Provided by Sennheiser. Ever have problems with stage volume that’s just too loud? Combating sound issues from performers who can’t hear themselves play - much less think - can be tough. How many times have you pulled down the master faders to (-) infinity at front of house, and the sound coming off the stage was still so loud you knew you were going to get a visit from the head deacon or usher before the first chorus? Or how…

A concert sound system is, in reality, two completely separate sound systems, joined at the hip by a split snake. Each system requires a skilled engineer, but the skill-sets between the two differ vastly. The thing that baffles me is how ill regarded the position of monitor engineer is among my brethren. It can be easily argued and defended that the monitor engineer works twice as hard as everyone else on the crew, unless he/she is lucky enough to have…

This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. I know a lot of churches that mix monitors from front of house. For most of my church career, that’s been the case. To be sure, having a dedicated monitor position, console and engineer is a lot easier, but it’s not practical for most of us. And while we’d all love to have all our musicians and vocalists on in-ears, wedges still are a fact of life for many churches. For most of…

Stage volume, stage volume, stage volume. I think if I have said it once, I have said it a million times. But about four months ago, while in a rehearsal, I had been preaching in-ears, in-ears, in-ears, and then BANG it hit me. Sometimes they do play better without the in-ears! I want to be able to do the best possible mix, but sometimes, as audio engineers we can stifle the creativeness and enthusiasm on stage by the constraints that…
