"Selection of a suitable replacement desk was a project in itself," commented team leader Chris Stone. "Not only would the desk need the capacity to support the regular church meetings - which usually involve a lively band with three or four singers - but to be able to run larger, and sometimes high-profile events in performing areas such as music, dance, drama, and multi-media." Requirements included good monitoring capabilities, dual FOH and monitor operation, sufficient outputs for recording and an audio for video feed capability.
"The GL3300 gives a cleaner sound, particularly noticeable on vocals. The engineers running the desk have found the individual channel metering to be a useful improvement on the previous desk and overall, the desk is clearly laid out and straightforward to use. The main benefit is that the worship team now has the equipment to run meetings without worrying about the technology getting in the way," concludes Stone.
