Celebration Church underwent renovations of the building located adjacent to the Main Sanctuary, referred to as the Dome. The 20,000 sq. ft. Dome provides ample multi-purpose spaces for Celebration Church’s children and youth ministries’ activities. In addition, every room in the building doubles as a beautiful presentation space.

Celebration Church approached Applied Electronics to design, supply and integrate latest in audio visual solutions into the Dome’s auditorium, multi-purpose gymnasium, upper loft, three classrooms, a dynamic main foyer, and a central equipment room.

It was key for Celebration Church’s production staff to have all the new AV systems in The Dome building work in sync with the AV systems in the Main Sanctuary building. Applied Electronics built long fiber runs between the buildings so that The Dome would receive all the same audio and video feeds from the Main Sanctuary. To ensure this is accomplished, Applied Electronics created a dedicated Dante audio network in the Church’s AV system to control all the audio feeds coming from either building, as well as network them together to allow the user to share audio from either building.

The WE Global Learning Centre has two main purposes: to give students around the world the tools and support they need to create positive social change, and to support educators in delivering service-based curricula through the WE Schools program.WE approached Applied Electronics to provide consultation, design and integration services in converting the Toronto heritage building into a world-renowned innovative learning space for children located anywhere from across the globe.Applied Electronics designed, supplied and integrated audio visual and broadcast technologies into the lobby, the multi-purpose theatre with

a dedicated AV control centre, a live broadcast production centre, boardrooms, meeting rooms, seminar rooms, and other unique collaboration spaces throughout the building.WE celebrated the grand opening of the WE Global Learning Centre with a ceremony presentation held in the Centre’s 200-seat Hartley T. Richardson Emphatheatre and a live multi-location Skype session with students from London (UK), Pembina (Manitoba, Canada), Chicago (USA), Kenya, and Ecuador.

CISM-FM, the official campus radio station of the Université de Montréal, is run by student volunteers. Broadcasted on 89.3 FM, it serves audiences in Montréal and its outlying regions, as well as audiences around the world through online streaming. CISM broadcasts content in French, and with a broadcasting radius of 70 km, it is now the world’s largest French-language college radio station.The technical team at CISM contacted Applied Electronics with the requirement to upgrade their radio broadcast studio with a new transmitter. Applied Electronics retrofitted the existing system with a new WorldCast ECRESO FM Exciter/Transmitter, which is designed to offer an innovative and highly reliable solution for low power transmission.With the first Worldcast Ecreso exciter/transmittered integrated into a radio studio in Montréal, the newly upgraded

facility broadcasted live to air in late 2017 without a hitch.CISM’s technical team is delighted with the outcome of the project and plan to also convert its MPX signal over IP, so that they can use the Telos Alliance OmniaSST software processor, which Applied Electronics also supplied and integrated into the radio studio.

“The installation was flawless, and any communication between the Ecreso transmitter with the amp works perfectly,” said Gabriel Meunier, Technical Director at CISM 89.3 FM. “The quality of the sound has improved and is significantly clearer than that of our former exciter/transmitter. We are very happy, and all is going very well. Thank you to Applied Electronics for your support and your advice.”
