African Crusades Go Digital with D1 Live
The Ernest Angley Minsitries based at Grace Cathedral in Akron/Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio is about to embark on another crusade to Africa and, for the first time, are relying exclusively on a DiGiCo D1 Live for all their audio mixing needs.
The crusades will travel to Namibia, southern Africa, and Lesotho, a small country within the borders of South Africa. The services will be held during the first three weeks of April, four to five nights a week. Most of the venues will be outdoor soccer fields will accommodate crowds from 30,000 to well over 200,000. There will be two stages at each location, with the ministry’s vocal trio performing to pre-recorded tracks on the main stage and local choirs and bands performing on a second stage at the side of the main stage.
“We’re using the DiGiCo D1 exclusively,” explains Bruce Ober, senior audio engineer with Ernest Angley. “The size to processing power ratio of the D1 gave DiGiCo’s console a significant advantage over all the other digital consoles I looked at. With almost limitless on-board features, combined with the versatility and customizing options available on the D1, all the control I need is right at my fingertips.”
Ernest Angley has also purchased a Meyer Sound MILO line array system specifically for the tour. The system includes four 700-HP subs as well as four UPA-1P and four UPJ-1P self-powered loudspeakers for side fill around the stages. Four Meyer Sound MSL-4 cabinets are available for delay towers.
“The ability to carry a loudspeaker system capable of covering outdoor services this large in our own airplane made the combination of the DiGiCo D1 and the self-powered Meyer system the obvious choice,” concludes Ober.
All the ministry’s services are video taped with its own four camera mobile production system and will be used for later broadcast around the world.
