Given the task of upgrading the A/V system at Journey Church in Lake Worth, Florida, technology solutions provider Diversified looked to add innovative communications and enhanced production capabilities and found its answer in Studio Technologies’ Model 5412 Audio Interface, Model 372A Intercom Beltpack, Model 545DC Intercom Interface and Model 348 Intercom Station.
‘Kyle Bowman the Production Director at Journey Church and his team wanted a more solid foundation for their intercom systems,’ says Diversified Worship Environments Vice President, Tim Corder. ‘They had great lenses, great cameras, great audio mixers and great tools, but the foundation of how everything was interconnected and where the team was in the building was a key concern. In doing this integration and installation, we really focused on lots of things that were involved in improving overall communications.’
The scalability and flexibility provided by Studio Technologies have proven invaluable for the church. With multi-site operations and a commitment to unified communication across various teams, Studio Technologies’ solutions have allowed Journey Church to standardise its communication infrastructure while ensuring ease of replication and training.
‘The biggest thing for us is just the reliability of knowing that we are going to be able to communicate effectively and without screaming over one another,’ Bowman says. ‘From that standpoint, I don’t have to worry about anything anymore. When you walk into our spaces now, one of the biggest selling points for us is how you can visually see how much care we’ve really put into our production spaces. This in turn creates volunteer buy-in and the ability to grow our team. With our new Studio Technologies gear, the clarity of the conversations that’s happening on the comms without cross chatter or overtalking has been a game changer.’
The backbone of the set-up is the Model 5412 audio interface.
‘It is the brain that lives in our backpack,’ Bowman confirms. ‘The 5412 provides a simple yet high-performance means of interfacing line-level analogue signals with applications that use Dante Audio-over-Ethernet media networking. We also have the Model 545DC sitting at the front of house, along with Model 348s at key positions across the venue. We have a fair amount of the Model 372As as well. With our old set-up, we weren’t clearly communicating. I couldn’t be any happier that Tim and Diversified introduced us to Studio Technologies.’
The volunteer teams at church now benefit from the upgrade, whether managing production cues during services, coordinating volunteers or ensuring seamless transitions, Studio Technologies is providing the foundation for reliable communication.
‘We are constantly seeking forward-thinking products that offer high value and sustainability,’ Corder says. ‘Studio Technologies ticks all the boxes, with a proactive approach to addressing client needs that is truly remarkable. With a focus on durability, user-friendliness, and exceptional audio quality, Studio Technologies has been a cornerstone of improved communication and production at Journey Church.’
