Christian City Church Whitehorse Opens New Vermont C3 Centre

Christian City Church Whitehorse recently opened it’s new home in Vermont, Victoria. The new 1000 seat auditorium has been fitted out with a new sound reinforcement system by Mozaix, a boutique AV systems integrator. The system was designed by Paul Horwood of Mozaix with review and loudspeaker selection assistance from Graeme Stevenson of Production Audio Services. After numerous meetings with the AV team at the Church , the space was modelled with EASE prediction software to ensure the final outcome would meet the clients expectations. The system design utilises EAW Loudspeakers, XTA processing, Powersoft amplification and an APB Dynasonics audio mixing console.

The loudspeaker system is based around a flown stereo configuration, each cluster consisting of 2 x AS460e Mid/High modules either side of a single AS422e Low Frequency module and an MK8196e mounted under each cluster for down fill. 6 x VR61 stage lip loudspeakers support the flown clusters and 2 x FR250z subwoofers take care of low frequency duties. 4 x MK2194e loudspeakers will be introduced for balcony delay when stage two is implemented.

XTA DP6i Digital Loudspeaker processors take care of crossover, alignment, equalisation and limiting duties for the system. The DP6i’s feed signals into a combination of Powersoft 7000, Q4004 and LQ2804 amplifiers. The use of Powersoft amplifiers for this project has meant power consumption and heat are significantly reduced due to the Class D amplifier design and equipment racking space has been significantly reduced over conventional amplifiers.

In a first for Australia, the recently released APB Dynasonics Spectra console has found a home in this project. The 48 mono, 4 stereo input, VCA console was selected for it’s feature set, build quality and price point that allowed the Church to have a functional feature set that was considered out of reach at the start of the project.

“This project has been a pleasure to be involved in, from early discussions with the Church and Production Audio Services to the final fit out” stated Paul Horwood, adding “Comprehensive meetings with the Church meant we could balance all the pressures of performance, budget and construction to deliver an outcome that has exceeded the Church ’s expectation. We’re all pretty pumped”

With stage one of the main auditorium now completed, implementation of stage two, audio to the balcony seating is in progress.
