SOUTHLAKE, TX – Gateway Church, which has three sites in Dallas-Fort Worth, recently replaced its original location with a new 200,000 square-foot facility that seats 4,000. The church leadership opted for a new Meyer Sound system for the replacement church.
The firm that did the install, Acoustic Dimensions, collaborated with Mike Walker of the 709 Agency and Meyer Sound Design Services on the system design.
The configuration starts with three arrays, each with nine MILO loudspeakers, with 14 700-HP subwoofers for low-end support. A total of 54 additional speakers, including MSL-4, CQ-1, UPQ-1P, DF-4, UPJ-1P and UPJunior VariO loudspeakers, round out the system.
A Galileo loudspeaker management system provides drive and signal optimization. All audio and video systems were integrated by Pro Sound and Video under the supervision of Kelly Prince.
"I brought all our engineers, and we played our senior pastor's voice plus all kinds of music," said David Leuschner, Gateway's executive director of technical arts, who played an active role in steering the project. "In the end, Meyer was our consensus choice."
"My long experience with Meyer really sold me on their products," Leuschner added. "In my opinion, their systems have the cleanest sound to the human ear. They can be deceptive, because you can run them loud, but people don't complain about it being too loud because there's no distortion."
