KLANG Boosts Audio for Prestonwood Baptist Church

Prestonwood Baptist Church’s annual “The Gift of Christmas” production showcases the transformative potential of advanced KLANG church audio technology. With immersive sound systems and precise monitoring, the church has elevated this 100-minute holiday event, featuring a cast of nearly 1,000 performers, a live orchestra, and stunning visuals, into a spectacular experience for attendees.

To meet the production’s significant audio demands, the church partnered with KLANG and DiGiCo systems. Initially introduced two years ago, KLANG’s immersive in-ear monitoring system began with a single KLANG:konductor processor and a few :kontrollers for the core band. Its success led to an expanded setup that now includes 35 :kontrollers, enabling clear and precise audio mixing for the orchestra, choir, and other performers.

Tailoring Advanced Audio Solutions
The KLANG system’s integration was carefully planned to accommodate Prestonwood’s large-scale productions while remaining accessible to volunteer musicians. Features such as digital beam steering, personalized channel routing, and 128 available inputs provide unparalleled clarity and customization. Musicians and engineers have praised the fidelity of the system, noting improved sound quality without added effects like reverb.

In addition to its holiday events, Prestonwood utilizes KLANG technology for weekly services and other special occasions. The system’s versatility allows the church to adapt audio setups seamlessly, enhancing the worship experience across different events and services.

Supporting Massive Input and Output Needs
Complementing the KLANG system are three DiGiCo Quantum7 consoles, which handle over 200 inputs and 80 mixes for The Gift of Christmas. These consoles provide the flexibility and processing power necessary for routing, timecode-triggered snapshots, and immersive audio outputs, ensuring a flawless performance.

Prestonwood Baptist Church’s successful implementation of KLANG and DiGiCo highlights how advanced technology can elevate worship and event production, setting a benchmark for large-scale church events.
