Texas Church’s Technical Director, Volunteer Crew Laud DiGiCo Control Solution

BURLESON, TX — Shawn Turner, technical director for Oak Grove Baptist Church in Burleson, TX, cut some stage lighting from the church’s recent install to make room in the budget for the DiGiCo S21 mixing console. Turner appreciates DiGiCo’s Flexi channel design, which adds stereo channels while using only single processing channels. Also, the ability to record 48 tracks over MADI to a computer is another boon for an all-volunteer environment. The overall system was sold and installed by Sight and Sound Technologies Inc. of Colorado Springs.
