Minnesota’s Eagle Brook Church is a thriving, dynamic house of worship, growing from 300 people to over 11,000 parishioners in its 60-year history. The church has grown in physical size as well, expanding from one to four locations, with a fifth slotted for the near future. Because of that growth, the technical infrastructure required a retooling. Last year, Eagle Brook’s primary main campus console, which was handling FOH, monitors and video broadcast production, was replaced with three independent DiGiCo SD8 consoles. Jason Kartak of Audio Logic Systems was the Senior Designer on the project—working in tandem with Eagle Brook’s Director of Technical Arts, Bill Berger.
