    In this video, you'll see all the sound and lighting gear that my small church (75-100 people) uses every single week.
    WARNING: This is not a "super impressive set up." It is not "epic." It is not necessarily "what you should buy for your church." It is simply a REALISTIC example of what small churches use to make their worship gatherings happen.
    In fact, I'm not even trying to convince you to buy any of this stuff! Honestly - you COULDN'T even buy some of it if you wanted to because we got it 10 years ago and it's discontinued now.
    That being said, if you see anything you want to check out here are links to what I went over in the video (or equivalent gear):

    Praise God my brother, we came from a small church to that was a storefront then moved to the “Tabernacle” we call it with seats about 250 people and it has a balcony, then we moved to the Cathedral which holds almost 1000, awesome sounds system, lighting, clusters in the ceiling, a baptistery up on the wall, a second floor full of classrooms and a video room and a library and all that, but then had a split and had to sell that building and move back to the tabernacle, but I think God for the tabernacle. Since we moved back, more people started coming back to the church because our cathedral size building was too far and out in the middle of nowhere. We took some of the gear that we had from up there back to our medium sized tabernacle church, and we just got blessed with the Behringer XR 18 since the old Analog Peavey 32 channel board that we had from years ago started acting up. We realized that we didn’t need all 32 channels anymore and that 18 will be just fine for right now. That digital mixer will change your whole life. Now I don’t have to panic if one of our Sound guys are not there or running late, I could play my keyboards in confidence and don’t have to panic, I can control the system by my iPad which is right above my keyboards. We don’t use in years at all, since we have enough wedges up there for everyone including two for me. But if you get additional mixer, things will be so much better and easier.You won’t need a sound room at all.

    Thank you for a wonderfully refreshing video on your gear and why you have it. I am in the same position as you. I've been doing the sound at our church using a Behringer Eurodesk 2442 FX analog mixer, powered stage wedges and passive FOH speakers. My struggle was with the worship team wanting to hear themselves louder with the stage monitors, which totally destroyed the FOH sound. They were more interested in themselves than the church as a whole. After almost 7 years of this (and me wanting to quit more than one time), I decided to spend from my US gov't retirement pension and replace the equipment and try going IEM. Since I would be paying for it, it had to be inexpensive and I had to re-use what we had. I went Behringer XR18, the cheapest laptop and tablet I could find and an wireless router. I used the "old" snake which as 24 inputs and 4 AUX sends, same amp, FOH speakers, but got rid of monitors.
    For IEM's, I bought AliExpress KZ ZST's, and for stationary musicians, used Behringer HA8000 headphone amp on stage, and for the wireless IEM system, AliExpress again with ERZhen In Ear Wireless Stage Monitor System 4 body pack. It was a gamble, but anything else would have cost way much more. The receivers are cheaply made and the plastic battery door is flimsy, but they work. Not stereo, but the sound quality is "ok". Replaced IEM with KZ's. Now, with digital mixer, they control their own mix. No more "I can't hear myself". I have the singers on one channel so they have to learn to work together with no one dominating the IEM mix. Stage singers use wireless mics (Amazon.co.uk), everyone else is wired.
    I set the gear up at home and was fearful about the first Sunday service with it. After service, the congregation was talking to the worship team how great things sounded. I haven't looked back at going analog. No way. I added a Behringer X-Touch Universal because I like sliders, but still use the laptop for quick adjustments, and the tablet for walking around listening and if there is a problem on stage.
    The XR18 was way cheaper than any version of the X32.

    Feels good to hear a small church tech tour. I always felt bad as a kid leading worship in my dad's mission church in Indian slums. We used to make our own mikes by buying a good sm58 coil and solder stuff into place inside any old junk microphone body, due to budget constraints. Now I do have my own personal digital pro set with an x32 mixer and so on. But nothing feels as good as leading ministry in those old days.

    I love the "We use what we have" thing. It’s the same for my church whose congregation is about the same size. Up until the beginning of this year we were on an analog 24 channel mixer too. But I have to say I am SUPER GLAD about all the things I can do on our digital mixer that we have now.
    I actually have a few things on my mind I think you could improve or at least try out, assuming you haven’t already.
    1) Build some DIY absorbers and spread them across the walls of the auditorium. It doesn’t substitute a professional coming in and coming up with an acoustics concept. But one of these is a cheap option and the other is not. ;) Absorbers would be the quickest and by far most effective way of improving speech intelligibility and sound clarity in your auditorium, hands down.
    2) AFTER you do that, buy a stereo graphic EQ and tune the PA to your room.
    3) On the cajon, you might try swapping the SM57 and the 849. I haven’t used the 849 but chaces are it’ll pick up the low end much better than the SM57 which has very little sub bass but emphasizes the 200 Hz range. I think swapping them could potentially make your life easier when EQing them to get proper sonic separation.
    4) I don’t know exactly what your cajon player uses in addition and how, but the way the third mic is positioned, you are likely to get some phase cancellation between the Audio Technica mic and the Shure 849. If it’s possible (meaning you can’t restrict the player’s mobility of course), try positioning the third mic in a way that it points only at the extra instruments, but away from the cajon as much as possible.
    5) Maybe not super important, but it would be nicer to have all power amps in the stage area. It’s best practice to keep high power lines as short as possible. Btw what’s funny is that my church uses one of those power amps for wedges too. The funny thing is: we never use the power switch on it because it’s hooked up to a switchable power multi socket. Might try the same thing so you don’t have to mess around with those switches anymore?
    Btw that pad setup has got to be the funniest but coolest thing on stage I’ve seen in a long time!!! :D
    And I think you guys did a wonderful job with that combination of wood and carpets on the stage.
    And one more thing: I’m a huge fan of the Taylor 214ce. You have great taste in guitars, sir.

