The Christian Life Assembly (CLA) Church in Langley, British Columbia is a tech-savvy multi-campus congregation that offers both media streaming and podcast downloads of its services from its website. When the church began an extensive upgrade of its facilities last year, a new sound reinforcement system for its 1,500-seat sanctuary was high on its list of priorities. The new system is headed by three EAW KF730 compact line arrays, SB730 compact line array subwoofers and SB1000z large-format subwoofers supporting program…
