PSW Staff 03/07/12 12:03 PM,First United Methodist Church of San Diego is the largest Methodist church in southern California and occupies one of the most architecturally-splendid church campuses in the area. Over many decades, First United has struggled with sound reinforcement systems for its multiple venues that somehow always failed to live up to expectations. Recently, Paul Svenson of Sound Casework Inc. (PS Audio Video) reversed the inertia of that sorry history, unifying all five sound systems under a common, easy-to-use, foolproof paradigm centered… View this story

PSW Staff 02/28/12 05:46 PM,Built in the mid-1920s, The Moody Church in downtown Chicago accommodates more than 3,700 worshippers, making it the largest non-pillared auditorium in the metro area. Amplification inside the vast oval sanctuary was once fraught with challenges until the recent replacement of a 20-year-old main cluster with a new Meyer Sound MINA line array system. “To the untrained eye, the new cluster doesn’t look that much different,” admits Michael Arman, the church’s audio/visual technical coordinator, “so you might not notice we… View this story

Jeremy Carter 02/23/12 03:14 PM,This article is provided by Jeremy Carter. At one of the churches I’m currently working with, the situation is all too common. It’s a large multigenerational congregation with a lot of history. As such, the attendance trend is for an older crowd to populate the early service, with the later service being dominated by younger families. This is not surprisingm as the same thing is happening all across the country, evidenced by numerous posts by technical directors on their… View this story

PSW Staff 02/21/12 11:56 AM,Living Stones Church in Red Deer, Alberta has a rather unique expansion plan. When funds are available, the church has plans to knock out one of the sanctuary sidewalls in order to build out the room’s mirror image. The result will be a wide, fan-shaped room that effectively doubles seating capacity from 700 to approximately 1,400. In anticipation of that expansion and because problems with the existing sound system had become unbearable, Living Stones Church contracted Merge Systems Inc. of… View this story

Pat Brown 02/02/12 03:27 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 04:07 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

Bobby Owsinski 12/20/11 08:31 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
