Berlin, Germany - Seoul Sungrak church, one of the world’s true mega churches, is using Jünger Audio’s D06 two-channel Level Magic dynamic processors to provide automatic control of loudness across a variety of broadcast and live sound applications.
Established in 1969 with just seven members, the Sungrak Church has grown to encompass a membership of 150,000 with 220 branch and affiliated churches throughout the world. With a seating capacity for 15,000 in the main sanctuary, it ranks as one of the largest churches ever built.
Church services from the new headquarters are regularly broadcast live to worshipers via the internet and satellite. They are also recorded and released on DVD to many other Sungrak churches.
In order to guarantee the audio quality of these broadcasts and recordings, Sungrak’s audio engineer Kim Sun Ki specified the installation of four Jünger Audio D06 units - one for internal public TV broadcasting, one for satellite transmission, one for use on the Internet spread server and one for pastor voice control. “The main problem we faced was controlling the audio level and loudness of the pastor’s voice during sermons,” he explains. “We were starting from very low level speech and going up to maximum input level - an overall difference of more than 20dB.”
After testing a number of different solutions, Kwang eventually tried the Jünger Audio D06 units, which were supplied by the company’s Korean distributor Hanseo Broadcast & Music Tech Inc.
“These units really sorted out the problem and delivered exceptional sound quality,” Ki adds. “We then decided to use Jünger Audio’s Level Magic solution to resolve a problem we were having with our Tandberg RF modulator. This unit has a built-in audio limiter function but we couldn’t use it because the sound quality was so poor and the level settings were too low. With the D06 unit in place, we were able to turn off the internal limiter function and achieve great sound, even at very loud sound levels.” Jünger Audio’s D06 is a non-destructive loudness normaliser that provides automatic control of Loudness on any incoming source, regardless of its input level.
