Re: Pentecostal Soundmen
We are very blessed at our church with awesome soundmen and a great sound system. Our church is large, so everything is through the system. The organ lesli is backstage, which cuts down on stage volume, and the drums are soundproofed. We have 5 Avioms.....1 for each instrument. We also have several different mixes going at once. We currently 2 mixes on the platform (praise team/choir mix, and pulpit mix) plus the 5 individual personal Aviom mixes. In the house we have two mixes, soon to be 4 mixes. Right now we have the main house mix, and a front fill mix (which is for the alter area). Later on, we plan on adding an under balcony mix and an above balcony mix. We also have two large subs. I don't think they are on their own mix....not sure how they tie in. We have pretty great sound nonetheless.
With all that being said, I don't ever remember hearing out system squeal or distort. We've been in our new building now for 7 years, and it hasn't happened yet. I know I'm bragging...lol.
Let me say, Aviom or the Roland personal monitor mix system is the key to decent sound. Even if you have a lousy soundman. We did not have Aviom in our old building, and we were forever having sound difficulties.....mainly because of to much platform sound. It got rather loud on that platform. When we moved into the new building it was a huge huge difference. So if you could at all invest in this system, it will save you a whole lot of headache. They are expensive, but worth it. I think we spent around $7,000-$8,000 on our Aviom system alone. We spent around $65,000 on the complete package.
