Installation Complete at The People’s Church, Spring Hill, TN

Thursday, November 4, 2010 by Ben Christy

Choosing to renovate a vacated Kroger grocery store in Spring Hill, TN, The People’s Church (a prominent Southern Baptist Congregation and Willow Creek Association Member led by Senior Pastor Rick White) asked CTS Audio to create a state-of-the-art worship facility in their new worship center.  The new Spring Hill campus is the first plant for The People’s Church, Franklin, TN and is led by campus pastor, Brandon Porter. The Sunday message is delivered via video recorded at the 9:00 am service at the Franklin Campus and then played back at 11:00am for the Spring Hill congregation. Since the video playback is such a critical part of the service for the new campus, CTS installed a Christie WU12K-M 10000 lumen 1920×1200 DLP projector on a 20.5’ x 11.5’ screen for Sermon Playback which is transported using Fast Forward Video (FFV) Micron HD Hard Drive Recorder/Player.  To ensure crystal clear recording of the sermon, a Panasonic AG HPX370 Camera was integrated into the video system set-up at the Franklin campus.

With a capacity of over 1000 seats, CTS Audio outfitted the worship center with NEXO GEO S12 line arrays and NEXO RS15 subwoofers.  Utilizing the church’s existing Aviom system, the CTS install team set up a monitoring package integrating Shure wireless mics (6 channels of ULXP with Antenna Splitters) and Sennheiser IEM’s (2 channels with Antenna Combiners). A Crestron Control system was set up to control the projector system and screen using an iPad station.

When asked about the installation, Brandon Porter commented, “We are extremely pleased and blessed to have worked with CTS Audio. They bent over backwards to work with us through every step of our process. We feel confident that we have absolutely the best audio-video system and installation for the absolute best price that we could have possibly gotten. On top of all of that, we really like these guys! We would definitely work with them again.”
