Summary of the first American use of the Yamaha My8-SDI-ED SDI Embed/Deembed card for Willow Creek Community Church’s Global Leadership Conference
7,200-capacity Willow Creek Church upgraded its sound system seven years ago, but not the amplifiers for the main sanctuary’s six Danley Sound Labs TH-115 subwoofers. The church’s audio crew is now using just two Powersoft K3 units to replace the previous six amps. Along with reliability, the new units feature digital signal processing and network control.
