Crossgates Baptist Church
Brandon, MS
With an active congregation of around 4,000, Crossgates Baptist Church falls squarely into the 'mega-church' category. It hosts at least four services per week, in addition to making its facilities available to the local community. Like other worship facilities all across the country, Crossgates was forced to make technical accommodations to comply with the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) recent ruling on the 700 MHz bandwidth issue. Faced with an aging infrastructure of inferior wireless microphones, receivers and other equipment, FOH engineer Brian Hilburn knew he had to make an investment in wireless infrastructure that would last for many years to come--and that could deliver the exceptional sound quality he expected.
Crossgates Baptist Church acquired 16 channels of Sennheiser's ew 300 IEM G3 series wireless personal monitors, in addition to 12 SKM 2000 handheld transmitters and two SKM 5200 transmitters.
Crossgates ended up acquiring 16 channels of Sennheiser's ew 300 IEM G3 series wireless personal monitors, in addition to 10 SKM 2000 handheld transmitters and two SKM 5200 transmitters, both of which were outfitted with Neumann 105 capsules. As part of the equipment acquisition and installation, Sennheiser also included its RF services and wireless frequency coordination.

By using Sennheiser's Wireless Systems Manager (WSM), Hilburn is able to seamlessly monitor system parameters in real time via the network. "With the WMS software, we are able to gain complete transparency into our system to make sure everything is working as it should," Hilburn says. "For example, I can now see if one of our singers is overdriving their in-ear monitors, and if so, control it for them on the fly. Having this kind of control is outstanding."

Testimonials
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."
