Pat Brown 02/02/12 04:27 PM,Many things around us are getting better. Computers are faster, televisions have more resolution, and dishwashers are quieter and more powerful than ever. But with all of our digital wiz-bang processors, technology has been unable to eradicate “bad sound.” Why is this so? This short piece is an attempt to shed some light on three possible causes, two of which have been completely unaffected by the technological revolution. The goal of most sound reinforcement systems is to deliver high quality… View this story

Gary Zandstra 01/31/12 05:07 PM,One of my favorite sayings: “Audio is an art that everyone thinks is a science, and audio is a science that everyone thinks is an art.” There’s no doubt that delivering an accurate (not to mention good-sounding) mix without missed cues is the right blend of both art and science. Knowing the science helps in setting up the mix and making sure that everything is routed properly and the right things plugged in to the right parts of the system.… View this story

PSW Staff 01/30/12 04:00 PM,Summit Ridge Christian Fellowship located in Spokane, Washington, recently upgraded their worship services with a new sound system powered by Powersoft amplifiers. The church leadership worked closely with AGI Professional, located in Eugene, Oregon, to design a system that would accommodate not only their contemporary services but also their requirement for the system to be portable with easy set-up. “Summit Ridge is part of a growing segment of churches that doesn’t own a brick and mortar building but instead leases… View this story

PSW Staff 01/20/12 06:55 PM,Powersoft M30D DSP+ETH amplifiers were recently installed at Eugene First Church of the Nazarene to power a new sound reinforcement system designed and installed by AGI Professional, also of Eugene, Oregon. In the midst of fund-raising efforts to build a new 900-seat church, the leadership at Eugene First Church of the Nazarene was committed to providing the very best worship experience at their current 400-seat church. As a result, the new system was designed for the existing location with the… View this story

Bobby Owsinski 12/20/11 09:31 AM,(Click here to go to part 2 of this article.) As a staff sound operator, your fundamental charge is to make sure the best possible audio is available for every church function—that seems fairly obvious. However, unlike most of the rest of the world, churches thrive because of the efforts of volunteers. With help from God, they achieve great things and do good works. In the workforce, an employee commits to fill a job position, understanding that there will be… View this story

Pat Brown 11/29/11 03:04 PM,The device commonly referred to as a “speaker” is more correctly referred to as a loudspeaker system. It is comprised of some transducers, a crossover network, an enclosure, and a few additional parts. Loudspeaker system designers must be familiar with the complicated interactions of the components that form the system. An assemblage of good parts does not guarantee a good system. (Note: For the remainder of this article I will refer to a loudspeaker system as simply a “loudspeaker.”) If… View this story

PSW Staff 11/22/11 01:49 PM,Like many things in live sound, there are not a lot of real hard and fast rules when it comes to how to mic a choir. The goal is good balance, a natural sound, and high gain before feedback. The most popular microphones for choirs are small diaphragm condenser types that are purpose designed, though in certain situations large diaphragm (condenser and dynamic) models can be effective if deployed correctly. Small condenser mics for choir have a cardioid (and sometimes… View this story

PSW Staff 10/14/11 12:06 PM, 0 CommentsThe iconic 1967 film The Graduate ends with protagonist Benjamin Braddock (famously played by Dustin Hoffman) interrupting the wedding of his true love by banging on the church window from a loft at its rear and screaming her name, just as she is about to kiss her soon-to-be husband. The scene and a number of subsequent scenes of comedic homage (Bubble Boy, Wayne’s World 2) were shot at La Verne United Methodist in La Verne, California. However, for the parishioners… View this story

PSW Staff 09/28/11 12:51 PM, 0 CommentsIn order to better serve its ever-expanding congregation, Church on the Hill recently opened a new building on their campus that includes a sanctuary, classrooms, and office space. Music plays a vital role in their contemporary worship services and, as such, church management recognized the importance of having a capable sound system to reinforce both the spoken word and the music performed during services. To ensure a high level of speech intelligibility and natural sounding music reproduction, the church selected… View this story
