When Dell Rapids Reformed Church reached out to Mid States Audio & Video, the goal was simple: a sound system that lets the congregation hear every word of every sermon, every note of every hymn, without strain or distortion. The new installation delivered exactly that.

At the center of the system is an Allen & Heath SQ-5 digital mixing console, one of the most capable and reliable mid-format digital mixers in the market today. The SQ-5 gives sound operators intuitive control over everything from EQ and compression to effects and monitor mixes, all within a compact footprint that fits naturally into the church's existing layout. Its processing power and scene-recall capability make it ideal for a house of worship where multiple services, events, and volunteer operators are part of weekly life.

Speaker coverage throughout the sanctuary is handled by a Community speaker system, a brand well known in the worship audio world for its natural voicing and intelligibility-focused design. Community loudspeakers are engineered to project clearly across a broad listening area while maintaining warmth and presence — critical qualities in spoken-word environments where a clinical or harsh sound would be immediately noticeable.

Microphone coverage is provided by Sennheiser wireless microphone systems, delivering professional-grade reliability and audio quality to the stage. Sennheiser's wireless technology is built for live production environments, offering stable RF performance even in facilities with complex electronic infrastructure.
