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

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

Curt Taipale 06/08/11 02:12 PM, 2 CommentsLet’s take a poll: how many of you use a road map to find the most efficient route to get where you’re going? Wow, a couple of folks actually raised a hand! It may seem odd, but one of the best ways to understand how to operate a mixing console is to learn its signal flow. Figure out a simple road map that illustrates how the signal gets from the input to various outputs. Without this understanding, then the likely… View this story

The sanctuary was built in 1964, with a classic “shoebox” shape and a capacity of about 450.

Rob Stam 05/27/10 02:25 PM, 0 CommentsWhat am I trying to accomplish? It’s a question we should probably be asking ourselves, as church sound operators, on a daily basis. In today’s rapid-paced society, where exciting new changes are mixed with fear and turmoil, the result can be a feeling of spinning in circles with no direction or purpose. This is quite visible at many churches. It’s almost become a marketing battle as to who can do the most to keep people coming in the doors. As… View this story

Bobby Owsinski 11/18/09 09:45 AM, 1 CommentClick here to read part 1 of this article. The sound team leader should develop job descriptions for each position. Most churches have a wide range of sound support needs, and each task is unique. Youth groups, various adult ministries, children’s groups, dramatic presentations, and regular Sunday services could all utilize different sound systems. You will help yourself and your team if you prepare a detailed description of setup and striking procedures, as well as operational requirements, insights, and tips.… View this story
