PSW Staff 07/31/09 07:21 AM, 0 CommentsThe planning and construction of Northwood Baptist Church’s new worship center in North Charleston, South Carolina, took nearly four years – and the church couldn’t be happier. “It took a little longer than we had originally hoped, but the patience paid off,” admits worship pastor Michael Bell. “But by taking the time to get it right, we got way more than we ever thought we could have. Our new Allen & Heath iLive-T console is a perfect example.” Design-build integrator… View this story

The AT835ST microphones were provided by the Societé Française de Production (SFP), a division of the Euro Media Group, which has been a… View this story

The company’s most recent development, the SD8 digital console, has 60 stereo or mono channels available (the equivalent of 120 channels of DSP)—plenty for most churches—and certain key functions are available on all channels all the time, in contrast with some digital consoles that don’t offer consistent processing on all channels.

Bruce Main 06/26/09 09:21 AM, 0 CommentsSummer is here, and a good many of us are out working those “mud and dust” shows, fairs and festivals. We get to clean amplifier filters on a daily basis, put wedges into garbage bags to keep them dry, mix with visqueen draped over the console (also to keep it dry). And, we’ll have a shop vacuum at front of house as well as the monitor “beach.” That said, the toughest aspect to deal with when doing shows in the… View this story

Mike Wireless 06/23/09 06:46 AM, 1 CommentThe newest wireless system offering from Lectrosonics, the D4, is the first one I’m reviewing that does not use the UHF spectrum. Instead, the D4 runs in the license-free ISM band between 902 and 928 MHz. Unlike the UHF band, this slice of spectrum is only 26 MHz wide (as opposed to over 230 MHz for UHF). The FCC considers the ISM band to be license free, but still puts restrictions in place on how much power transmitters can have… View this story
