    image
    PSW Staff 05/07/12 09:26 AM,
    Stage Electrics has chosen a DiGiCo SD9 console to control an all-new audio system, designed for both live performance and digital cinema, at the Trinity Theatre in Tunbridge Wells, UK.  Built in the mid 19th century, the Holy Trinity was Tunbridge Wells’ first parish church. After its final religious service in 1972 its Grade 1 listed status ensured safety from demolition, and by 1975 a public petition had secured permission from the Church Commissioners to produce a plan for community… View this post

    Church Sound: Guidelines On Buying A New Mixer
    church sound
    Mike Sessler 05/02/12 01:02 PM,
    This article is provided by ChurchTechArts.   Almost weekly, I receive an e-mail asking for advice on which mixer to buy. The answer, of course, is always the same; it depends.

There are quite a few that hit a sweet spot in terms of a performance/value ratio, but even those are not right for every situation. So what I thought I’d do is walk through… View this post

But it is here in the archipelago where Mario Bettencourt has been operating his rental company, MARIUS Produções—the largest pro audio and lighting company on the islands—for the last 13 years, and Soundcraft desks have been a central feature.
