Dongil Church elevates services with Harman

South Korea:

TechDataPS Co Ltd has installed an end-to-end solution at Dongil Church using JBL Professional speakers, AKG microphones and Soundcraft mixers. Originally located in Dangjin, Chungcheong-do, Dongil Church was established in 1996. In 2020, the church relocated and built a new 600-seat temple in Dongdaesin-dong, which is in the Seo-gu district of Busan.

To ensure pristine sound with even, balanced coverage across the church’s main hall, TechDataPS installed JBL VTX A8 compact line array loudspeakers and VTX B18 arrayable subwoofers. For stage monitoring, the system includes JBL VTX M20 professional stage monitors, AC195 and PRX812W full-range loudspeakers, as well as a dbx PMC16 personal monitor controller for fine-tuning the sound. Crown I-Tech 4x3500HD amplifiers power the system, while a Soundcraft Vi1000 digital mixing console and Compact Stagebox provide mixing functionality. The setup also features an array of AKG microphones, including the Drum Set Concert I collection, C214 large-diaphragm condenser, PZM30 D hemispherical boundary layer mic, WMS470 Vocal Set D5 wireless system, D5 CS dynamic vocal mic and HC81 MD lightweight cardioid head-worn mic.

For the church’s baby room and lobby, TechDataPS deployed JBL Control 16C/T ceiling loudspeakers, while BSS EC-V Ethernet volume controllers and BSS BLU-100 signal processors with BLU link provide added flexibility and audio performance. The systems in the children’s room and both elementary rooms use JBL EON612 self-powered loudspeakers, AKG microphones and a Soundcraft Ui16 digital mixer, while the multipurpose room features JBL KP4012 full-range loudspeakers as the main speakers, JRX212 speakers for the monitors, a Soundcraft Si Impact digital mixing console and Soundcraft Mini Stagebox 16i. Rounding out the solution, TechDataPS equipped Dongil’s café and choir practice room with JBL EON208P all-in-one portable PA systems.

Representatives from the Dongil Church reported to the TechDataPS team that the church was seeking a powerful, dynamic, and easy-to-use audio solution and they were very satisfied with the sound of the JBL VTX Series speakers. Furthermore, they reported that the Vi1000 is compact and comfortable to use and, although the maximum number of AKG wireless microphone 900 mega channels is limited to 10 or less, they were impressed with the mic preamp’s high quality and operational intuition.

“Places of worship like Dongil Church require pristine sound throughout the facility for an overall better listening experience,” said Amar Subash, VP and GM, Harman Professional Solutions, APAC. “We would like to thank our partner TechDataPS for providing unparalleled technical support to the client and overcoming challenges to meet the client’s requirement right to the last detail.”
