PSW Staff 08/25/09 03:24 PM, 0 CommentsThe Christian Life Assembly (CLA) Church in Langley, British Columbia is a tech-savvy multi-campus congregation that offers both media streaming and podcast downloads of its services from its website. When the church began an extensive upgrade of its facilities last year, a new sound reinforcement system for its 1,500-seat sanctuary was high on its list of priorities. The new system is headed by three EAW KF730 compact line arrays, SB730 compact line array subwoofers and SB1000z large-format subwoofers supporting program… View this story

Kent Morris 08/21/09 02:38 PM, 0 CommentsThe mistakes worship teams commit while approaching God do not preclude His presence, but they do erect obstacles to the flow of the Holy Spirit. Here, then, are 10 common errors churches can avoid in the pursuit of God: 1. Turning minor errors into public spectacles. When a vocalist forgets to turn on a wireless microphone or a technician commits a track cueing error, the worst thing a worship leader can do is to proclaim the mistake to the entire… View this story

Jeff Lange 08/09/09 01:42 PM, 0 CommentsThe design of a new sound system for the sanctuary of The Pentecostals of the Fox Cities in Menasha, WI, was particularly challenging. This 500-seat auditorium has a 12-foot ceiling, dictating loudspeakers that are very compact in order to not detract from the room’s aesthetics. To meet this requirement, we chose premium two-way loudspeakers, with six of these cabinets flown in their horizontal cabinet position (with mid/high-frequency horns rotated), carefully placed in a distributed, decentralized arrangement. Largely due to compact… View this story

Lee Hartman and Sons of Roanoke, VA, a design/build firm providing A/V solutions, was contracted to handle New Life Christian Ministries’ sound system revitalization, utilizing line arrays and loudspeakers from Greensboro, NC-based WorxAudio Technologies. “The original system was mounted up in the soffit over the… View this story

Jon Baumgartner 07/09/09 11:54 AM, 0 CommentsGreetings! This article discusses loudspeaker placement in houses of worship. Note that if your application is live portable/touring sound, weekend band, or other application, please contact me (see below) for a more application-specific discussion of your needs because those applications can be vastly different than the installed systems discussed here. The decision on the location of your sanctuary main and monitor loudspeakers will have a decided impact on the success of your presentation. A single source of sound is best… View this story

Chuck Wilson 06/30/09 10:33 AM, 0 CommentsWhen working with sound at church, we all know just how many things can go wrong. The kicker is usually when they go wrong, which invariably seems to be at the worst possible moment. The church I belong to, like most, doesn’t have a great sound system. We sure would like to have one, but like many, we’ve chosen to “make do” over the years. One day, I asked the senior pastor what his primary goal would be if we… View this story

Dan Redman, president of Spinnaker Multimedia Solutions (Malvern, PA), audio-video-lighting (AVL) integrator for the project, explains: “Everything had been moving forward nicely when the builder hit bedrock in the foundation causing a delay in the project. About that time, our rep called to say Allen & Heath had announced the iLive-T at the NAMM show.… View this story
