The worship sanctuary at Gloria de Cristo Lutheran Church in Yuma, AZ, was recently equipped with a sound reinforcement system upgrade by AV integration firm CCI Solutions to support live music and the spoken word that incorporates LEA Professional Connect Series power amplifiers.
Located near U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, a large portion of Gloria de Cristo’s congregation is made up of local churchgoers, but there is also a community of virtual attendees from around the world. “The church came to me intending to incorporate a sound system that was a couple of decades old and then solve the reverberation issues preventing clear audio,” says CCI systems consultant Mike Robertson. “With a strong military audience, we wanted to ensure everyone could stay connected with the church via web streams that were easy to hear and understand. It was important to offer that accessibility to all.”
Robertson assessed Gloria de Cristo’s needs and specified a Connect Series 1504 four-channel amplifier to drive loudspeakers in the nave and a Connect Series 352 two-channel model to do the same in the fellowship hall. “One of the coolest things about LEA Professional’s technology is the all-in-one capabilities,” Robertson notes. “We were able to put everything on the CS1504 in the nave and everything on the CS352 in the fellowship hall. Everything is easy to integrate and operate, which can be a game changer for churches that don’t have tech support on site.”
“Ensuring the best possible audio experience for every guest is paramount,” adds Scott Robins, VP of sales at LEA Professional. “Our Connect Series amplifiers have elevated the church’s AV offerings, so every member can focus on the service instead of the outdated audio system.”
