Vance Breshears and Kelly Dunlop of El Cajon, California-based Sound Technology Consultants were the A/V and lighting design consultants for the project, and the A/V installation contractor was David Hairel and a team from Hairel Enterprises of Conroe, Texas. The church's team included music director Jeremi Carnes and mix engineer Jose Barni. Other key individuals included Bruce Green from Irvine, California-based Visioneering Studios who served as design architect for the new facility, and Kirk Guillory from Columbia, Maryland-based Waldon Studio who was the project architect.
EAW products selected for the system included AX364 Arrayable Install Loudspeakers, MK8196 Loudspeakers and AX122 subwoofers. The system is configured in a multi-channel LCR array, where all three primary sources and their delay elements provide coverage to all seating areas. Vance Breshears explained the choice of speakers, stating: "The AX products provide a good blend of pattern control, output and sound quality at a very reasonable cost. The MK8196 units were used for downfill and delay speakers. With the asymmetrical layout of the room, it took a combination of primary coverage, delay and fill speakers to get coverage to all seating areas."
Jeremi Carnes stated: "The new system and EAW speakers really enhance our worship experience. Sound Technology Consultants and Hairel Enterprises have done a fantastic job in both design and installation. We so appreciate and have benefited from their attention to detail."
