“The d&b 24S is a great box and it’s flexible, so we were able to use it this way to achieve optimum coverage of this wide space.” The sound system is rounded out with four d&b 12S speakers flown from a yoke and installed as delays in the room, eight 8S speakers across the lip of the stage used as front fills, and nine floor-mounted d&b 21S subs, which add a visceral kick to Five14’s music. “Some system designers tend to default to line arrays for almost any space, but we could see that that wasn’t going to work here,” Robertson explains.

Jonathan Robertson, Clark’s Project Engineer on the project, and Ed Crippen, the integrator’s audio specialist, collaborated on a unique system design in which four hangs of two d&b audiotechnik 24S speakers were rotated horizontally and rigged via a customized bracket.

For instance, the new auditorium seats about 700 in a wide fan-shaped configuration with a relatively low ceiling, which is always a challenge for accurate and consistent sound-system coverage. Such a fundamental change required additional fundraising, but it also enabled Five14 Church to maintain the level of performance excellence that has made it a leader in its style of worship while being conscious of the surrounding community and local ordinances.Īnd that kind of application of Clark’s significant expertise and experience characterized the rest of the project. “We saw that there was a residential neighborhood just beyond a few rows of parking on one side, and we suggested they check the local noise ordinances, which could have really impacted them,” says Bowling. “Clark had the benefit of being brought in on the project at the very beginning, during the planning and design phase,” recalls Clark Project Manager Tysen Bowling, referencing how the Clark team helped steer the original construction concept away from a planned metal building to a concrete-walled design, to better contain the sonic energy of the dynamic, vibrant live music that Five14 Church is noted for. Throughout that entire process, Clark Productions was right by the side of founding Pastor Joel Kovaks and his worship team, helping them choose the audio, video and lighting technologies that would truly make this new house of worship a shining city set on a hill. It was a lengthy process, beginning in 2016 and lasting through (and extended by) the COVID-19 shutdown, but resulting in a 50,000-square-foot ground-up facility that includes an auditorium seating over 700 worshippers, a generous lobby space, a comfortable gathering room, a nursery, separate pre-school and kids areas, and administrative offices.

Named for Matthew 5:14, the verse that gave us the widely used “city set on a hill” metaphor, Five14 Church, the community formed as a portable pop-up church in 2010, recently opened its first physical plant, in the New Albany suburb of Columbus, Ohio.
