La Crescenta, CA – January 2011… As is common at many churches these days, the worship services at La Crescenta Presbyterian Church have, in recent years, evolved into a combination of traditional and contemporary programs in an effort to be relevant to all age groups. Part of this evolution involves the transition from traditional piano/organ and choir-based music services to those that incorporate a vocal group with the support of an instrumental ensemble, or praise band. With these changes, the necessity of having a sound reinforcement system capable of providing both a high degree of speech intelligibility and solid music reproduction became increasingly important. To address this vital concern, the church recently upgraded its loudspeaker setup and installed a new TrueLine line array system from Greensboro, NC-based WorxAudio Technologies. more
