Making megachurch visuals soar!

ENTTEC partnered with Eagle Brook Church in Minneapolis-St. Paul to enhance their worship experience using LED pixel-controlled lighting. By incorporating ENTTEC Pixelators, PLink Injectors, and 12V RGB 60-LEDs/m pixel strips, the church achieved dynamic and immersive lighting effects. This setup, overseen by Central Lighting Director Nate Nohling and executed by Monkey Wrench Productions, streamlined the church's lighting systems across multiple campuses, providing flexible and enduring solutions for their visual presentations.

For over a decade, ENTTEC has been helping houses of worship create experiences that shatter preconceived notions of what is possible on a Sunday morning.

Nate Nohling oversees the lighting, video and audio aspects of everything involved and works with the individual production managers, video directors and audio engineers working at all Eagle Brook locations.

Nate chose Seth Scott and his team at Monkey Wrench Productions for their unique requirements. Products used included ENTTEC Pixelators, PLink Injectors and 12V RGB 60-LEDs/m pixel strips.

To add to the scenic element, we are big on LED strips surrounding our truss. We have gone with different models over the years, but for now, we are really happy with the ENTTEC brand. We are using their Pixelators with great success. We found theirs to be the most flexible product as far as data distribution and networking within our system.
