First Reformed Church upgrades with Soundcraft
Published: WORSHIP
WORLD: The First Reformed Church in North Carolina recently invested in two Soundcraft Si Expression 3 digital consoles, allowing the HOW to deliver a more dynamic audio experience for its congregation. One console is used for the main 400-seat auditorium, while the other is put to use in the smaller 200-seat auditorium.
‘Our past sound equipment does not even come close to the Si Expression,’ said the church’s technical manager, Adam Combs. ‘Our old console kept breaking down and I just can’t allow that to happen anymore during Sunday service. When investing in new consoles, I looked for reliability and sound quality. In both departments, Soundcraft delivered beyond our expectations.
‘For this price point, I get a ton of versatility coupled with beautiful sound quality,’ added Mr Combs. ‘I feel ecstatic – there is none other in this price range that even comes close to the Si Expression. Coming from an analogue console background, I am impressed by how simple yet effective this digital interface is.’
Mr Combs added that ‘on every Sunday, we have nine-piece bands and singers, and to support all that music with unreliable sound equipment would do neither the performers nor our worship service justice. I am happy to say that Soundcraft is living up to its reputation.’
