Designed and installed by
Encore Broadcast Solutions of Winter Springs, Florida, the audio & video install is in phase one of what will ultimately be a 250,000-sq. ft. facility. Peter Young, Executive Pastor at Church of Hope, was so impressed by demos he heard at a Florida Bosch Communications Systems House of Worship expo last year (hosted by reps Sales Force and Associates) that he contacted Encore to provide a full spec of EV, Dynacord and Klark Teknik sound solutions for the new space.
The main room system is comprised of EV Xi loudspeakers powered by CP-series amplifiers; the entire complex (Life Center, Studio, Outside, Chapel) features a wide range of products including ZX-series loudspeakers, EV wired and wireless microphones, EV Dx38 and NetMax system controllers, and much, much more.
“We’ve had a long working relationship with Pastor Young and the Church of Hope in their old building, so it’s great to be part of making their vision for a much larger space come to fruition with the best sound reinforcement and video available,” reports Jeff Cameron of Encore. “Pastor Young was also impressed with the people behind the products: Monte Wise and Jim Pfitzinger (of Bosch Communications Systems) thoroughly answered all his questions at the demo last year, so we set off on the right foot with a solid mutual understanding regarding requirements and equipment, along with the assurance that there would be a high level of manufacturer support before, during and after the actual purchase. The Bosch Communications Systems team then helped us fine-tune this large complete system design, helping balance the church’s needs with their budget.”
NetMax–certified Ricky Johnson of Pro Audio Solutions was subcontracted to program the NetMax N8000 systems at Church of Hope, providing onsite and remote-control DSP and system supervision. Johnson can even log on and make adjustments from his Orlando office if necessary. “This is phase one of a six-phase development; because NetMax is uniquely flexible and expandable as a matrix management system and DSP processor, it can grow with the church as their facility gets larger and as their system zones and equipment requirements change,” Johnson says. “In terms of handling multiple tasks simultaneously, NetMax leaves other systems in the dust. To meet their budget requirements at this stage, we installed one N8000 controller as a DSP processing hub for all the various zones and tri-amped speakers, subs, etc., and another to fully remote-control the zones, running seven inputs and outputs.
“Both N8000 units are controlled via a wireless access point,” Johnson adds, “so I can be anywhere in the church, talking to them on my laptop. We have a wide range of speakers installed, and each needs different EQ adjustments for optimal performance. I can stand in the corridor under a recessed EVID ceiling speaker or I can listen to the ZX1is mounted outside, access the N8000 via wireless, and hear my adjustments right there in real time. NetMax is an incredible system, and a beautiful way to streamline the operation of a large installation like this.”
