Relocated Jesus My King church gets the QSC treatment

SINGAPORE: Sindo Exports has supplied multiple QSC K Series active loudspeakers to the recently relocated Jesus My King church, where space was at a premium.

Church senior pastor and founder Dr Steven Francis wanted bands and groups to be able to accompany church services at its new location, and as such required speakers for both on-stage monitoring and amplification.

Sindo Exports worked in conjunction with Singaporean sound consultant Robert Soo of Cogent Acoustics, who specified the system and recommended the QSC K Series. ‘After surveying the venue I decided that the QSC K Series active loudspeakers best fitted the bill,’ said Mr Soo. ‘The hall is wide and fan-shaped with an extremely low ceiling of just 2.5m, and a floor space that leaves little room for the FOH booth and even the stage after fitting in all the required seats.’

As a solution, five K10s were ordered, of which three are used as the main FOH speakers and two as floor wedges for musicians. Mr Soo also specified two KW181 subwoofers (one positioned on either side of the stage), and used three smaller K8s as fill-in speakers towards the back of the church. Meanwhile, two K8s are used in a separate training room whilst a sixth plays music in the church's main reception area.

Both Sindo Exports and Robert Soo said they are ‘pleased with what has been achieved’, as is Mr Francis. ‘Reverend Francis was already impressed with QSC products from a previous positive experience,’ explained Mr Soo. ‘So he had absolutely no problem with any of my suggestions — including the choice of active monitors, which I considered for this project because they save on the space required to house a rack of amplifiers.’
