FCBC, which attracts a congregation of up to 10,000 at its weekly services, has installed the second PRO6, purchased from Midas' Singaporean distributor Quad Pro, into its 1,500-capacity Touchcentre place of worship. The first PRO6 is already in fulltime use at the Touch Community Theatre.
FCBC's senior audio engineer, Philip Nadesan says, "The PRO6 retains the warmth of analogue boards yet adds a crisp 'sparkle' at the high end. The learning curve from analogue to digital board was surprisingly fast and smooth with the PRO6. The onboard EQ was a breeze to use and functioned like an analogue board. More impressively, there are four-mode compressors at the input channel and side chain functions.
"An unexpected surprise was the PRO6's onboard effects; we are getting the most use from the 3-band compressor. Initially our idea was to continue using our outboard equipment, but the PRO6's inbuilt effects quickly changed our minds."
