Woodside Bible Church’s Newest Campus Opens

In Install Newsby admin

20130120-111628-1From modest beginnings, Woodside Bible Church has grown to become a cornerstone of the metropolitan Detroit community, with twelve campuses serving Southeastern Michigan’s Contemporary Christian population.

Woodside’s Lake Orion campus was originally founded in 2009 as a portable church, operating out of an area middle school. Recently, the church acquired a new building for the Lake Orion campus to call home, outfitting the space with a Renkus-Heinz VARIAi variable array loudspeaker system. As Bob Sullivan, Principal of Advanced Lighting and Sound in Troy, MI, explains, the 85,000 square foot former retail store was an unusual and challenging space.

“Because it was a former retail space, there were a number of structural changes that needed to be made,” Sullivan begins. “There were issues with bringing power and other infrastructure up to code, as well as a need to accommodate an existing set of escalators between floors.”

Roland XS-84H 8-Input AV Matrix Switcher Is Perfect for the New First Southern Baptist Church Building in Pratt, Kansas

In Web Articlesby admin

FirstSouthern_Photo1The First Southern Baptist Church in Pratt, Kansas, had the kind of problems that most churches wish they had: they were growing fast and had reached the point where they needed additional services each weekend to accommodate the nearly 800 people in the congregation. Its physical plant could not keep up. Enter Builders for Christ, a non-profit that gathers volunteers to construct church buildings for needy congregations at no cost. Last year, the organization constructed a new building for the First Southern Baptist Church, one that far better accommodates their growing flock. Thanks to Advanced Sound & Communication, a Kansas City-based AV company, they now also have a state-of-the-art media center for their AV needs that includes a new projection system with wraparound screens, five projectors, three Apple iMac computers, PTZ-networked cameras, and an entirely new PA system including speakers, consoles and wireless microphones. At the heart of that video system upgrade is the Roland XS-84H 8-In x 4-Out Multi-Format AV Matrix Switcher, part of the new Roland XS Series line of Multi-Format Matrix Switchers designed for fixed installations requiring high-quality integrated video and audio conversion and switching. The XS-84H is a single-unit solution for total control of video and audio that is flexible enough to meet the diverse needs of classrooms, conference rooms, live presentations and houses of worship.
