news HATFIELD CHRISTIAN CHURCH by Robbi Nassi (Entertainment Lighting - Technical Sales & Support) The Pretoria-based Hatfield Christian Church is passionate about Christ, about life, and about their community. The church complex has two auditoriums; a junior and senior level school; a restaurant/ coffee shop; and a bookshop. And such is the enormous interest in the Church that they are expanding. When the Main Auditorium got too busy they decided to extend the smaller auditorium (Minor Auditorium) to accommodate more worship groups. Electrosonic SA has enjoyed an on-going relationship with the Church and over the years has assisted in various technical aspects, including the installation of a lighting system for the Minor Auditorium. We completed the installation with ADB Softlux fixtures and Versa-Light LED Parcans. The Church was very happy with our work, and when it came time to upgrade the lighting in Main Auditorium they knew who to call. After numerous demonstrations and proposals by Electrosonic SA the Church went for the Martin Mac Auras, the JEM K1 Hazer, and the world class M2GO Lighting Console. This has transformed the lighting in Main Auditorium into a world-class set-up. Because this house of worship is continually growing, the Church decided to beef up the lighting in Minor Auditorium. Various fixtures were added: Versa-Light LED Parcans, the Mac350, the JEM Compact Hazer and the M2PC lighting controller. This has helped to standardise lighting control in the complex. It was hugely rewarding dealing with such a wonderful, well-established, and well-organised group. Electrosonic SA is very fortunate to have the Hatfield Christian Church as a loyal client. We feel that we too are part of their warm family, and we look forward to continue supplying them with all their lighting requirements. We would like to extend our thanks to Carl Schultz, our liaison at the Church. Carl was a thoroughly professional, and very knowledgeable, partner in the project. We look forward to working with him in the future. Carl Schultz writes: Electrosonic SA provided Hatfield Christian Church a professional service and went the extra mile in understanding the church requirements. We are very pleased with our new systems, which have had a major positive influence on our Sunday experience across all our services. When it came to training up our volunteers we were very blessed by the training provided by Electrosonic SA, who went the extra mile for us. PROMAG – fourth quarter 2013 11
