This article is provided by Jeremy Carter. There are lots of theories on channel layout. Some mixing console operators prefer vocals first, followed by the band. Some use the opposite scenario, with the band first and then vocals. And some don’t give much thought to the process, just plugging things in order as they come from the stage (Stage Pocket 1, 2, then 3, etc.) regardless of what instrument is represented on that line. Over the years, I have…

Start by identifying the location of the speakers in the cabinet. Don’t assume that the speaker location is symmetrical (some are, some aren’t.) You may need to look at the back of the cabinet or shine a flashlight through the grillcloth to locate the position of the drivers inside the cabinet. Next, aim for the center of the paper cone, and about 1-2 inches from the grillcloth. This is the general starting place for all setups. Adjustments will be made…

This article is provided by Jeremy Carter. There are several different types of pickups and microphones to choose from. Here is a basic overview. Soundhole Magnetic Pickup Pros: It’s easy, inexpensive, and can give decent results very quickly. Cons: Because it is a magnetic pickup (like an electric guitar pickup), its sound is a little more dark and electronic sounding. Also, you have to deal with the annoying cable coming out of your soundhole. Connection to PA: Direct box,…

This article is provided by Jeremy Carter. Equalization (EQ) can be used to do a lot of things. Some of these things are very basic, while others are kind of exotic. In this post, we will focus on the most typical uses for the different kinds of EQ in a pro audio/live sound environment. Also keep in mind that as we progress into the digital age, these EQs may not be separate pieces of hardware in an equipment rack.…

This article is provided by Jeremy Carter. I’m not big on physical security for audio systems. Locked sound rooms and doors. Locking rack cabinets. Security Torx screwheads. Warning signage and sticky tape threats (Do not touch this knob!). And we’ve all seen the locking rolltop desk that covers the entire sound system. Why do folks do this? In a word – Fear. Fear of damage. Fear of loss of control. Fear of the unknown (if someone twiddles with the…

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…
