USA - The Christian Faith Center in Seattle is one of the latest large houses of worship yet to install a Midas XL8 digital mixing system. The church is located on two main campuses in suburban Seattle - one of which is a state-of-the-art facility completed in September 2007 - and 8,000 people a week now attend services at the two sites.

When it came to improving its sound reinforcement system, the church worked with AV specialists Michael Garrison Associates to install two XL8 systems in the 5,000-seat sanctuary at their new campus, a 550sq.ft octagonal space with stadium seating.

Kris Hillstrom, technical director at Christian Faith Center, described how the church is sounding better than ever: "We knew that we wanted to make a substantial investment in our new sound system. Seattle is a very music-savvy part of the world, and we all felt that, as one of the largest houses of worship in the Northwest, we had high standards to uphold. We want to provide an inspiring, high fidelity experience for the congregation, and Midas, with its industry standard reputation, was the way to achieve that. We've been preparing our congregation for this building for seven years, and expectations were very high; the XL8 has surpassed them all."
