Crossing to Plant City

The Crossing Church in Tampa, Florida recently opened its third campus. The new mobile sanctuary is based in Plant City, 25 miles east of Tampa, and has been equipped with a Meyer Sound speaker system and Yamaha control courtesy of faith-based systems integrator MABE.

The Crossing Church shares its Plant City location with MadZone Jump House, a kids’ activity centre. Equipment such as screens, projectors, lighting and the PA has all been permanently installed. However, almost everything is portable so that it can be stowed away when needed.

MABE paired Meyer Sound Ultra-X42 point source speakers with 750-LFC subs on MCF-750 rolling carts to ensure portability. A Yamaha CL1 compact digital mixing console was provided for front of house, which can also be removed for storage inside a rolling case. The CL1 gives the church 48 mono and eight stereo mixable channels alongside 16 channel faders and two master faders for control. Acoustic panels were also placed around the room to help with intelligibility.
