A new 1,400-seat sanctuary for Bonita Valley Community Church (Bonita, CA) is outfitted with a sound reinforcement system headed by RCF loudspeakers that’s designed to meet a variety of contemporary worship needs
“From worship services to special events for our congregation, we needed a system that would accomplish all those different needs,” notes Gabe Terrado, worship director at the church. The new facility also integrates three video walls, motorized trussing, and theatrical lighting comprised of more than six dozen fixtures.
Coppell, TX-based Building God’s Way (BGW) partnered with the church on all design aspects, implementing a main loudspeaker approach with a left-center-right configuration of RCF TTL33-A line array modules.
Further, because the back of the church faces a residential neighborhood, there was concern over sound pressure levels, especially low frequencies emanating from the building. BGW worked with the RCF engineering team to design an end-fire configuration of RCF TTL36-A subwoofers flown behind the center cluster to establish the needed directivity of that low-frequency energy.
“We were familiar with the RCF group’s family of products and especially their line arrays,” explains BGW technology director Jim Martin, who adds that the new system, with installation, commissioning and training by Texas Integration Systems, has achieved the contemporary audio performance the church desired.
BGW implements a charrette process of partnering with the church working with the facility from initial concept to final completion on everything from green-space building design, conceptual collaboration, financing and funding, along with audio/video integration. For the latter, they rely on Texas Systems Integration (Bedford, TX) for project installations, system commissioning and training.
