An A/V system upgrade to its main chapel has seen Sungeun Church install a Qu-32 compact digital mixer, two AB168 remote I/O racks, and ME personal monitoring system from Allen & Heath.
The new system is required to manage live sound reinforcement for services and events, multitrack recording for web streaming content, and personal monitoring for the musicians in the church in Uijeongbu, a satellite city in Seoul.
‘The Qu-32 is intuitive, with plenty of outputs, great handling and quality faders and rotaries,’ says explains A/V Manager, Jongmin Lee. ‘The touchscreen is a good size and sensitivity, and gives a great overview as well as enabling fine control with a screen-dedicated rotary. And, thanks to the custom layer function, you can assign fader strips as you want. I also really like the GEQ. Unlike other consoles, I can apply GEQ on every output channel, and there are four different EQ models in the library.’
As the Qu mixer is installed in a control room, Lee uses the Qu-Pad iPad app to check monitor levels and room acoustics in the chapel. The two AB168 racks give flexibility to the musicians, offering simple and easy connection. The QU-32 also provides a 48kHz, 24-bit multitrack recording via DAW.
‘The ME system’s set up functions and channel grouping is very easy and simple to use, and the sound quality superb, so the players are very satisfied,’ he says.
