Get It In Writing

MANHATTAN, KS – First Assembly of God Church recently renovated their sanctuary with design and installation services provided by MSM Systems (Lawrence, KS). The church makeover included complete audio, video, lighting and acoustic systems.
According
to Worship Pastor JD Washington, the old system had multiple components that
were aged, had been poorly installed, were damaged, or were simply
inadequate. In short, our AVL systems had become a liability in our
attempts to connect people to God and one another through our worship
experience. Now every event in our Sanctuary runs much smoother.

MSM
was selected for the project through an extensive interview process with five
other firms. They worked closely with the church committee for nearly one
year, providing CAD renderings and demonstrations to determine the final
design.

The
First Assembly of God's new system includes three NEXO PS15 speakers, two NEXO
LS1200, one NEXO NXAmp and a Yamaha LS9-32 digital audio console with Aviom
Expansion card.

Our
NEXO speakers sound incredible, even better than we expected, and they look
great, said Pastor Washington. Even our acoustic panels have added to the
overall feel of our sanctuary; our room looks and sounds top-notch.

The
old console had several intermittent problems that the church found
frustrating so it needed to be replaced, said Kent Clasen, president, MSM
Systems. One of the benefits of installing a Yamaha LS9-32 digital console is
the ability to recall presets by the volunteer operators that we helped to
create. Expansion card slots for the Aviom IEM system was also very important.
The console is very reliable and Yamaha support is excellent, which is very
important to our customers and my company.

An
HD projection screen with two LCD displays, video switcher/scaler with HDMI
distribution, wired and wireless IEM monitor system, LED Lighting System, house
dimming and ETC control, and custom acoustic wall panels round out
the new system.

We
could not have asked for a better team to work with, says Pastor Washington.
The MSM team was a group of intelligent, well versed, and well-trained guys who
have weekly hands-on experience in making a Sunday morning service ‘flow' well.
They went above and beyond what we could have asked, and we obtained the exact
results we wanted when we started the upgrade process. We truly could not
be happier with the end result.
