Dynacord raises the bar for lightweight, high performance sound in Seattle Houses of Worship
Lift Music of Seattle is raising the bar for House of Worship sound with Dynacord equipment. The Variline loudspeakers, Power H amplifiers, and D-Lite 2000 portable systems they installed at two of the City Church’s five Seattle-area campuses and at their Washington D.C. location have proven so impressive that City Church Chief Audio Engineer Wade Steele is planning Dynacord spec’s for additional sites.
“The size and weight to performance ratio Dynacord delivers is beyond impressive,” says Steele. “Steve Palermo and Justin Friesen (of Lift Music) exceeded all our expectations with these systems. The first system we purchased was the D-Lite 2000, as a high-performance portable PA for our Kirkland (Seattle) location. ‘Blown away’ does not even convey the awe that struck me when I first heard the D-Lite. At first sight I didn’t think it looked big enough to do what we needed. But then I fired it up, put in a CD, and ‘Bam!’ I was simply amazed at how much coverage and power came out of such a small system. The sound was so massive my jaw hit the floor. In my experience nothing comes close to providing D-Lite’s combination of small size and big sound.
“After the D-Lite system made such a strong impression,” Steele adds, “we spec’d more Dynacord for our Washington D.C. and Alderwood (Seattle) campuses. At the D.C. campus we have two flown VL 212 loudspeakers, coupled with eight Dynacord Sub 112 units for the low end, all powered by Power H 2500 and 5000 amps. At Alderwood we have a central cluster of two flown Variline VL152's; these were installed without subs and they still sound incredible. They have completely changed my perception of what a 15” speaker can do. People ask me ‘Where are the subs hidden?’ and I grin when I tell them ‘This system doesn’t have any.’
“To have so much power coming out of such compact units, with great throw and coverage, has really changed our services for the better. The Power H amps powering the Variline loudspeakers are loaded with RCM-26 remote-control DSP modules with FIR filters and protection algorithms; when Steve and Justin first tuned the boxes to the room and adjusted the FIR filters, I was staggered by the clearness and depth of the sound. The fact that hitting that high level of performance doesn’t require endless tweaks on expensive outboard gear, and the fact that the protection features keep everything safe and sound at all SPLs, is all added-value above and beyond the fundamentally brilliant sound quality. I love these systems!”
