A Pliant Technologies CrewCom wireless intercom system was recently implemented at Iglesia Comunidad de Fe Ministries in Miami.

Iglesia Comunidad de Fe Ministries in Miami recently upgraded its production communications by replacing an existing wired intercom with a Pliant Technologies CrewCom wireless intercom system in a project directed by church media director Denis Orozco.

Mix3 Sound, a Florida-based live event, AV installation and project service provider, worked with Iglesia Comunidad de Fe for its outdoor conference, MEGA CIM, which was the first time Orozco had used CrewCom. “The venue we rented for the event had too many runs and limited access for cables, so the crew at Mix3 Sound brought the CrewCom wireless system to our attention,” he says. “Once they reassured us the system was going to allow us to cover the entire venue, we were eager to see it in action. Once we used it, we knew we needed the CrewCom wireless system in our church.”

The decision to replace the church’s existing intercom system was born out of necessity — it was too cumbersome while a lack of reliable communication led to too many errors during productions. The new CrewCom intercom package at the church is comprised of a Control Unit (CCU-22), two Radio Transceivers (CRT-900), a dozen 2-Volume/2-Conference Radio Packs (CRP-22-900), along with Pliant SmartBoom headsets.

“We have been very happy with our CrewCom system since we bought it,” adds Orozco. “It is super-easy to use. You literally only have to push one button on the radio pack, which is great since many of the people using it are volunteers who have little to no professional A/V training. In addition, we can hear each other a lot better on the headsets. The sound is amazing and we never have to ask anyone to repeat even with loud music playing in the background.

“I haven’t had any issues with our new intercom,” he continues. “CrewCom is being used on a daily basis, including most of the day on Sunday, and it has been great. The durability of the system is a testament to Pliant’s workmanship.”

In addition to everyday use, the Pliant system has been deployed for larger events. For a recent event, the church had more people added to the show and were able to rent extra units. “We were up and running with extra radios in minutes,” Orozo concludes. “CrewCom is a wonderful addition to our church.”
