Oh, and derekleffew - way to make me feel like an idiot.... I must need to review my basic shaped :) you are right... trapazoid...DUH ME!

Oh, and as for re-aiming the speakers... we have a nice lift that we can borrow, and the one thing done right was rigging on the speakers... the cabling holding it is adjustable... Thanks,

Wow - thx for the information... and i didn't think it was all that off topic! certainly cleared up some misinformation I had! What was told to me was that the builder didn't care about the acoustics, b/c the room was built as a multipurpose room, and the sound people that they hired...

yes, currently we are using a cluster centered above the staged, in a fan array... exactly as you are saying... Guess I will have to see if I can reaim them, and keep them in a center cluster..... we are using a mackie sr32-4 for the mixer, running through a DoD 16 channel EQ, then a...

Oh, and by the way... here are 2 of the sources I am using for some basic information - besides my limited knowledge of things.... This one is written by Peavey http://www.churchandworship.com/04-07/cwt0407w24.pdf and This one -...

Thanks Eboy... sorry for the confusion That was kind of my thought in moving from a cluster array of speakers to a spaced array... and taking care to aim the speakers correctly... I guess my only source of hesitation is that we are running mono bridged signal to the speakers, and the...

it is very reverberant.... but that wasn't the issue I was looking to solve... Sorry... I meant reflection, said reverberance... Wow - what a difference terminology makes :) Sound treatment may be in the future... but looking at the cost of good stuff... it is way off in the future...

Looking back at my original post, I realize I used the term "reverberance" wrongly... I should have said... reflection Sorry...

Thanks MuseAV - You are right, I cannot use the sound system to cover for the acoustics of the room... I am looking to reduce the reflected sound (reflected sound is around 180 degrees out of phase with the original) as well as provide for better coverage, with less dead zones... The idea...

I guess I did leave alot unknown... sorry... not sure on the vertical dispersion angle, but the horizontal is close to 90 degree... each cabinet is identical... not sure of the type of speakers... as the raw drivers have been replaced, I can tell you they are 2 way cabinets, and have hardly...

Ok guys... (warning- long post) We covered the stage volume stuff a while back...but I am back with a need for some advice.... So a basic background I have a typical church - rectangle, with lots of parralel walls and faces... The stage is a parrelelogram, basically... So in attempt to show...

Derek - thanks... I am a beginner, and just trying to soak up everything that I can... terminology is fine, I just don't know it yet, and the glossary on this site doesn't contain a whole lot of it... I don't have a huge problem with left or right, but I have to stop and think about it for a...

So... if our light and sound control is all the way in the rear of the house... so: Stage----audience-----sound and light booth Is that still technically "FOH" as it is not behind the stage? Sorry - I am new to the terminologies.....

The numbering on the NSI's I put up are SL to SR, but I went ahead and plugged in the lights, and addresses the units to be operator left and right... I understand that FOH means operator is in the same area as audience, but what does it stand for? Thanks,

Great News: I got the lights working last night! 4 hours moving around on a lift, and a few new cables! What I found: Because the lightronics packs are running AC down the cable - they will not work with the board we have Since I have a fair amount of electronics/circuit repair...
