CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — Ransdell Chapel, the heart of Campbellsville University in Kentucky, has installed an iLive-144 at the FOH position. A 900-seat facility, the Ransdell Chapel provides the Christ-centered educational focus for the University and is used for various types of events, including student orientation, bi-weekly student body worship sessions, annual Pastor’s conference, worship arts conference, theatrical performances, symphonies and full band concerts.
“Completed and dedicated in April of 2007, the new Ransdell Chapel is in constant use and every program is different from day to day,” explains Doug Price, the A/V coordinator for the University. “Often, they will have multiple events in a single day. They needed a system with easy channel and output configuration, total recall, and flexible routing. The iLive-144 was the perfect solution for Ransdell. The mix rack lives at the stage, integrates directly with their Aviom system with the iLive’s Aviom card, and connects to the mixing surface with two CAT5 cables.”
“Also, it goes without saying,” continues Price, “that a number of folks with different experience levels would be mixing, so the iLive’s administrative “lock-out” features and its overall ease of use made the decision easy for the Ransdell Chapel.”
The iLive is configured with 48 inputs, 16 outputs and the Aviom card in the iDR-10 Mix Rack and a further 16 inputs and 8 outputs in the control surface to handle wireless mics, CD players, DVD players and computers for playback and recording. Scene recall is heavily used to switch between the various types of events and administrative passwords and security levels are implemented to manage the different mixing engineers. DCAs and Matrix outputs are configured to feed the lobby, choir room, monitor feeds and record decks.
“The iLive sounds amazing, and we found that the channel strip and onboard processing for the inputs and outputs really took our performances and events to the next level,” Price said. “Once everyone got their hands on the iLive, we realized it was the right choice.”
