Forefront brings the power of Quantum to Enjoy Church

AUSTRALIA - Forefront Productions has assisted the technical production team at long-term client Enjoy Church in Sunshine, Victoria, as it prepared for its Adore 2021 Women’s Conference. The HOW hosts the Adore Conference annually and Forefront has been onboard since its inception 13 years ago. Adore 2021 presented Forefront with an ideal opportunity to road test its newly acquired DiGiCo Quantum 338 and KLANG immersive in-ear mixing system.

“It was great operating our new Quantum 338 on its inaugural outing,” said Nick Burns, Forefront’s managing director. “After what seemed like a year of worldwide lockdown, it was such a joy to get behind the new console and put into practice a lot of my workflow revisions I had been conjuring.

“Mustard processing opens up a whole new range of options and colour for the sonic palette, and we’ve had fantastic results with Nodal processing – it’s such a great feature to exploit – and the recently updated spice rack is sure to prove a favourite. The ergonomics and workflow of the 338 are also great; the new screens and scribble strips are responsive, clear and tactile.”

The event also saw Forefront provide musicians with 3D monitoring thanks to KLANG’s immersive mixing system, providing performers with a 360° in-ear listening experience. “We’re very excited about the application of KLANG for many of our installation and church clients,” continued Burns, “firstly, for its great user control interface and secondly for its sonic impact. For many of our installation and church clients who have challenges with the time to spend on pulling great in-ear mixes, the instant spatial impact of KLANG gives so much separation and clarity, instantly allowing musicians unprecedented mix quality. Not only that but mixes can be saved, even song by song.”

Run via a KLANG DMI card inside a DiGiCo Orange Box, Forefront made use of the immersive mix technology through a DiGiCo SD9 console, which was set up as the event’s stage monitoring. “We’re already seeing a lot of positive feedback from our use of KLANG,” added Burns. “It was great hearing chatter from the musicians and singers backstage on how they could suddenly hear everything, but at the same time felt their own performances were cutting through the mix.”
