First Redeemer Church believes in Sennheiser's RF Superiority
In only 12 short years, Eulises Canada has become a widely known and deeply respected producer and vocalist
in the Christian music industry. His extensive work in the studio and on the road has also shaped him into a
discerning sound engineer. So when Canada joined First Redeemer Church in Cumming, GA as Creative Arts Director,
he initiated several technical upgrades to the audio system that would dramatically increase the impact and
beauty of the church's services. Chief among them was a complete replacement of the existing wireless microphone
systems with Sennheiser ew 165 G2 handheld microphone and ew 112 G2 lavalier transmitter/receiver systems.
Two main buildings reside on First Redeemer's campus. The first contains a 2000-seat sanctuary in which a full
orchestra and a 200-voice choir deliver a blended service every weekend with Pastor Dr. Richard Lee. The service
is broadcast throughout the country via the "There's Hope America" network. The second building contains
classrooms, student facilities, a family center, and smaller auditoriums where, for example, the youth band
performs.
"RF has always been an issue in the church market," said Canada. "In my professional career, I transitioned
away from a competing manufacturer to Sennheiser for all of my wireless applications… and many of my wired
applications too. I found that with other brands, it was only possible to manipulate frequency structure on
the high-end products, and even then it was difficult. I felt like I had to learn all the bands and all the
frequencies that go with each band. With Sennheiser, it's easy on both their entry-level and high-end lines.
I just look at the frequency band within the selector and pick a different frequency!"
Following Canada's direction, the church now has 25 Sennheiser wireless channels split almost evenly between
the ew 112 G2 lavaliers and the ew 165 G2 handhelds. Most of the systems serve the main sanctuary, but others
reside with the youth band and the class rooms. Canada coordinated their frequencies by first finding an open
channel for one system and then using the "auto search" feature for the remaining systems. They've remained
rock solid ever since, even amid the RF chaos of nearby Atlanta.

| What worship ministries are saying about Sennheiser... |
| "I also would like to thank you and Sennheiser for not only your
assistance with the whole TVBD fiasco, but your support of the H.O.W. market in general. It is truly
remarkable these days to have a manufacturer of the size of Sennheiser that allows its personnel to
interact with the end-user not only through outlets such as CSC, but the rapid personal response to
crazy tech guys like me! It is why I can recommend using your products so readily." |
