Taking place over two days at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Centre, Louisville, the event featured a wide range of music and praise performances, including choirs, orchestras, solo performers and worship teams from a number of individual churches.
Yamaha equipment provided the mixing, digital signal processing and amplification for the entire event, including PM1D, PM5D-RH, PM5D-EX {incorporating the DSP5D Expander) and M7CL digital consoles, DME64N digital mix engine and an SB-168ES stage box in addition to the 24 TX6n amplifiers, all networked using EtherSound.
Purchased from Jacksonville-based Capitol Design Group, SBC chose the TX6n amplifiers for three reasons. "First, they have the power and sonic quality to properly support our distributed audio system," says Jeff Davidson, SBC technical coordinator.
"Secondly, they give us the ability to maintain a completely digital signal path from the digital mixer, through the signal processing and direct to the amplifiers via EtherSound - made possible via Yamaha MY-16-ES64 and MY16-EX Mini-YG-DAI cards. And thirdly, the amplifiers feature extensive system monitoring and internal digital signal processing capabilities."
