Greenbusch provided acoustical and audio system design for this new 600 seat sanctuary. Located on the west side of Puget Sound, the audio system was designed to meet the needs of worship services as well musical performances. The system uses a combination of the finest audio components available for use in installed and touring sound, while still providing a cost effective system. Greenbusch worked directly with the owner and the General Contractor in selecting an Audio Contractor, as well as overseeing the administration of the audio system contractual obligations. This ensured that the owner received the most system for their targeted budget. The completed system is one of the finest high-end sound reinforcement systems on the peninsula. The system features a 40-input mixing console, digital delay and effects processing, and a complete complement of processing including gates and compressors/limiters. A variety of wired and wireless microphone systems were provided as well. Floor monitors and stand/in-ear, self mixed monitor systems were designed. The main system processing was accomplished by utilizing a state of the art digital processor, which allows precise control of speaker time-alignment, equalization, and limiting. The system is capable of producing over 6,000 watts during a normal program, with peaks of more than 10,000 watts. Three speaker systems, with three-way actively crossed-over drivers, allow for precise pattern control of the components. In conjunction with the architectural and acoustical design of the room, these systems resulted in just the right balance of reverberation for a "concert" level musical production, while still allowing the highest intelligibility of the spoken word.

In part, because of the Greenbusch approach to integrated acoustics and audio, the Christian Life Center was able to realize the goal of having a state of the art sound system and sanctuary, while saving almost $100,000.00 over a previous design proposal.
