OUR PLAN FOR UNI HILL CHURCH

The aspiration of Uni Hill Church, Bundoora was to bring to life a large-scale space suitable for the delivery of contemporary style worship services, with a building interior exuding a fresh, modern ambience. The church envisaged a facility that would not only be enjoyed by parishioners but one that would also benefit the entire community by providing a venue for meetings, functions, and corporate or personal gatherings.

MultiTek Solutions was engaged alongside Clarke Hopkins Clarke Architects, Marshall Day Acoustics and construction company Corplex, along with various other sub trades to oversee all performance, audio, stage lighting and video systems required for the complex.

With an auditorium capable of housing 350 to 450 people, the church required a durable and high performance sound system that delivered excellent coverage and control. The choice was made to design the AV system around a state of the art, high output, EAW QX series system.

A modern and functional lighting system was also sought to enhance the ambience of the contemporary build, it would also be instrumental in providing a better congregational experience.

Imperative to the technical installation was the customisation and design of equipment that allowed for seamless and accessible use by both volunteers and professional operators alike. The design of the AV system also needed to be technically adaptive to any future upgrades.

Congregational singing, worship presentation and contemporary band church music were important elements factored into the dynamics of the AV system. The aim was to achieve crisp and clean sound delivery and clear production visuals. The package that MultiTek Solutions was able to provide covered all these areas.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENT

Designing the AV system to meet the church’s current and future needs was high priority. The GLD80 mixing console was selected as the centerpiece of the church’s new system. It was the obvious choice and foremost fit for Uni Hill’s diversified AV requirements, as it’s scalable by up to 48 channels and 20 outputs. The GLD 80’s built in compressor and effects are easy to learn with some high quality audio components capable of delivering sonic excellence and providing a high degree of control on all processing functions.

For lighting control, MultiTek supplied the church with the new LSC Mantra, a wise choice and perfect fit for the facility whilst LSC dimmers and DMX distribution provided the back end lighting infrastructure.
