A few weeks ago we went out to First Baptist Olive Hill and completed a near full AV overhaul. A new Community PA, Ace Backstage floorboxes, Allen&Heath SQ-6 audio console, 2413 stagerack, LEA amps, Blackmagic Design, Marshall PTZ's and more were part of the project! Check out the pics! We even tidied up FOH with a custom desk!

FUMC reached out to us with a simple, yet daunting task: rip it out and start over! Both the sanctuary and basement systems where antiquated, failing, weren't serving the churches needs, and in major need of help. Along with their tech director, Aaron Denney, we came up with a plan to not only get the systems up to today's standards, but communicate with each other, and have the ability to grow with the church!
The sanctuary system consists of the brand new Martin Audio Torus mains, paired with a killer SXCF118 sub, Martin's newest cardioid sub. An iKon 81 powers the main PA, as well as the VUE choir monitors. An LEA 354 amp powers four more Martin Audio Blackline monitors placed around the stage. Also in the stagerack is a gorgeous Allen&Heath ME hub ready to power up to ten ME-1 personal mixers on stage, and a GX4816 stagerack handling all the I/O. Lastly, six Shure QLXD wireless handle all of the handhelds and bodypacks on stage, all networked into Luxul switches for ultimate control. At FOH, an Allen&Heath SQ-6 handles the audio, a Blackmagic ATEM 1 switches, while a Hyperdeck records and a Web Presenter is ready to stream. All of the cameras are Panasonic PTZ's, and each of the sanctuary six TV's are all fed from a Blackmagic 12x12 smart hub for complete routing flexibility. But the best part is the custom made-on-site 16'x7' red oak FOH booth complete with an integrated rack with rear access, and J channeling under the entire length of the desk for beautiful cabling paths. In the basement, another Martin Audio system consisting of CDD6 mains and a SX112 sub rock out the room, ran through an Allen&Heath SQ-5, AB168, complimented with an ME-Hub, ME-1's, Panasonic PTZ's, and Blackmagic switching, recording, and streaming gear. And both systems can send and received audio AND video to each other! Such an awesome setup!

After multiple weeks of pre-recording their service, LBC felt that they just wanted more interaction with their congregation, and decided to take on the project of actually building a streaming studio. One where they could stream live, and if the pastor was up to the task, have Facebook open to where they could see comments in real time and be able to communicate (as much as possible that way) with anyone that had a prayer request or something that wanted to say.
Living Water Church has had a great ministry of feeding their congregation some breakfast on
Sunday mornings before the service. When COVID-19 struck last year that ministry was put to a halt, but the plans to expand that are and beef up other parts of their building to keep up with their ever-growing ministry were not. While making more room was the bulk of the plan, being able to hear and see what happened in the sanctuary and communicate with the building as a whole was also a priority. Here is where JCA Media came into the plan. Central City was in need of a new PA. The requirements were that it be as few cabinets as
possible while giving great coverage, be a clean install that did not obstruct from the architecture of the room, and obviously, be a vast improvement over the system they had. Wyoming Baptist reached out to JCA with the desire to improve not only their online ministry,
but revamp and simplify what they already had in house. They already had a nice console, stagebox, and some other components needed to get their system up and running, but it needed a good cleaning up and some organization. At the start of COVID, Cave City Christian reached out to us like many churches, ready to look into the world of streaming! After discussing the options, they decided the PTZ route was the way to go, but that was only the start. They wanted to make sure that their audio would match the quality of their new video system, but it would need some work to do that. The existing console was not user friendly, the pa had a buzz in it, and the stage was lacking connections to mic all of their instruments to get them into the stream!
Ransdell Chapel on the campus of Campbellsville University is the center of all concert type events held on campus. With that, the need for more low end has grown with today’s type of worship and popular christian artists. The Adamson Metrix PA installed by JCA years ago still has plenty of headroom as far as highs go, but the thump needed a little help. To assist, JCA installed two Danley Sound Labs DBH218 subs, a Danley DNA 20K4 to power them (while allowing room to grow), and a Danley SC48 processor to retune the whole system. The result, enough low end to rattle the can lights from the ceiling. Mission. Accomplished.

We were established to be a company that helps churches reach their goals by providing the RIGHT audio visual technology and at a price that fits their budget. When Grapevine Baptist called and told us or their situation, we were truly heartbroken. To keep it short, they had a new audio system and video system installed less than two years ago, and drew the short end of the stick. JCA was called in to help, and that’s exactly what we did! The previous PA, while a great product, was not the right fit for the room so it was all removed and replaced with a simple and powerful audio system that fit the room and filled every corner. A Martin CDD12 main covered the main floor, while 2 Martin CDD8’s filled the outer edges not caught by the main. Four tiny Martin CDD5 fills were hung to cover to small alcoves in the rear of the sanctuary, and to finish it off, we built a bunker for a Danley THMini15 sub right under the middle of the stage, tucked it in, and surrounded it in insulation to create a nice, warm, punch. ALL of this powered by one Powersoft Ottocanali 8K4. The result was astonishing. Where the audio before skirted over the audiences head, every seat in the house now was beautifully covered, which punch to spare…but we didn’t stop there! One look under the stage and in the crawlspaces were easy evidence that no old wire had ever been removed, and the result was a spaghetti mess of old wire that was no longer being used. We believe in a job done right, so JCA removed ALL of the old wire and installed our new lines, secured beautifully all the way to the new rack location. To finish out the system and give the praise team and AV techs the most simple and efficient system possible, JCA changed out the Aviom system, Yamaha TF5 system, and replaced it with a gorgeous Allen&Heath SQ-7 and ME personal mixing system.
The visual system got an upgrade as well! A new Blackmagic ATEM 1M/E switcher was installed. And Blackmagic Hyperdeck mini gave the ability to record, a web presenter the ability to stream, and a Decklink Duo card gave 4 individual feeds from the new Apple iMac outfitted with Propresenter 7. The front two displays were changed to 85” Samsung Displays, the rear confidence display to a 75”, and four new 43” displays were hung in the rear for the alcoves! And because we don’t believe in waste, the previous 65” confidence display was rehung out front for an announcement screen that could now be fed from ProPresenter! By the time we were done, they were ready for anything!

When the current sanctuary was built, JCA Media installed the new (at the time) Allen&Heath iLive T112 and IDR48 mixrack. Since its installation, the channel count and required outputs needed have gown tremendously, and the iLive has began to show its age. In a new era where broadcast mixes are just as important as house mixes, FCC was looking to revamp their online audio and to do that channels needed to be shared from the iLive. Because of its limited architecture and not dated OS, the time to upgrade was now. To take it’s place, JCA Media installed a new dLive S5000 console, DM64 Stagerack to handle all inputs from stage, and a DX168 and DX012 to handle all wireless and IEM’s at FOH. For broadcast, an SQ-7 took the job, and is connected to the dLive via Dante to share channels for both mixes, as well as provide the ability to record and perform virtual soundcheck. Now, the possibilities are endless.
