PSW Staff 02/12/12 04:00 PM,Regina Victory Church, a contemporary Christian church in Regina, Saskatchewan (Canada) that features six musicians and five vocalists during worship services, recently replaced its analog console with a new Yamaha M7CL-48ES EtherSound-based digital console, courtesy of GV Audio, also located in Regina. “The church’s console was starting to show its age and needing much service work,” states Derek Gould, at GV Audio. “The console and snake both had issues, so it seemed logical to address both at the same time.”… View this story

PSW Staff 02/12/12 02:59 PM,More than a decade has passed since Fr. Michael Froidurot and the planning committee at St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church in Poway, CA, set in motion their vision for a new worship space. Recently, the church unveiled their long-awaited new sanctuary to applause from the congregation and accolades from the surrounding south Poway community. Designed in traditional cruciform style by design-build contractor T. B. Penick & Sons, Inc. and architects Hyndman & Hyndman, the church’s patience and planning are clearly evident… View this story

Jon Baumgartner 02/10/12 02:48 PM,On more than one occasion, I’ve been called to a church to inspect the facility for the purpose of designing a new sound system. Upon arrival, I discover that the church has perfectly adequate audio components that have been tuned and balanced perfectly inadequately. It never fails - when I inform the owner that the system is fine and simply needs to be properly tuned, I get the response that the church has just paid somebody several hundred dollars to… View this story

Mike Sokol 02/09/12 10:14 AM,This article is provided by How-To ASSIST Technical Training. If terms such as gain structure, impedance matching and headroom are unfamiliar, or worse, give you a headache, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Most church sound techs would rather have their gear work perfectly right out of the box than have to tweak it into compliance. Nevertheless, when it comes to setting up and operating a sound system, a working knowledge of gain structure (and a few related concepts) will… View this story

Mike Sessler 02/08/12 10:00 AM,This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. Here are some thoughts on doing virtual sound check if you don’t have a DiGiCo or Avid digital console at your disposal. Disclaimer: This is not going to be exhaustive. There are hundreds of hardware/software combinations that will get you the same result. These are some ideas only. Also, it should be noted that “cheap” is a relative term. All of these solutions are going to cost money, real money. However, if you… View this story

Brian Gowing 02/07/12 11:53 AM,This article is provided by Gowing Associates. I’m in the process of helping one of my churches transition from an analog mixer to a digital mixer. They were in need of more channels than their Allen & Heath 16-channel MixWiz with some outboard gear (front of house EQ, couple of compressors, effects unit) could provide. Based on the maximum number of channels that they anticipated needing over the next five years, I recommended the PreSonus StudioLive 24.4, one of… View this story

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
