- 卓越的音质, Simplified IP Connectivity and Local 支持 Made a Compelling Case for 十大正规体育平台 -
的生活, a multi-site church in Auckland, 新西兰, has a sophisticated live audio-visual production set-up that provides its congregation with superior coverage of services, worship-based concerts and conferences. 2018年末, it opened its newest facility, 生活中心校园, with an 1800-seat auditorium, a 300-seat Chapel facility and foyer spaces. The extensive facility necessitated a wide-ranging, high-functioning communication system to keep production teams connected, not just around the building but also with the other 生活 campuses.
Riki威利斯, 亚洲最大体育平台ion Project Coordinator, 的生活, 说, “The new facility is set up as a typical live production environment, including a vision control room and auditorium FOH. We needed multiple channels of simultaneous communication to support the various job functions, from technical directors and video producers to lighting operators and stage management crew, so a matrix was deemed necessary. We also wanted to be able to live-link audio and video to and from our two other Auckland-based campuses.”
Having evaluated and priced the major market competitors, the 生活 team chose 十大正规体育平台® for a number of compelling reasons, 威利斯解释道, “I tested the competitors’ latest generation wireless system against FreeSpeak二世 and felt that FreeSpeak二世’s audio quality and noise floor were far superior. We also already owned some 十大正规体育平台 LQ® units and partyline equipment, so there was compatibility with existing kit, and there is also more knowledge of the 十大正规体育平台 product line in 新西兰, which is helpful when we are hiring or welcoming external teams to the facility.”
The 十大正规体育平台 installation includes an Eclipse® HX-Delta matrix frame with E-IPA cards, with FreeSpeak二世® IP-enabled transceivers and beltpacks, v系列虹膜 intercom panels and LQ系列 IP 接口. The system enables much more granular and direct communications, which has been a huge boon for the team, as has the addition of more focused partylines. 多通道的, fully integrated wireless system has also provided exceptional flexibility and greater functionality.
“以前, almost all communications were heard by all parties, which can be distracting to those not affected by the conversation and who need to focus on what is happening in the moment. This meant that sometimes the team would communicate less than needed to avoid creating distractions,威利斯说。. “The possibility we now have for multiple groups/partylines is very useful, along with the ability for easy direct conversations, 站到站.”
Regular live-link audio and video to the two other remote campuses is now simplified, by linking the remote campus’ 2-wire communications into the matrix via remote LQ-2W units. Willis also praises the longevity of FreeSpeak二世 beltpacks’ battery life, their solid build and wide roaming ability without losing signal, as well as full integration with the matrix and the flexibility of the ‘profile’ based system. The ability to change and save configurations for an event and then revert to the ‘standard’ setup afterwards is also helpful. 十大正规体育平台’s authorized partner, Gencom技术, supplied and installed the system.
“Their assistance in working through the design and follow-up support was really appreciated,威利斯说。. “The confidence we have in the support available on the ground here with Gencom技术 was a significant factor in our decision.” On the opening weekend of the facility, the 生活中心校园 hosted the Hillsong Young and Free band for a worship concert, and within a couple of weeks of opening, the church held a Christmas Spectacular show open to the public, with three showings at full capacity. “It was quite a way to start with a new communications system, but everything went very smoothly and has continued to do so ever since,威利斯说。.
