Martin Audio CDD installed at Kentucky Church

First Christian Church in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, recently called in JCA Media for the latest upgrade to its campus. Having already completed several installation projects for the congregation in the past, JCA was on-hand to deliver a Martin Audio main PA system and ceiling speaker installation for the church’s worship areas, classrooms and children’s play areas.

JCA installed three Martin Audio CDD10s as LCR speakers alongside a pair of SX112 subs flown above the stage. Because the Church didn’t want anyone, particularly children, to be near any of the cables, the decision was made to fly the PA above the stage. The black ceiling blended in with the all black PA system.

“The ability to blend into the background is so important for church projects as you don’t want to take the attention away from the congregation’s experience”, comments Alex Peake, Integration Specialist at JCA Media. “This also meant that while the PA was hidden, the visuals were able to take over. There are four laser projectors - two of them environmental and two of them for the lyrics and content and then some lighting effects for the kids’ area.”

Away from the main worship space, the integrator used a single CDD12 to cover another worship area and a pair of CDD6s for the children’s play area. In addition to this, the Martin Audio Ceiling Series was chosen for the Kentucky Church. Fitted with a high specification transformer, the series is able to be used in either a 70 V or 100 V operation via a front mounted rotary switch - providing a simplified installation process for the JCA team.

To cope with emergency situations, JCA also connected the system to a mic at front-of-house so the whole wing would duck to that channel when an announcement needed to be made. “If you needed to make an emergency announcement across all the rooms, even if one was playing music or another had a movie playing, it would stop everything and make the announcement the priority”, says Peake.
