On this episode of LED Talk, host Tyler Kern was joined by Jon Lewis, Lead Consultant and Sales Representative at PixelFLEX, and Chris Clark, Director of Media, Southside Baptist Church to discuss the ins and outs of LED in the house of worship.

Clark, for context, described why his Southside Baptist Church decided to move their screens to LEDs, and what the advantages have been. One advantage: LEDs do not have the same glare issues Southside’s old monitors did, which make the screens easier to view when stage lights are on during services.

Lewis described the process PixelFlex goes through when working with churches on their needs.

“Finding out how they are currently exporting video and how they are currently putting content together,” Lewis said, are key findings PixelFLEX goes through with churches on needs assessment. “How big a screen do you need, how are you going to push content, and how intricate can you get,” are all important considerations.

Clark detailed his fantastic experience working with Lewis and PixelFLEX on Southside’s needs.

“Start to finish the whole process and working with John and PixelFLEX was as good as it could possibly be,” he said.

A key point, Clark mentioned, is his church budgeted out their needs and then worked with Lewis and PixelFLEX on the project and timing. For Lewis, his suggestion is houses of worship should start their conversations prior to when they want to make their purchase, so the deliverables are ready when they need them.

Lewis provided examples throughout the discussion of various uses for LED in churches, and the types of request he and his team receive. In the end, Clark’s satisfaction with the move to LED, left him with nothing but praise, and suggested other houses of worship should look into making the switch.

Broadcast vendors say resilient workflows start with fewer tools

Broadcast vendors say resilient workflows start with fewer tools

Panelists argued that resilience can start with questioning unnecessary integrations and pushing controls into the background through templating and automation. They also urged teams to price redundancy and failover paths, including the ongoing cost and carbon of capacity that sits idle. Sony’s Martin Lindsay said open standards such as C2PA are essential to keep provenance information interoperable across tools, platforms and distribution.

  • 01Every tool added to a broadcast chain brings another credential, integration and thing to patch, so panelists urged teams to question whether existing platforms can cover a need before adding another layer.
  • 02Every duplicate region, standby instance and failover path adds cost and carbon that most organizations aren't measuring, Humans Not Robots CEO Kristan Bullett said.
  • 03Business continuity is about keeping the program on air while issues are addressed, while disaster recovery is about restoring systems and content; Wierzan argued they need separate plans, owners and testing rather than being treated as the same discipline.

JBL 3 Series MkIII monitors add VESA-pattern inserts for wall and ceiling installs

JBL 3 Series MkIII monitors add VESA-pattern inserts for wall and ceiling installs

JBL Professional's 3 Series MkIII monitors add eight VESA-pattern mounting points and a subwoofer that defers to external bass management. That combination makes a desktop monitor line practical for wall, ceiling and immersive rooms. North America ships January 7, 2027.

  • 01Eight M4 inserts in a 75 × 75 mm VESA pattern are intended to enable wall, ceiling, stand and monitor-arm mounting, making surround and overhead layouts a more practical extension of the 3 Series MkIII.
  • 02The 310S MkIII subwoofer's external crossover bypass decides who owns bass management, and that choice belongs in the room design before anything is ordered.
  • 03North American availability starts January 7, 2027, more than two months after Asia-Pacific and EMEA, so Q1 installs specified now carry a delivery date with them.

How Bose’s MA3 micro array uses splay to keep sound off ceilings

How Bose’s MA3 micro array uses splay to keep sound off ceilings

Bose Professional introduced the MA3 Micro Array, a passive modular micro line array whose 3.5 kg modules can be splayed to keep energy off reflective ceilings. The design work shifts to the integrator: splay angles, amplifier loading/protection and Bose’s recommended 70 Hz high-pass filter are key choices. Bose lists houses of worship, multipurpose rooms, corporate spaces and education/government venues among its targets.

  • 01Each MA3 module covers just 5° vertically, so the angles set between boxes become the main control for keeping sound off reflective ceilings in reverberant rooms.
  • 02For a head-to-head spec review, ask for high-frequency vertical off-axis data: the MA3 and Martin Audio O-Line share 100° × 5° nominal coverage but use very different tweeter designs.
