MARANATHA CHAPEL
Sound Image is proudly involve in the audio video and control system installation and upgrades for Maranatha Chapel. Sound Images's started servicing the Maranatha Chapel AV systems more than eight years ago.
1994 : Phase 1
 Maranatha Chapel's Chief Audio Engineer, Scott Fannon made contact with Sound Image in 1994. The request was to design-build a custom left|center|right audio system and subs with very critical audio performance in mind. The first generation Sound Image/Audio Composite Engineering G2 loudspeakers fit the bill perfectly. The existing Maranatha Chapel front-of-house equipment were nicely integrated with the new audio system.
The equipment list included:
- Symetrix processing
- QSC EX 2500 amplifiers
- QSC EX 4000 amplifiers
- Left|Center|Right Sound Image G2 loudspeakers
- Custom Whirlwind audio microphone split and cabling
1997 : Phase 2
In 1997, under the dynamic leadership of Pastor Ray Bentley, Maranatha Chapel broke ground for a brand new sanctuary. Sound Image was contracted to disassemble the audio equipment in the Black Mountain Sanctuary, and to reinstall the system. Substantial upgrade additions were added to the overall system.
The equipment list included:
- QSC EX 1250 amplifiers
- QSC EX 2500 amplifiers
- QSC EX 4000 amplifiers
- Sound Image G4 Sound Image L/R Double 15" and horn loudspeakers
- Sound Image G2 single 12" carbon fiber loudspeakers
- Sound Image custom 4x18 sub loudspeakers with ELF processing
- Mackie 40x8 Console
- Peavey Media Matrix Mini 208
- MM 8840 Peavey Break-out boxes
- Gentner Versa Patch
- Mystery BB 3000 stage floor pockets
- Custom Sound Image/Whirlwind audio microphone split and cabling
1997 : Phase 3
 Because of budgetary reasons, certain areas within the sanctuary were still not adequately covered by the audio system after the original installation was complete. Later on during 1997, Sound Image corrected the situation with custom integrated side and front fill loudspeaker systems.
The equipment list included:
- QSC EX 800
- Sound Image custom double 10" loudspeakers (Side Fills)
- Sound Image custom single 10"loudspeakers (Front fills)
1999 : Phase 4
In 1999, Maranatha Chapel added a dual pair of Neumann KM150 podium microphones for Pastor Ray. The microphones made pristine pick-up of all the nuances of the sermons possible. Acoustical treatment on the side and rear walls of the sanctuary, made a marked difference to the acoustical environment, and contributed overall to the audio quality. Maranatha started streaming audio of the sermons live to the internet.
2000 : Phase 5
 Chief Audio Engineer Scott Fannon decided in 2000 to upgrade the Mackie console with a Yamaha M3000 40 channel board. The old Mackie console no longer met the expanding artistic requirements of the congregation. Several of the old stage audio monitors were also upgraded to EAW 122E models.
2001 : Phase 6
In 2001, the funds become available for adding a dual projector video projection system, multiple remote controllable video cameras, and a video editing suite to the sanctuary. The system facilitates streaming video messages to the internet, and also assists in digitally archiving the worship messages. The equipment list included:
