Church at Viera Hosts Advanced Commitment Night at King Center with Allen & Heath Avantis
Melbourne, FL — March 8, 2026 — Church at Viera hosted its Multiple Discipleship Journey Advanced Commitment Night at the King Center for the Performing Arts, bringing together church members for an evening of worship, reflection, and commitment marking the culmination of an intensive discipleship journey.
The event’s audio production featured a streamlined all–Allen & Heath signal path, anchored by an Allen & Heath Avantis mixing console at front-of-house and an Allen & Heath SQ-5 dedicated to monitor mixing all running at 96k.
All stage inputs were handled through Allen & Heath DX1608 stage boxes connected to the SQ-5. The monitor console’s Allen & Heath SLink Option Card provided the link to the Avantis at front-of-house using the Tie Line option, allowing seamless sharing of inputs between consoles while maintaining a simple and reliable workflow.
The Allen & Heath system was brought into the venue for the event and integrated directly with the house sound system at the King Center for the Performing Arts.
Front-of-house audio for the evening was mixed by Rick Nemetz, owner of Portable Sound Solution Inc, who served as A1 for the event. Sam Henery handled monitor engineering duties on stage using the SQ-5.
Nemetz praised the Avantis’ onboard processing capabilities, noting that the console provided everything needed for the mix without external plug-ins or processing.
“The Allen & Heath Avantis was amazing,” said Nemetz. “With all the options in the dPack, including onboard compressors, the use of the Dyn8 multi-band compressors, and the Source Expander, there was no need for outboard processing like Waves.”
The system delivered a powerful and transparent mix for the evening’s worship music and speaking segments, demonstrating the flexibility and power of modern digital mixing systems in live worship environments.
For Church at Viera, the night represented a significant milestone for participants completing the church’s discipleship pathway, celebrating months of spiritual growth and commitment within the church community.
