source clarity, low distortion, stellar pattern control, and abundant SPL.

Christie® was the solution Clark, a leading audio, video and lighting provider specializing in houses of worship, selected for Preston Trail Community Church in Frisco, Texas. Renowned for their exceptional reliability and brightness, six Christie 3DLP® projectors including the Christie Roadie HD+30K and the Roadster HD20K-J, light up the church’s interconnected worship spaces with crystal-clear images for a more robust service. The worship center includes the 1,800-seat auditorium featuring a two side screens framing a center screen, a 500-seat youth center, and two smaller spaces for younger children.

Since its beginning as a mobile ministry in 2004, Preston Trail’s unique presentational style of communicating the message has consistently resonated with the faithful and helped grow the congregation to over 3,000 worshipers. When its pastors decided to establish a permanent worship venue, they moved from an old manufacturing facility into a new, ground-up constructed building. Collaborating with Clark early in the facility’s construction, Preston Trail created an infrastructure upon which Clark could integrate top-of-the-line audio, video and lighting technology that would meet its current and future needs.
