16 AV Installations from 2018 That AV Integration Firms Can Learn From
Power Struggle
Electricity near Casa de Dios, Guatemala’s largest church, is expensive and often unstable. Still, that couldn’t be an excuse for audio, video and lighting consultant and integrator Michael Garrison Asso-ciates (MGA) as it provided power management and other solutions for its 12,000-seat sanctuary and two 250-seat and 350-seat children’s theaters.
The Fresno, Calif.-based AVL consulting firm specified LynTec electrical power control solutions for the main sanctuary as well as the new theaters.
“LynTec is a standard on our projects, but it was especially vital as we worked out the logistics of working in Guatemala on a project of this scope,” says Michael Garrison, president and principal consultant, MGA.
“The proven safety and universal platform of LynTec’s power management control and audio, video and lighting solutions eliminated managing additional overhead and hurdles within our design and installation process. We knew that it would provide the power protection and user-friendly control the facility needed while enabling us to simplify the wiring for the electricians.”
To understand the stakes of this ambitious AVL project, it’s important to reflect on Casa de Dios and its unique challenges.
