Any growing production team will need an intercom system at some point, but chances are those teams have been putting off the purchases because quality intercom systems, especially wireless systems, are notoriously expensive. But companies like Hollyland have recognized the demand for simple, wireless intercom systems and are creating supply for small and large church productions alike. We had the opportunity to team up with Hollyland and send a set of the SolidCom C1 Pro’s to Colin Wells, the creative director at Point Church in Cary, North Carolina.
“To me, the best part about these intercoms is you are able to use them anywhere because they don’t have to be tied to a hub in one location,” Colin says. “There’s something that you can take with you to any situation. And so that’s one of my favorite things, especially as you’re growing as a church, as you’re looking to potentially upgrade your intercoms, upgrade your worship experience. Sometimes it’s hard to make that investment.”
That’s right-the Solidcom system is hubless. Each headset is connected to one “master” headset, and the system can handle up to eight total headsets without a hub. A hub can be added later to essentially endlessly expand the system, all with noise-canceling mic technology that filters out everything but the user’s voice.
“An intercom system like these Solidcom headsets can help you really elevate your worship experience,” Colin says. “It’s able to begin to expand your team. You can go ahead and grow the box of what you’re able to do. You no longer have to have everybody where the computer is. You no longer have to just guess when transitions are going to happen. You no longer have to just hope that that person running a camera on the other side of the room doesn’t move it while you’re on that shot. You’re able to really elevate what you’re doing in a way that’s a great experience for everybody involved.”
We were excited to examine the Solidcom C1 Pro at Capture ‘23, and now see them in used in a real-life scenario at Point Church.
Be sure to take a few minutes to watch just exactly how the Hollyland Solidcom C1 Pro intercom system elevated the production at Point Church, and then head here for all the info you need on the system itself.
