ALABAMA, USA – The Church At Brook Hills has recently invested in an audio upgrade through the full-service production and integration company Morris Light and Sound, installing two Solid State Logic L300 digital live consoles at front of house and monitors.

MINNEAPOLIS – DiGiCo’s S21 console promised to add to the number of venues that could now afford to “go DiGiCo.” The Coffman Memorial Union at the University of Minnesota (UMN) in Minneapolis is one such venue. The Union hosts everything from concerts to keynotes to movie nights, and recently replaced an analog system in its multipurpose, 1,000-capacity Great Hall with a DiGiCo S21 desk supplied by Eden Prairie-based Audio Logic Systems.
