Beaverton Foursquare In Oregon Upgrades Audio Capability With RCF

TTL33-A line arrays support worship style that is a mixture of contemporary music along with a fresh take on great hymns

Beaverton Foursquare, a contemporary church serving the Beaverton, OR area for more than 50 years, recently implemented RCF TTL33-A line arrays to support a worship style that is a mixture of contemporary music along with a fresh take on great hymns.

To implement the upgrade, the facility reached out to Hillsboro, OR-based Small Town Productions to provide a solution.

“When we first approached the church about a system upgrade, we demonstrated RCF HDL20-A two-way line arrays,” notes Small Town Productions owner Russell Havlik, “Heads turned and grins started beaming. As we continued to talk to the church counsel about their true needs, with the variety of services and uses of the sanctuary we determined there was need for more program presets, zone control and other communications with the system.”

The decision then was to present the RCF TT+ Series. The three-way line array modules deliver added more clarity, and the onboard RDNet control and monitoring DSP, “had their heads in the clouds,” says Havlik, noting how the church can tailor the system to the specific needs of the service.

The system is comprised of two sets of four TTL33-A and two sets of TTL31-A line array modules to cover the congregation that encircles the main platform in a 210-degree radius. Two TT52-A dual-5-inch, two-way cabinets are utilized for lip fill in the front of the stage area.

The previous system was composed of 13 two-way point source cabinets. “Going to the RCF line arrays also de-cluttered the look of the sanctuary,” Havlik adds. “And the sound is night and day from what we had experienced. The RCF system really puts the sound right in your lap.”
