Pebble Creek Activities
When Pebble Creek decided it was time to completely renovate the Renaissance Theatre, they turned to UPstage Group for all of their Sound and Lighting upgrades. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, UPstage developed and installed a system that is easy to use while providing a top-notch audience experience. Featuring an all-new speaker system with Nexo PS-15, PS-10, and ID24 speakers, the theater now boasts incredible sound tailored to evenly cover every seat in the house, all controlled from a Yamaha TF5 digital sound console for consistent and easily-attainable professional results.
The lighting system is controlled by an ETC Ion console and features a new Cyclorama with Altman SpectraCyc fixtures for an even and vibrant palette.

Christ Presbyterian Church
CPC in Goodyear, AZ utilized UCG’s expertise in audio system design when upgrading from their original starter-system to a full-fledged, professional, sound reinforcement system. They required an easy-to-use console which could be operated by their volunteer staff while offering all of the benefits of a digital board.
