TULSA, OK — The term “mega church” is particulary apt for the 12,000-member Church on the Move, based here. At services, the church’s message is delivered on a scale that rivals major rock concerts, with a sanctuary that’s bigger than many top music venues. The services also rely upon an array of audio gear from Harman.

Since 2010 Church On the Move has enjoyed the sonic benefits of a large-scale JBL, Crown and BSS Audio sound system, comprising 38 JBL VerTec line array element hung in four clusters and complemented by 16 JBL ASB6128V subwoofers, 10 flown and six under the stage. Seven JBL AC28/95 speakers behind the perimeter of the stage provide front fill and the speakers are powered by 49 Crown MA5000i and 10 CTs 3000 and CTs 2000 amplifiers. The speakers and amps in the sanctuary and other JBL speakers and Crown amps throughout the church are linked by BSS Soundweb London BLU-160 digital audio processors, and all A/V is networked using Harman HiQnet System Architect software.
“We recently had a conference with 2,500 worship and creative directors from around the country, and have held many major events and big services,” said Andrew Stone, Church on the Move’s production manager and audio director. “Many people came just to hear the JBL VerTecs because of everything they’d heard about them, and that says a lot. Like the Martin lighting, the audio system has performed admirably.”
