Beamforming Technology in “Mother Church” of Korea

The Saemoonan Presbyterian Church was founded in Korea in 1887 and is the first organized church. Since the beginning of their mission, 21 district churches have been established in Seoul and the Gyeonggi region. In this way, they have provided spiritual and social lifelines to the Protestant churches in Korea. For this reason, it is known as the “mother church” of Korea.

With the gigantic new construction project of the sixth church building new challenges were sought and an architectural masterpiece realized: 19 floors, 68m building height, 80m church tower and a capacity of 2,200 persons in the Great Chapel. The entire sound system was installed almost invisibly in the walls behind acoustic fleece. (more…)

hd HLS20-TourSys1 Test Report in Tools4Music

In issue 01/2019, the specialist magazine tools4music is testing the hd HLS20P-TourSys1 in a live test in three completely different events: Open-Air, town hall and Rock-Band. Due to the high speech intelligibility and range of the compact hd HLS20 top all disciplines are mastered with flying colors and the system can convince even in difficult rooms. The author concludes with the words:

The hd HLS20 TourSys1 system convinces all along the line. Sound quality, throw range, low-end and sound pressure – all this offers the test system at a high, probably even the highest level. Especially the speech intelligibility in acoustically difficult rooms and the range of the compact top part impressed me compared to conventional array solutions. The PA sounds mighty, but is compact in comparison to the output. A combination that is popular with ambitious touring bands and rental companies
