Project Overview:
Access Ministries partnered with MABE to transform their Bartow campus into a fully equipped worship space. The goal was to replicate the excellence and consistency of the South Lakeland broadcast hub while addressing the unique layout of the new building. MABE designed and installed all AVL systems to align with that vision.

System Highlights:

• Audio: The audio system featured Meyer Sound ULTRA-X42 loudspeakers, providing clear, even coverage throughout the space. 900-LFC Subwoofers offered deep low-end reinforcement, while under-balcony fills ensured consistency across seating zones. An Allen & Heath SQ-7 console with stage box integration handled mixing duties, supported by Shure wireless microphones and IEMs. OFE (owner-furnished) Ace Backstage stage pockets were also utilized for streamlined on-stage connectivity and clean cable management.
• Video: The video system featured a stage-mounted DVS 2.9mm LED wall with Novastar processing and a Blackmagic video switcher. SDI lines were distributed throughout the facility. OFE Apple Mac Studio and ProPresenter supported the control and presentation workflow.
• Lighting: Chauvet Professional fixtures delivered front wash, over-stage, and accent lighting. MABE mounted the lights on the stage with powder-coated truss columns and integrated them into a DMX-controlled networked system.
• Infrastructure: MABE installed a complete AV network using Netgear switches. All equipment was organized in Middle Atlantic racks and controlled via Q-Sys touchscreen panels for ease of use.

Results:
Access Ministries set out to make Bartow feel like an extension of their South Lakeland campus. MABE helped make that vision a reality. Through careful planning, clear communication, and hands-on execution, MABE created a worship space that mirrors the main campus in both design and function. The AV systems provide a familiar and high-quality experience for congregants while empowering local staff with reliable tools. Every detail—from the lighting ambiance to the livestream integration—supports a seamless, connected worship experience.
