Chris Huff 02/06/12 10:36 AM,This article is provided by Behind The Mixer. Haven’t we all had stories of misheard words? It could have been a song lyric or you misheard your spouse? Maybe they mumbled a word or it just wasn’t clear what was said. This has been the cause for a few hilarious moments at our dinner table. The problem is unclear words are a distraction from the message. In the church environment, the pastor’s words must be clear. We can ensure… View this story

PSW Staff 02/03/12 02:09 PM,Home to one of the oldest Catholic congregations in the United States, the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi is sometimes referred to as the heart of Santa Fe, and for good reason. Although the Cathedral Basilica was dedicated in 1887, the site has been a focal point of worship for the community since 1610. The first church built where the current structure now stands was destroyed during the Pueblo Indian Revolt of 1680, but another was built to… View this story

Mike Sessler 02/02/12 09:12 AM,This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. This article, #InstallationFail, has been inspired by the many, many instances of bad installation practices I’ve seen throughout the years. I’ve been taking pictures and cataloging these for quite some time, and I figured it’s time to share them with the world. Now, I should point out I’m not publishing these to make anyone feel bad. Though some of you should feel bad for some of these installations. But that’s not the point.… View this story

Tom Young 01/27/12 02:56 PM,A sound level meter (SLM) is a device used to make frequency-weighted sound pressure level measurements displayed in dB-SPL. 0.0 dB-SPL is the threshold of hearing, and is equal to 20uPa (microPascals). This correlates to what one would aurally perceive when in a deep cave or in a large anechoic chamber. Packaged as a single-function handheld test device, SLMs are intended to be held at arm’s length during measurements (to reduce the effects of the body on the measurements) or… View this story

Mike Sokol 01/25/12 02:25 PM,This article is provided by How-To ASSIST Technical Training. We’ve all been in a fix from time to time when we needed to sum two audio signals into one. Much of the time, we need to convert a stereo signal into mono. The other situation is typically when you need to add the outputs of two mixing boards together, summing the left, right, effects and monitor outputs into common lines so that two boards act as one large mixer.… View this story

Chris Huff 01/24/12 08:54 AM,This article is provided by Behind The Mixer. The first time I heard the word crossover was in the context of “Chris, plug those into the crossover unit.“ I was clueless. I was helping with a live gig setup and even after being told EXACTLY where to plug in the cables, I still didn’t know what the crossover unit did. Funny thing about it, crossovers are easy to understand. Implementation…well, that’s a bit harder. What Is A Crossover Unit?… View this story

PSW Staff 01/24/12 07:06 AM,St Paul’s Methodist Episcopal Church (presently known as St Paul’s United Methodist Church) in Cedar Rapids, Iowa is listed on the United State’s National Register of Historic Places and is essentially the work of architect Louis Sullivan, the so-called “father of skyscrapers.” Sullivan’s aspirations however, were high, beyond what the church’s congregation could reasonably afford back in 1912. The restraint exercised back then by architect W.C. Jones, when he re-drew Sullivan’s plans under instruction from the church, meant that two… View this story

PSW Staff 01/23/12 12:17 PM,New Hope Baptist Church in Atlantic City, which offers contemporary-style worship services in a sanctuary that seats 250, called upon ACIR Professional (Egg Harbor Township, N.J.) for new main loudspeakers as well as their installation. ACIR recommended Yamaha DSR112CA self-powered loudspeakers, to be joined later this year by Yamaha DSR118s subwoofers. Bobby Harper of ACIR notes that size, weight, price, and especially sonic performance were the deciding factors in selecting the dual DSR loudspeakers that are flown above the front… View this story

PSW Staff 01/16/12 12:17 PM, 0 CommentsNestled in the rolling canyons of Pacific Palisades, California, Saint Matthew’s Episcopal Church is one of the area’s oldest and largest parishes. The sprawling 42-acre grounds are home to multiple buildings including St. Matthew’s Day School and Pre School, as well as recreational facilities and the acclaimed Moore Ruble Yudell-designed sanctuary. While wonderful to behold, the sanctuary’s stunning architecture, with its soaring ceilings and exquisite glass work, has long suffered from problematic acoustics. As Daniel Bae, project manager for Sierra… View this story

Casey Watson 01/10/12 01:45 PM,This article is provided by Church Audio Video. When a loudspeaker or sound source is placed in a corner so it is near three surfaces (like the junction between two walls and the floor), it is said to be in 1/2 space. This is similar to the concept of 1/2 space (up against one wall) and 1/4 space (at a junction between two walls). When sound sources are placed near surfaces in this way, more of the energy moves… View this story
