Elevate Church Picks K.M.E PANO System for Heavenly Sound

Professional Audio Technology Pty Ltd (PAT) has delivered the first K.M.E. PANO line array public address system in Australia to the Elevate Church in Wendouree, Victoria. Various PA manufacturers were compared based on sound quality, manufacturing quality and price-performance ratio by Elevate Church with K.M.E. coming out on top.

Elevate Church prides itself on its musical performances and audio visual displays during services and it was vital to cater to the high quality audio demands on and off the stage. The church, which can hold up to 300 worshipers during a service, was equipped with Line Array subs QLB118, Line Source Units QL1215 PANO and Versio VL12 as monitors. The digital controller amplifiers DA 428 with extensive DSP functionality drive the entire system.

Professional Audio Technology’s Technology Director Tony Fitzsimmons was at the venue during the first soundcheck with the new K.M.E. system: “We are extremely satisfied with the performance and clarity of the new system and, what is equally important,  the client is very happy with their buying decision. We recommended the PANO system to Elevate Church because they wanted to have a solution which would not only satisfy the sound quality requirements, but is also small in size with enough SPL to provide the sound engineer with enough headroom during the service.

The K.M.E. Preset Editor Software  & Wizard delivered a good suppport during the setup of the digital amplifiers. PAT recommended a line array system as it is a future proofed solution providing the highest quality sound and an even sound dispersion.

Before making the recommendation to Elevate, PAT met with the client, discussed their needs, analysed the acoustic characteristics of the room and took into account what the system would be used for.

Currently still run in ground stack mode, the system will be flown in the near future to reduce the visual impact on the stage.

When asked about the new K.M.E. system and the assistance by Professional Audio Technology, Elevate’s Pastor Scott Fellows commented:  "We are extremely happy with the K.M.E. product and the customer service provided by Professional Audio Technology. The sound quality and the build quality are exceptional."
