After two and a half years of planning and trials, a Nexo Geo T line array has been commissioned in one of the largest churches in Latin America, the 14,000-seat Centro Familiar de Adoración in the city of Asunción, Paraguay.
The large building accommodates most of its congregation on the main floor, but also has two balconies, the largest of which is 70 meters from the stage. The left/right main PA system uses 12-module hangs of Geo T loudspeaker cabinets, flown with six Geo Subs each side, and is designed to cover the whole congregation.
Eight PS10s and two PS15 loudspeakers powered by five Nexo Nx amps are used as stage monitors, providing 10 mixes in all.
Both front-of-house and monitor consoles are iLive desks from Allen & Heath.
The system is run on an EtherSound network, using both Cat5 and optical fiber routing, and can be controlled at six independent points in the venue.
While they enjoy their success, plans are already under way to knock down a wall and expand the sanctuary's capacity to 30,000.
