We were greatly saddened to learn of the passing of Tim Hill, a highly regarded member of the professional audio community since 1987, when he and his wife, Julie, established Sound Hill Technologies.

Over the course of his career, Tim and his team designed and installed sound systems for more than a thousand churches across the United States and overseas, bringing decades of technical expertise and musical passion to his work.

We’re honored to have known Tim and to have witnessed his many contributions to the professional audio community. Our deepest condolences go out to his family, friends, and colleagues.

We’re sharing this story from our archives in his memory.

Baptist Church Gets Big Sound with
CHICAGO – First Corinthian Missionary Baptist Church recently selected an FBT digital sound system for installation as part of an audio system upgrade.

More details from FBT (www.fbtusa.com):

When First Corinthian Missionary Baptist Church in North Chicago wanted to take their sound system from analog to digital, they had plenty of brands to choose from. After extensive research and guidance from their advisor, Tim Hill, owner of Sound Hill Technologies, they chose FBT. Derrick Moore, the church’s deacon and drummer, says it all came down to the brand’s ability to provide rich sound that supports the wide variety of speakers and performers that the house of worship features weekly – from passionate speeches of a single pastor to the sounds of a full gospel choir.

Hill, who has been in the business since the 70s, has been on both sides of the microphone, holding both vocal and engineering degrees, and being a minister himself.

“I’ve directed music and productions at my own church,” said Hill. “Houses of worship need great sound for their pastors and full choirs, but there are also children’s choirs and plays and everything in between. I recommended FBT as a brand because they have a high-priced sound at a mid-range price so, dollar-for-dollar, you can’t beat their affordability. They also offer a quality of voicing that’s pretty tough to beat. This all allows me to provide my clients with an exceptional product at a competitive price.”

The church had some challenges that Hill and his team had to contend with, including the fact that the space – located on the second floor of an existing building – had a 30-foot ceiling. There was no way to get a lift up the stairs, so he used scaffolding to install the required electrical support and all of the flyware (custom-made by Hill himself) from the beams.

To maximize sound in the 1,200-seat church, Hill installed 3 powered line arrays, left, center and right side of the pulpit, each consisting of one Muse 118FSA sub and 4 Muse 210LAV cells. He also used 2 Ventis 112As for choir foldback.

The inaugural Eagle River Jamboree brought nationally touring acts Ripe, Robert Randolph, and Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country to Eagle, Colorado, alongside a vibrant local lineup of country, bluegrass, jam band, and funk acts.

Sound was engineered and produced by Mountain West Production Group, powered by FBT systems including 20 x Mitus 206LA, 16 x Muse 210, and 6 x Ventus 115A.

Beyond the music, the Jamboree celebrated Colorado’s natural beauty and reinvested in its local music community through the Colorado Music Foundation’s “Play It Forward” music education program.

FBT applauds Eagle River Jamboree for putting on a one-of-a-kind event and helping artists of all ages pursue their passion for music. We are so grateful to mountainwestproductiongroup for their amazing work and for bringing FBT along on this adventure.
