The church decided to upgrade the audio system after their original analogue system started to deteriorate; a 48-channel analogue mixing console was originally installed in the church, the digital Si3 replaced it with minimal infrastructure changes, immediately providing 64 input channels.
"There were a lot of factors that we needed to decide upon prior to purchasing a digital console, however we knew we wanted to upgrade to digital," said Rick LaPorte, sound engineer, LP Consulting Services. "We were very comfortable on analogue desks, but our church required a digital console. For us there were three vendors, but Soundcraft had the best price point, ease of installation, convenient user layout, programmability and availability."
