PUEBLO, CO -
Unlike many other church installations, Crown of Life
Church was a relatively new construction
and didn't have the deep reverberation issues that tend to occur
with older buildings. However, media director Dave Dauenhauer and
pastor Mark Hayes are confirmed audiophiles, so installer Dan Keller
of Dan Keller Audio Systems knew that he still needed to outfit the
house of worship with a high-end system. He first turned to SLS
Loudspeakers.
"There is one rule that I believe in, and that's to always put your
money in your speaker system," said Keller. "If your speakers are
bad, I don't care how good your electronics are, it's still going to
sound bad. It's the most important link in the chain. And the
people at SLS Loudspeakers have certainly built the better
mousetrap."
Keller
selected a pair of SLS 1290T-I's
as the main speakers, and a pair of SLS 115 EL subwoofers.
"The SLS
speakers are a perfect fit," said Dauenhauer. "As the "sound guy,"
I can't get over how well the speakers blend with the natural sound
of the sanctuary. Bring up the fader and the pastor just sounds
like his voice is carrying farther. I suppose the highest
compliment is that no one notices the sound system. Intimate sound
for 180 people. One parishioner who made it a point to sit in every
area of the sanctuary noted, ‘There really isn't a bad seat in the
house.'"
 In addition to
the SLS speakers, Keller also installed a Soundcraft GB4-24 with a
DBX rack. He also utilized Harmon electronics and Crown power
amplifiers for the rest of the rig. Keller added that, like with
many other SLS installs, the best comment that he gets from his
clients is in regards to attendees with hearing deficiencies. "My
number one comment after I've done a system is, ‘we've stopped using
our assisted hearing systems with our hard-of-hearing folks because
they can hear just fine now,'" he said, noting that response as a
positive endorsement of the system from those without hearing issues
as well.
