Church on the Move takes a step with Solid State Logic

Church on the Move installs Solid State Logic Live consoles across multiple auditoriums, improving audio performance, workflow and training for volunteers

Church on the Move (COTM) has relied on Solid State Logic (SSL) consoles since replacing its analogue front-of-house desks in 2015. The 2500-seat Tulsa auditorium now runs on an SSL Live system, with two additional consoles installed at the church’s West and Broken Arrow locations respectively.

The three new SSL Live consoles have delivered a noticeable improvement in processing power and speed of operation. By using the L650 Plus at the FOH position, the church has no longer needed to run outboard effects or plug-in servers, reducing the risk of an external equipment failure interrupting the production.

two new L450 consoles, which are both used to mix FOH and monitors, have ALSO replaced an L200 at Broken Arrow and an L300 at West. As a result, the church’s mixers are benefitting from a significant increase in available processing resources.

In addition to these three consoles, an L550 Plus was also installed at the 1500-capacity auditorium at the Oneighty Youth ministry on the Tulsa campus. The Oneighty Youth facility has previously been used as a weekend overflow from the Main Auditorium.

The SSL Live consoles at all four venues are connected to ML 32:32 MADI analogue stageboxes and recorded locally.

The church employs full-time production managers to operate the SSL consoles. It also has a pipeline in place to train volunteers. “Students are learning how to run the SSL consoles,” says Johnathan Basquez, COTM’s production director. “We also already have students who know how to run the consoles, so now it's about showing them how to make it sound good. We have anybody from 14 years and older running these consoles now.”

The inverted T-shaped layout of the L200 – similar to the L650 – with a triple-wide fader bank on the lower level makes it easy for an assistant to make changes without getting in the way. The Live Remote Expander with the L500 in the Tulsa auditorium, purchased to support major productions at the church, was also especially useful for training assistants.

With its SSL Live ecosystem now fully deployed across multiple auditoriums, COTM highlights how these consoles can enhance operational speed, reliability and training – showcasing the power and flexibility of SSL systems ahead of NAB 2026.
