Community sponsors sound workshops
Published: WORSHIP
US: Community Professional Loudspeakers has announced its sponsorship of another series of ‘HOW To’ church sound workshops, presented by Fits and Starts Productions LLC. The series represents a global model of manufacturer-supported market education, ripe for emulation worldwide.
It has toured cities and churches across America for seven years, and kicks off another season in 2011 offering six new tour segments of six cities each, plus several private training sessions. The programme features eight-hour ‘Live Sound for Worship’ workshops with equipment fully integrated, as well as a ‘Recording and Podcasting’ seminar.
Designed for the church audio volunteer, live sound personnel, media and praise band members, each workshop is produced by industry veteran Hector La Torre and presented by sound reinforcement engineer Mike Sokol. The programme offers attendees a rare opportunity to learn about church sound systems in a professional manner.
The HOW To Church Sound Workshops offer several training categories in each workshop, including Microphones, Mixing Consoles, Speakers & Amplifiers, Signal Processors/Effects, Recording, Podcasting and more. ‘We’re proud and pleased to have Community on board for our HOW To workshops,’ remarked Hector La Torre. ‘Our sponsors are invaluable to us as more than just business partners. They are chosen because of the quality and reliability of their products, which we are comfortable to use and
recommend to houses of worship across the country.’
‘Community loudspeakers have long been a part of helping to deliver the message in a great many houses of worship worldwide,’ said Julia Lee, Community’s director of sales and marketing. ‘We’re really pleased to be involved in the HOW To workshops, and look forward to doing our part to help educate church sound personnel.’
