RPC Series Remote Control Circuit Breaker Panel Provides Efficient, Easy-to-Install, and Affordable Power Control for the Church’s New LED House, Stage, and Theatrical Lighting System

LENEXA, Kan. Aug. 27, 2019 LynTec, a leading manufacturer of innovative electrical power control solutions for professional audio, video, and lighting (AVL) systems, announced that its award-winning RPC Series remote control circuit breaker panel was specified by AV systems designer e2i Design and successfully installed at Beachcities Church in Huntington Beach, California. The U.S. patented, completely self-contained panel delivers intelligent power control to Beachcities’ new LED house, stage, and theatrical LED fixtures and extends the life of the system.

That’s where e2i’s focus is and another reason why LynTec is a perfect solution for our customers. The LynTec panel made the entire install come to life in a much more cost-effective way than the hours that would have been spent replacing the existing dimmer rack — while gaining incredible control that’s guaranteed to last.”

LINCROFT, NEW JERSEY: St. Leo the Great Church was established in Lincroft, New Jersey over sixty years ago during the area’s suburban boom of the late 1950s. Its beautiful sanctuary seats approximately 800 people but provides tough acoustics for intelligibility, a problem that had previously been dealt unsatisfactorily with several lines of delay loudspeakers. Recently, local AV integration firm Concept Professional Systems designed and installed a beautifully simple new sound reinforcement system at St. Leo the Great Church. Ditching the delays and relying on Danley Sound Labs’ famous pattern control and phase-coherent, long distance throw, the church now enjoys intelligible speech and lively music reinforcement from the front pew to the back pew.

Renkus-Heinz Makes a Night and Day Difference at St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church

Feasterville, PA-July 2019… Sometime around 1730, John Feaster and his wife Rachel migrated from Holland to what is now Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Today, the Pennsylvania Turnpike runs through the community of about 3,600 people, located roughly halfway between Philadelphia and Trenton, that bears Feaster’s name.
A half dozen blocks north of the turnpike, in downtown Feasterville, St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church offers two traditional services each Sunday. Should you attend, you’ll hear every word clearly, thanks to the Renkus-Heinz loudspeaker system that AV contractor Steeple Sound installed in 2018. Your aural experience would have been quite different just a couple of years ago.
“This is the third sound system that the church has had,” recounts Steeple Sound’s Gary Creely, who designed the new Renkus-Heinz-based sound system. “The first system used the older column-style speakers, mounted on the side walls. A little later, they went to a speaker that was really close to the ceiling, so it was exciting all the surfaces up there. You were getting very little direct sound, except for a small portion of the room, and you were hearing all of the reflections off of that large ceiling area.”

DSLR Lens Basics

As houses of worship take their first steps into videography and broadcast, many are looking at DSLR cameras as a potential solution. If this is the route your house of worship is considering, it’s important to also factor in the different type of lenses available.  Determining the best lens for your situation isn’t always easy. Hopefully, this article will help demystify this issue.

The aperture of your lens determines how much light the lens will allow through to the sensor at peak performance. A lot of light allows the camera person to keep shooting in darker conditions without having to worry about the image blurring. Aperture is clearly stated on all lenses as a number and the smaller the aperture number, the more light entering the camera.
