The recent Tzaneen Pastors Fraternal Worship Conference, hosted at the sanctuary of the AFM Fountain of Life Church in the tropical garden town of Tzaneen, South Africa that’s currently undergoing a renovation project that leaves the space without carpeting and any form of acoustic treatment, enlisted the services of audio rental specialists Mbhetse Productions to deploy HH Electronics TNA line arrays to deliver the necessary power and clarity for the combination of spoken word and music ensemble presentations.
Launched earlier this year, the TNA line array was designed for a range of small- to medium-sized applications and is based around the TNA-2120SA, a multi-channel active subwoofer with integrated class D amplifier driving its dual 12-inch woofers joined by the TNA1800SA single 18-inch active subwoofer. With three channels of amplification, the TNA-2120SA houses six built-in DSP presets, and as part of a modular system, can power up to six satellite TNA-2051 passive, two-way compact line array loudspeakers.
For front of house reinforcement of the conference, Mbhetse Productions deployed a ground-stacked configuration comprising (per side) a TNA-1800S, a TNA-2120SA and four TNA 2051. In addition, several TRE-1201 units supplied stage monitoring.
“The HH Electronics TNA line array blew me away,” says Chimmy Machimana, the front of house engineer for the event. “The sound was crystal clear with a very punchy low end, and the coverage was impressive. More impressive is what we were able to achieve in a room with very challenging acoustics.”
Pat Malungani, owner of Mbhetse Productions, adds that he was pleased with the positive feedback he received about the HH system and had a special mention for the TRE-1201 monitors: “The clarity of the monitors was pristine, even in such a challenging acoustic environment. We used the TRE-1201 units as monitors for the presenter and lead vocalist with exceptional results.”