    It’s cost cheaper then if we’re gonna talk about passive stuff!!!!!!!
    So you guys go ahead and check it out; active is mach better then price of an amplifier, then the speakers...
    But: don’t forget to install SPD protection for each speaker !! SPD protect all your gear from lightning strikes throughout electric circuit!!

    Great video and honest, no-frills approach - thank you!
    We're in the process of looking for a new mixing desk so this is interesting. The Allen & Heath Qu-16 looks great, and the QSnake stage box avoids the thick cable (Cat5 Ethernet instead) plus it affords more inputs & outputs than a conventional snake. But we have all that to do.
    We also changed from projector and screen to large TVs due to God's wonderful Sunday morning sunlight (who needs stage lighting?) obliterating the image on the big screen. TVs are so much better due to the higher contrast and clarity, and far more manageable, with two 60inch at the front and one 50inch at the back for the leader. EasyWorship manages all of the media smoothly, but PowerPoint files are imported as songs and readings can be styled up more effectively.
    I have no idea what the 'pad' does, and I hate cajons; drums are far better, but that's just my subjective opinion.
    It's great to be able to share this with fellow Christian techies.

    Have you tried OpenLP? It's a good open source alternativ to ProPresenter. At my Church we started with SongBeamer, moved on to OpenLP because of more functionality. After a year or so we tried ProPresenter, but found OpenLP a better fit for our needs.
    Also if your amps are working fine besides those switches i'd just replace that switch

      I am going to guess for him. The amp in the back is the FOH. With for monitor wedges, one channel for each wedge is 2 stereo amps on stage. Assuming the board is using 4 sends for the 4 monitors.

      @LeadingWorshipWell  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Honestly, I'm not sure you can "kill the echo." You can do things to lessen it but, at the end of the day, you're still in a room with a concrete floor. A few things that help: add carpet to the floor (we considered adding runners down our isles but ultimately decided against it), fill your room with chairs and people.

    Analog isn’t necessarily bad. For small, low budget churches, analog tends to be the best solution. Digital boards are better for larger churches with more channels of audio or for churches that want to use Dante.

      Digital boards will replace a large portion of outboard gear if your church is using reverb, compressors, EQs, etc. Having a screen with full EQ is a step above Low, Sweepable Mid, and High tone on each channel + compression. If you don't use FX, EQ, and compression, you are not ready for digital.

    • @egg6649
      @egg6649 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you are mixing a morning service you should not be hitting 100dB. You want max 90, 95 peaks, anything over that will damage hearing, and will probably be simply unpleasant, unless your building is acoustically amazing. (Or you are outside, which is why concerts can be so loud)

  • @isettech
    @isettech 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A common issue with mid size power amps is when they are first turned on, the switch takes the hit of a shorted power supply because all the large filter caps are at 0 volts, which pits and burns the contacts on each operation. Larger amps have soft start, which is a gradual turn on performing a pre-charge with a current limiting resistor before the main relay turns on, or has a solid state relay for the main power switching. This pitting can be reduced by leaving the power switches on and using a sound system power sequencer. Most of those have some sort of soft turn on for the main amps. If the amps perform well, please get them repaired instead of buying new amps. A switch and techniciain's time is much less expensive than a new amp. Are there anyone in the congregation who is or knows an electronics technician who can change the switch? If you can afford it, adding the house lights to a dimmer on your DMX can improve candle light services, videos, and other activities needing the house lights dimmed. Also recommend addressing each PAR light individually and using the console to create scenes. This enables playback of themes in lighting for Easter, Christmas, Independance, or other special occasions. By using the fade time slider, you can have smooth timed fades between scenes. Find someone interested in programming the lights and scenes in the console. We have different scenes for Offering, Congregational singing, Sermon, Videos, and special occasions.

    Yikes, that Amp with the faulty switch looks dangerous. I’d say just put all the monitors just on one amp and take the faulty one off, so it doesn’t start a fire. Plus, if you get a digital mixer, you won’t even need a sound room, you definitely won’t have to have your Sound Man in the boiler room next to the heaters,And life will be much easier.
