We recently renovated our sanctuary and had an install done where the subwoofer was tied into the lows on the new sound board, in other words, there is no independent control. It was set at what the installer thought was "reasonable."
The reasoning was that sound mixing is too subjective and there is the fear that too much (or too little) of the sub may be introduced into the mix. This is whether our sound techs know what they are doing or not. Needless to say, the worship team is not a fan of this. Neither is the worship director (this was done prior to him being hired).
So, do you folks think this is a good idea or not? The deacon in charge said this is not etched in stone, but has to be persuaded. What would be the best arguments to persuade independent control of the sub, such as tying it into an aux send or something? I realize some of you may want more technical information, but assuming accoustics are okay, as is equipment, I am speaking more about philospohical arguments. Thank you.
