AMT Systems designed and installed an audio and video projection system to meet the needs of this growing congregation and the on-campus West Coast Baptist College. The systems provides support for the various musical demands of the weekly worship service including a 100+ voice choir, a 20 piece orchestra, and a variety of smaller ensembles and soloists. The facility is also used for daily Chapel services and as a large classroom lecture venue.
The heart of the system is a new Yamaha M7CL-48 channel digital mixing console which provides the system operators the flexibility to save and instantly recall complete operational settings through memory presets on the console.
AMT designed the speaker system to provide a spacious sound for the choir and orchestra while maintaining excellent speech intelligibility for the spoken word. The speaker complement includes full range cabinets in left center and right clusters, delay speakers for the balcony seating, and as under-balcony fills.
AMT also designed and installed a dual-screen rear projection video display with 18-foot wide screens flanking the platform and used for graphics, imag and motion video presentations.
After the initial installation was complete, AMT worked very closely with Lancaster Baptist in designing a complete acoustic paneling system throughout the sanctuary. Through careful selection of material, shapes and colors, AMT installed a system that not only had a dramatic impact on the acoustics of the room, it also had the aesthetic impact of reducing the feeling of “size” in the room and helped create a greater sense of intimacy.
