Kingwood Church, located in Alabaster, AL, is a hub for local ministry and global missions, serving thousands weekly in person and online. Despite their commitment to excellence, their audiovisual systems had not been updated in decades, resulting in a deteriorating sound system and house lighting where most fixtures were no longer operational.
Initially, Kingwood contacted us to enhance their broadcast and streaming capabilities, but it became clear that a larger overhaul was needed. Their aging sound system struggled to meet the demands of modern worship, and failing house lights were impacting both in-person and online experiences. We developed a comprehensive solution to elevate their AV systems to their standard of excellence.
For audio, we deployed a rider-ready LCR system featuring dB Technologies’ Vio X-Series. The setup included X206 arrays, S115 subs in the main hangs, and the articulate Vio 310 at center. X205 fills were placed strategically to ensure consistent, clear sound throughout the 1000-seat sanctuary, including difficult areas like the balcony and wings. S218 subwoofers beneath the stage provided robust low-end support, delivering powerful, controlled audio for events of any scale. The entire audio overhaul was completed in just three days, without disrupting the church’s busy schedule.
To address the lighting challenges, we replaced the outdated house system with energy-efficient, zone-controllable full-color LED fixtures, drastically reducing power consumption and re-illuminating darkened areas. We also revamped their stage lighting, adding a small number of utility fixtures from ADJ Pro and reorganizing what they already had to create a more dynamic, visually compelling online broadcast at minimal cost. Finally, we turned our attention to their streaming mix suite. By upgrading their monitoring system with the latest from Focal and Heritage Audio, retooling their DAW templates, and spending several weeks hands-on with their engineers dialing everything in, Kingwood Church is now able to confidently provide a seamless, high-quality worship experience—whether you’re in the room or watching from home.
