My first Line Array Install... maybe

I got pulled into a panic situation with a new church build about 50 miles South of Atlanta with a fairly large sanctuary. The panic is they have the roof and metal walls up, but just figured out they need AV. Consequently we are in rapid response mode hoping to pull wire before they start closing up the walls.
Anyway, at 111 ft wide and 69ft deep, Mapp 3D is saying Line Array is the way to go. (Pressure Map Attached) I'm looking at DAS Series 208 boxes with double 18's on the floor. My question to the group is… has anyone installed a system using the Turbosound Berlin series Line Arrays using Ultranet? I'm putting in a M32 at FOH and Ultranet would give me digital to the boxes which should be an advantage, right?

That last sentence in the first paragraph should have been, "hoping to secure their go-ahead to our proposal so we can pull wire…"

Hey JD, sounds exciting!
I can't say that I have experience with Berlin or Ultranet. I guess Ultranet is built into the Berlin? That's cool.

By the way, it took a few hours for your post to show up here because it was your first one. Future posts will be immediate.

Thanks Nathan. Yeah, the Ultranet is cross platform among a lot of the Music Tribe equipment… Behringer, Midas, Turbosound… I've previously used it only for driving P16 personal monitors but you can allocate any number of the 16 channels to Ultranet for speakers.
I've not heard the Berlin boxes, but the one of the venues my tribute band played at were using DAS line arrays and they sounded very clean so I'll probably stick with that. We should have an answer on the proposal / price out tomorrow.
I'm assuming there's no "app" associated with the Community, right?

I installed a few line arrays when I was a project manager for Baker Audio, but this will be the first one I've designed and installed on one of my own jobs. Should be interesting if we get it. Thanks for the response.

It would be fun to look at some of your photos or design when you get a chance.
