Gibson City Bible Church
Gibson City, Illinois
This congregation has moved to their
new facilities on the edge of time. It is a very comfortable sized,
400 seat multipurpose gymnasium. The permanent stage is built into
the long side of the room. All parts of the system are new.
PJ Hoerr the general contractor built a
design prepared by AR&D of Peoria, Illinois. IRC Audio of
Indianapolis, Indiana built the system designed by Jordan Audio Consultants.
The system has a three box, two way
speakers. The center box is slightly oversized and uses dual 15"
woofers. The budget would not allow for a separate sub woofer
system, so we reinforced the low end in the main cluster to insure
that there is plenty of low frequency energy in the room.
The system is a big step from
their 8 channel powered mixer in the previous building, but then again the
worship space is over four times larger too. The amp rack contains
Crown CTs amplifiers with a total of 3200 watt of potential power. The dbx
driverack provides processing for mains and 3 monitor systems.
A twenty four channel mixing
console controls the main mix, two floor monitor system, an
overhead choir monitor system, extension speakers, radio and
recording feeds, and wireless hearing assistance.
The control booth is in an upstairs technician's
room, out of the way of flying balls. It also holds the video and lighting
equipment. An additional speaker is positioned just outside the
booth so the sound technician can hear the same sound as the audience on the
floor. All the speakers are custom built boxes from Concert Systems
LLC of South Bend, Indiana. The center box contains dual 15"
woofers and a 2" throat horn and driver. The two side fills and the
tech speaker all contain a single 12" woofer and the same 2" throat
horn and driver. The floor monitors and overhead choir monitors are
also from Concert Systems LLC. They all utilize coaxial drivers of either
12" or 10" diameter.
