Christian Church Dayton OH
Located just south of Dayton, Ohio, in the community of Miamisburg, this Christian Church each week brings a message of hope and light to their community. Faced with bursting attendance in two campuses running a combined six services each weekend, they chose to consolidate their congregation into one new campus.
ICB Audio and Video was chosen in a selective bid process to install a sound and video system at this Christian Church’s new facility. Some owner-furnished audio and video equipment was relocated to the smaller theater and youth rooms, while an entirely new system was installed in the main sanctuary. The new sanctuary system included a Meyer M’elodie line array system with Meyer Galileo processing, a Yamaha M7CL mixing console, and a Clear-Com Cellcom wireless intercom system. The new video system included several remote-controlled cameras with AMX control. The result is a full-scale production facility to fit the high-tech needs of contemporary worship services, as well as the needs of a wide variety of outside groups and conferences.
