Outline Audio Upgrade at Vine Christian Centre

When Vine Christian Centre decided to upgrade the audio system in their main venue, they turned to local integrator Spartan AV, who installed a high-quality solution in conjunction with their supportive technical distributor, CUK Audio.

The previous audio system had been in use for over twenty years, with recent temporary repairs made to prolong its life. Fundamentally, though, the system did not provide adequate coverage in a venue three times as wide as it is deep. Stand-mounted speakers had been added to improve coverage, at the expense of blocking site lines.

Sean Hales, Spartan AV Operations Director, takes up the story. “The client was initially fairly set on a flown line-array system; however, after my initial site visit, I deemed that a correctly designed point-source system was the right way to tackle this project. Another consideration was loading on structural points in the roof, making a careful design necessary.”

With an accurate floor plan and other details garnered from this site survey, distributor CUK Audio was tasked with providing design assistance.

The church required a system capable of full-range musical performance at moderate SPL levels with an emphasis on high-quality audio. Vine CC’s silent stage, with DI’d instruments, an electronic drum kit, and use of in-ear monitors, eliminates audio spill from the stage but, as a consequence, places the entire burden of audio reproduction on the main PA system. The design approach taken was therefore similar to that of a live performance venue, optimised for a modern worship band and speech intelligibility.
