The back panel offers… View this story

Pat Brown 10/03/11 08:51 AM, 2 CommentsA letter to a church building committee might read: Thank you again for the opportunity to provide you with a proposal for the sound system for your house of worship. While we appreciate your interest in “good stewardship” in the funding of this project, and understand your request for “church pricing” for the work, the following points should be kept in mind when determining the best value for the dollars spent. #1 - Dynamic Range Church sanctuaries are usually quieter… View this story

Curt Taipale 09/21/11 05:09 PM,Audio consultants often find themselves working with people in churches who seem eternally bent on saving money at any cost. This is the kind of church that will call with the seemingly innocent request to have the consultant design a new sound system for them. At some point in the conversation they’ll add that they want to do the installation themselves. That approach can be a mixed blessing both for the consultant and for the church. On the one hand,… View this story

Keith Clark 09/06/11 03:13 PM, 0 CommentsThe heavy rains of the previous day were long gone and the skies crystal clear when I arrived at Coney Island in Brooklyn early on the morning of July 4 to check out the sound reinforcement for the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. The annual competitive-eating competition, organized by Shea Communications, features a field of about 20 contestants from the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE) converging on Nathan’s Famous Corporation’s original restaurant at the corner of Surf and Stillwell… View this story

PSW Staff 08/05/11 12:27 PM, 0 CommentsIn the beginning there was the Word. As the congregation grew, sound reinforcement was needed to hear clearly at the back of the sanctuary. Few sound systems have as many challenges as those installed in modern houses of worship. Contemporary worship services have incorporated rock bands and have ambitions that rival corporate and theatrical productions. The service is often a cross between a high school musical and a Broadway show – all on a mission from God. Expectations are high,… View this story

Peter Patrick 08/03/11 05:22 PM, 3 CommentsIn every project there are always a number of driving factors. However, determining the importance of each is key. Use this checklist to carefully assess your system needs and you’ll be well on your way to a successful church sound system project. Priority of room purposes? This is critical when room acoustics are considered. Congregational singing benefits from strong room reflections, which naturally reinforce the singers voices. An acoustically “dead” space makes singing uncomfortable. On the other hand, the strength… View this story

Mike Slattery 08/03/11 10:59 AM, 0 CommentsThis article is provided by Rane Corporation. Large conference rooms require speech reinforcement so people at all locations can adequately hear each other. To perform speech reinforcement without acoustic feedback is difficult, add conferencing and it becomes complex. Controlling Acoustic Levels The following operations neglect any effect of room echo or room acoustics. Terms used for calculating properties: • D0: Distance from talker to the farthest listener. • D1: Distance from the source mic to the nearest loudspeaker. •… View this story

Peter Janis 08/01/11 02:19 PM, 0 CommentsAn interesting development has occurred in recent times: folks have become much more aware that the acoustic space plays a critical role with respect to the final sound of the room. In other words, unless you “fix the room,” changing the sound system may in fact not solve the problem at all. And truth be known, bringing the room acoustics up to an “acceptable level” is often actually easier than setting up a PA system! Testing One, Two, Clap Go… View this story

Mike Sessler 07/27/11 06:13 PM, 3 CommentsThis article is provided by ChurchTechArts. On Twitter, @busyscott asked if I knew of any “How To” guides for building a portable sound system. I thought for a while, and realized I couldn’t think of any. So I thought I’d write up a Reader’s Digest condensed version. This won’t be comprehensive, but will have a few thoughts on what I consider important for portable system design. Of course, all these ideas need to be considered in light of your… View this story
