Grace Church in Seattle has upgraded its sanctuary audio system with a 1 Sound PA installed by Viation. The design uses a discreet distributed Cannon C8 layout to address reflective surfaces, glass, wood framing and speech coverage through the center aisle.
Installation’s report examines how houses of worship are moving beyond in-room speech and music reinforcement into online services, hybrid worship and recurring content production. It identifies SMPTE ST 2110, NDI, software-defined production tools, LED volumes and XR environments as part of the convergence between pro AV and broadcast practice.
Korg has announced the NTS-4, a build-it-yourself analog mixer in its Nu:Tekt series. The palm-sized six-channel unit includes onboard effects, USB-C audio and MIDI, and is aimed at hardware setups using volca instruments, NTS devices, Eurorack modules and desktop synths.
Fellowship Church in Grapevine, Texas has upgraded the audio infrastructure in its 4,200-seat main campus auditorium with two DiGiCo Quantum338 digital mixing consoles. Supplied by systems integrator Clark, the consoles are now in use at the front-of-house and monitor mix positions.
Bayerischer Rundfunk in Munich has modernized its Ü5 radio outside broadcast vehicle with a software-based Lawo production environment. Keeping the 2007 chassis and body, BR rebuilt the vehicle’s internal technical infrastructure around SMPTE ST 2110, AES67, HOME apps, and an mc²56 MkIII console.
