d:fine headsets have gone to Mark Graves, a member of the sound engineering team at his London church, and to Andrea Purchiaroni, chief engineer at Roman TV production company Etabeta.
"I was very pleased indeed to win a microphone," says Graves. "At St Pauls, Ealing, a large Anglican church in the New Wine network, we have a comprehensive PA rig manned by an enthusiastic volunteer team of PA operators. Our worship style is modern, with a full band in place for every service.
"On its first outing, the d:fine was used straight out of the box to mic the speaker, with no time ahead of the service for set up," says Graves. "The operator was immediately able to get a very pleasing sound from it and was very enthusiastic about its ease of use and quality of its output. After the service, the speaker commented that it was extremely comfortable to wear, very light, and that he hardly noticed it at all."
The Senior Pastor has now requested to use the d:fine for his sermons, and Graves is looking forward to his ongoing work with the mic. "It definitely shows signs of being a great addition to our collection," he says.
