Iconyx upgrade improves intelligibility in Koreas Donam-Dong Church
Published: WORSHIP
SOUTH KOREA: Two Iconyx digitally steerable array loudspeakers from US-based manufacturer Renkus Heinz are providing improved acoustic intelligibility and musical clarity in the 400-seat Donam-Dong Catholic Church. The Installation was carried out by Renkus Heinz South Korean distributor Dai Kyung Vascom.
Coming as part of an overall audio system upgrade, the loudspeakers form the centrepiece of the local church’s front of house system, which is typically used for delivering mass as well as performances by Donam-Dong’s worship band. Also supplied were an Allen & Heath ML3000-24 analogue mixer, an Apex dBQ-Zero graphic equaliser, and a 104-10 Aural Exciter. A variety of Sennheiser microphones are also being used.
‘The church wanted to upgrade their system,’ explained Patrick Han of Day Kyung Vascom. ‘After assessing the space and discussing their requirements in detail, we supplied two Renkus-Heinz IC8-R units with RHAON (Renkus-Heinz Audio Operations Network). We also upgraded other aspects of their system to create a better system all around.’
Mr Han added: ‘The reaction from worshippers and the priests to the new system has been really good and representatives from another nearby Catholic church who also came by to listen to the system were very impressed’.
