Mike Sessler 06/17/13 10:28 AM,This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. Getting a vocalist’s monitor mix right can often be the difference between a smooth worship experience and a difficult one; at least from a musical perspective. The trouble is not typically lack of talent but an artist having a hard time determining what they really need in a monitor mix along with difficulty in communicating those desires to the engineer. Knowing the difficulties so many people have, I wanted to give both vocalists… View this story

Dale Alexander 06/11/13 09:01 AM,The process of accurately assessing the systems and related factors at any church can be tricky business, and in particular, at an existing church. The key in every situation is to make a candid and complete assessment of the entire facility and equipment, taking into account many other important (and related) factors as well. There are so many variables to be considered, but it all starts with determining where the church currently is right now both in its system usage… View this story

Tom Walter 06/10/13 01:11 PM,As the only “audio guru” in my subdivision, I regularly field a variety of questions ranging from product reviews on brand-name table radios to “are these guys ripping me off?” When I interface with the architectural design community, I get the same questions in addition to one more: “How much will the cost be for a sound system for this particular space?” Most often, the conversation focuses on church venues, and as this information is not yet available from construction… View this story

PSW Staff 06/10/13 09:41 AM,Michael Matta of South River, NJ-based GMT Electronics recently installed a Soundcraft Si Expression 3 console at St. Mary’s Coptic Orthodox Church in East Brunswick, NJ. Matta also purchased a Soundcraft Si Expression 1 for GMT Electronics for a variety of applications. When considering a new console for St. Mary’s, Matta required a board that offers ease of use and high-quality mixing capabilities. “What I like about the Si Expression is its simplicity because you don’t have to use a… View this story

Brian Gowing 06/07/13 11:39 AM,This article is provided by Gowing Associates. A couple of issues that arose in a couple of the churches I support bred the title for this post. I realized after these events that it’s sometimes hard for techie types to think outside of the technical box. They sometimes get so focused that they can’t see the forest for the trees. Some of this is due to not having enough technical knowledge and experience. Some of it is due to… View this story

PSW Staff 06/07/13 06:43 AM,Salt Lake City’s 21,000-seat LDS Conference Center, the main meeting hall for conferences of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and summer and Christmas holiday home to the famed Mormon Tabernacle Choir, recently expanded its sound reinforcement system with the addition of new L-Acoustics KARAi, SB18i and KIVA arrays. Installed by Poll Sound, L-Acoustics’ local Certified Provider for install, rental and distribution channels, the new systems—which are primarily used for speech reinforcement and musical augmentation—complement an existing dV-DOSC… View this story

John Mills 06/06/13 11:04 AM,When I first began doing sound, I bought a great set of headphones. I thought to myself - if I’m going to be expected to make something sound good, I should probably know what I’m shooting for. So I started listening (like crazy) to CDs. Not just bands or styles I liked, but anything and everything I could get my hands on. I listened to the lyrics, chords, melodies and harmonies, but also to how it all fit together. I… View this story

Curt Taipale 06/05/13 02:03 PM,This article is provided by Church Soundcheck Who is soundcheck for, anyway? Sounds like a silly question, at least until you start talking with the worship teams and tech crews at a lot of churches. Then the realization begins that in fact there are some different perspectives floating around out there. From my perspective as an audio engineer, soundcheck is not the process of setting up the microphones or making sure that everything is working properly, and it’s not… View this story

Gary Zandstra 06/03/13 06:50 PM,Good church sound often crescendos or crashes at the mixing board. A new whiz-bang mixing console will not improve the quality of sound one bit if your sound system is flawed in design, doesn’t have enough amplification, delivers uneven coverage, or has poor system processing. But even if all of that is in sync, the board can still fail to orchestrate good sound if a sound engineer isn’t operating it properly. A Complex Board I’ve trained sound technicians in church… View this story

PSW Staff 06/03/13 01:30 PM,As an integral part of the Roman Catholic Our Lady of Peace parish, St. Joseph’s Church in Ashtabula, OH, has been serving the community since the 1930s. Built in the traditional style and able to hold up to 300 people, St. Joseph’s has an older congregation and, according to Pastor Father Raymond Thomas, “some of our community have hearing impairment problems which presented special challenges for our original microphone system. They couldn’t hear my voice because the sound cut out… View this story
