Church Sound Files: In The End They’re Just Tools
Mike Sessler 12/07/10 09:56 AM, 1 CommentThis article is provided by ChurchTechArts. The other day, I was going through my show file for our upcoming Christmas production. It’s a massive show and we’re doing all kinds of tricks with the SD8. This got me to thinking about how blessed we are here at Coast Hills to have these great tools at our disposal. We have an amazing facility, the SD8, a deep mic locker (though I still want a few more…), a decent lighting rig… View this post

Danley Loudspeakers & Ashly DSP The Choice Of Pennsylvania Church
PSW Staff 12/07/10 09:00 AM, 0 CommentsHollowell Brethren in Christ Church is nestled among the farm fields and southern slopes of the Appalachian Mountains near Waynesboro, Pennsylvania.

Steve Christiano of G.A.D.G.e.T. Media (Maryland) came on board, even though he was dubious about the prospect of building the lowly ‘gymnatorium.’ But careful planning,… View this post

Monday, December 06, 2010Maximize Your Church Sound Mix: A Step-By-Step Guide Through A Mixing Console
Gary Zandstra 12/06/10 09:00 AM, 0 CommentsGood 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 post

Mike Sessler 11/30/10 09:32 AM, 3 CommentsThis article is provided by ChurchTechArts. I was watching something on TV the other day and after hearing multiple “plosives” (P’s and B’s and T’s) just booming away through my speakers, I quipped, “Can we please get a high pass on that mic!” Then I realized there still may be a number of young sound guys/gals (YSG’s) out there who are not yet acquainted with the high pass filter (HPF). Allow me to make the introduction. The high pass… View this post

Church Sound Basics: Test Your Cables On A Regular Basis To Ensure Reliable System Performance
Gary Zandstra 11/29/10 10:04 AM, 1 CommentOperating the sound system from the mix position during a recent Sunday worship service, it all began when the first note from our grand piano was distorted. Hmm… We’d checked the piano channel and sound prior to the service, and all was fine. My first reaction to the distortion being produced was to reduce the gain on that console channel, thinking perhaps the piano player was nailing the keys very hard. Yet the problem remained. Next, I did a pre-fade… View this post
