Provided by Sennheiser. The worship mixer’s job is executed in the mix position during worship, but its success is mostly established outside the mix position, prior to worship. 1. Rehearsal music Get whatever rehearsal music media is available to the worship team for review (legally). Learn the arrangements by listening during the week. Not only will your mixes come together quicker for each song, you’ll also anticipate things like guitar solos or false endings before they happen – not…

This article is provided by Bartlett Microphones. Condenser microphones need phantom power to operate their internal circuitry. This article explains phantom powering, tells how to use it, and offers some precautions for its use. Phantom power is supplied to the mic through its 2-conductor shielded cable. The power can be supplied either from a stand-alone device or from a mixing console (at each mic connector). The microphone receives power from, and sends audio to, the mixer along the same…

Cable selection presents two primary challenges: myriad choices and overall quality. I’ve explored these challenges and have defined six factors that can help point you in the right direction. These factors include appearance, durability, flexibility, sonics, conductivity and shielding. Let’s have a look. Appearance Understand the difference between the look of quality - like shiny gold-plated connector housings - and actual quality construction and materials. A primary problem arises when assumptions are made that the materials inside a cable housing…

This article is provided by Bartlett Microphones. Nothing has more effect on the sound of your recordings than microphone technique. For example, which mic you choose—and where you place it—affect the recorded tone quality. That is, mic technique affects how much bass, midrange, and treble you hear in the monitored sound of a musical instrument. Mic choice and placement also affect how distant the instrument sounds in the recording, and how much background noise you pick up. This guide…

This article is provided by Bartlett Microphones. Suppose you’re listening to the house sound system reproducing a play or musical. Some of the actors’ voices sound “puffy” or “muffled,” as if they were covered in a blanket. Other actors might sound “spitty” or overly sibilant. Fortunately, those problems can be fixed with the equalization knobs (EQ) in your mixing console. EQ adjusts the bass, treble, and midrange of a sound by turning up or down certain frequency ranges.…
