Valley Community Church (VCC) in the East Bay suburb of Pleasanton, CA, is known for practicing what it preaches: to embrace a welcoming and giving spirit. With a new L-Acoustics PA system, the church is now known for its enhanced services.
In recent years, VCC’s weekly message from the pulpit has been a bit harder to hear; not because it’s not being well received by members and visitors, but because the sanctuary’s existing PA system was showing its age. “They were experiencing sound quality issues with their older, powered line array, and after several attempts to tune it, they knew it was at the end-of-life for that product, especially as compared to today’s technology and sonic standards,” noted Chuck Mitchell, CEO of Los Alamitos-based TechArts, an L-Acoustics Certified Provider since 2020 that was brought in to perform an audio retrofit for the church’s 600-seat worship space.
