First Baptist Nashville Upgrades with Clear-Com's Arcadia Central StationFirst Baptist Nashville has upgraded its production communications with a Clear-Com intercom solution as part of a comprehensive sanctuary technology renovation led by systems integrator Mankin Media. Serving downtown Nashville for more than 200 years, First Baptist Nashville recently completed an audiovisual renovation designed to modernize the worship experience while maintaining the character of the church's more than 50-year-old sanctuary. Mankin Media integrated new audio, video, lighting, and communications technologies, including a Clear-Com intercom system that enables production staff to coordinate seamlessly with uninterrupted communication throughout the 1,200-seat facility. The Clear-Com installation includes Arcadia Central Station as the central hub, along with HelixNet Digital Partyline beltpacks, a HelixNet Remote Station, and FreeSpeak II wireless beltpacks. "The church wanted technology that would enhance the worship experience without compromising the history and character of the sanctuary," says Rick Myers, marketing director at Mankin Media. "Clear-Com provides the communications infrastructure needed to support future ministry growth and increasingly complex productions." By unifying wired and wireless communications in a single workflow, Arcadia Central Station seeks to provide a scalable system that can adapt alongside the church's long-term production goals. Combined with the simplicity of HelixNet and mobility of FreeSpeak, the solution helps technical teams communicate clearly in fast-paced live production environments, the company says.
