USA-Faced with audio issues ranging from sound quality to interference,Central Seventh Day Adventist Church in Albuquerque decided to switch from conventional wireless microphones to Line 6 XD-V digital wireless.As Pastor Don Gibson recalls,"Our systems were pretty old,and we started having issues,especially after the FCC rules changed.Then the Line 6 systems solved all our problems."
Tony McKenzie,a member of the congregation and an AV professional,helped research the change."Having been an audio-visual technician for over 30 years,I support the church by helping them make proper decisions for their audio-visual needs,"he says."I was aware of the Line 6 product through my company,Action Audio Visual,so we set up a demo.The difference was so dramatic,it made the decision easy."
Initially,the church purchased four XD-V70 systems,including three handheld vocal microphones and a bodypack system with headset microphone for the pastor.They were so successful,the church added two channels of the next-generation XD-V75 a few months later,and has plans to expand even further.
"We record all our services as DVDs,so sound quality is really important to us,"says Don Gibson."The Line 6 mics sound fantastic,and we haven't had any interference problems or dropouts since we got them.We use them for our praise team,in teaching,in drama,and for things like children's stories.All we do is turn them on and go.They sound great and work perfect every time."
