New Audio-Visual System Installed and Dedicated
On Sunday, November 29, 2009, Salem Baptist Church dedicated its new audio/visual system just in time to be online for the Christmas season programs and cantata. Installed last week by Albemarle Sound and Security, Inc, of Edenton, the new system features two projection systems and screens (forward and rear of the sanctuary), two 24000 watt amplifiers, speakers, and monitors, as well as a 24 channel sound board. The system also includes three wireless microphones, as well as 2 overhead choir and three wired conventional microphones. The system has other capabilities than the old one including a split track stereo system and many other features.
Currently the church has reached $14,000 of its $20,000 goal- but there are other items that need to be purchased and installed. A special training instruction time is currently being set up to train the audio/visual committee on how to properly operate the equipment.
We commend chairman Jason Fletcher, and committee members AJ Sowers, Dan Carr, Todd Bright, Al Wood, and Jeff Ford and Ronnie Jennings of the Buildings and Grounds Committee for the excellent job of planning, fund-raising, and doing the preliminary installation work. This system has taken nearly two years to plan and to complete and we give glory to God for it.
