Summary

Modern auditorium

Hillsong South Africa opened in 2008 and has relied on us for its creative technology since. We have supplied sound, video, intercom and backline, and equipped the Century City and Wonderboom campuses.

A church that opened in 2008 and needed its whole production setup, then upgraded screens at Century City (2017) and Wonderboom.

The setting

Hillsong South Africa is the South African arm of the Australian ministry, established in 2008. Its campuses include Century City in Cape Town and Wonderboom in Pretoria.

A church that opens a new arm in a new country has to build its whole production setup at once: sound for the room, video for the screens, communication for the crew.

The challenge

Each campus has its own room and its own needs. At Century City, the church worships in a dark room where the stage is framed by LED screens, and in 2017 it wanted a visual upgrade.

At Wonderboom, the church worships in a dark, black-walled auditorium with a lighting truss over a wide stage and rows of seating facing it. It wanted large LED screens on either side of the stage to improve the worship experience, and it had a tight time frame.

What we did

We have supplied all of Hillsong's creative technology needs since the church was established. That includes several d&b audiotechnik PA systems and Yamaha mixing consoles for sound.

For video we supplied Christie projectors and live video production systems based on Blackmagic and Renewed Vision products. Riedel intercom systems (headset communication for the production crew) link the team during a service. We also supplied complete microphone and backline packages (the stage amplifiers and instruments).

At Century City in 2017 we installed a Unilumen LED screen.

At Wonderboom we installed two Pixel Plus LED screens of 15 square metres each, managed by a Novastar VX600 All-in-One Controller. We chose our Pixel Plus brand for its LED quality and for our bespoke fabricated frame solutions. Careful planning kept the project on time despite the short schedule.

The outcome

Hillsong South Africa has relied on us for its creative technology since 2008.

The Wonderboom screens went in on schedule, and Century City has had its LED screen since 2017.

In February 2026 Hillsong Church, Century City hosted one of the three dates of our Church Production Roadshow, a free day of training and hands-on demos for worship and production teams.
