SAN MARCOS, CA — A non-denominational church called theMovement opted to use Soundcraft’s Si2 digital console as the heart of its recent sound system upgrade. The church was making the transition into digital for the first time and chose the Si2 based on sound quality, DSP power and ease of use.
“TheMovement church is very familiar with high-tech gear,” noted Chris Matthews, an engineer who helped the church with the upgrade. “We needed a console that had the sound quality and the power to be able to use all gates and compressors and EQs at one time. We wanted a console with history behind it, and Soundcraft has a rich history including the Vi6,” Matthews said. “Their partnership with Studer is very appealing,” he added.
Citing its ease of use, Matthews said he liked the fact that “there are no real pages I have to go to in order to get an aux or EQ etc. I don’t have to rely on a screen to tell me what’s up.
“We looked at a couple of digital boards, but I was not caught up in the ‘trend’ consoles,” Matthews added. “Just because everyone else has one does not make it a great board or even a great sounding board.”
