5 years later... does everyone have the same opinion? any updates?

We are making short (2-6 min) announcement videos for our church every week. The quality of sound is horrific and it was recommended we get a shotgun style mic to increase the quality. The attachment that was recommended was a Shure VP83F or VP83. Was wondering if anyone had...

We are looking at using one of these options for front fills in our worship center. We will be pairing them with a subwoofer from the same brand. Thoughts, Concerns, Ideas, Suggestions?Thanks.

Hi,I work for a church and our TASCAM CD recorder died this weekend. We use it to record a CD version of the presenter and sometimes live music - the CD is then uploaded to itunes as a podcast using a PowerMac G5. We are looking to replace it (Tascam not PowerMac). What is your...

I have been assigned the task of mounting a camera above the baptismal at church. I am looking for a camera/camcorder that can be remotely turned on and off, for the camera will be mounted higher than I can reach. It will be connected to a projector either through HDMI or RGB. I know little...

I have two Sennheiser EW100 G2 hand-held microphones with receivers and we are at a point of replacing them. This is for a house of worship with city power lines running over the back of our property. The sanctuary has three JBL cabinets mounted from the ceiling and directly above the stage...

Thanks everyone! We got it to work :-) comments are much appreciated.

We are demoing a Strand 200 plus 12/24 this week as we consider purchasing it. They sent us home with the board and a K9 LED Par64 Bulldog. We are struggling on having them communicate with each other. Any suggestions?Also, does anyone have any pros and cons about the board?

"...adding LEDs to your existing system, not eliminating any lights you currently have." This is correct, no lights will be eliminated and the structure in which they are set will most likely remain."I didn't see that you listed which console you have need to replace" The NSI 7000 24 channel...

I think I am looking at something wrong, maybe someone can help for earlier this year I was asked to look into the issues with our lights and have been thrust into some new territory.First the wiring layout in our church:Dimmer packs are daisy chained - one controls the stage lights (pars...

"replace the two NRD-8000's with one NDS12-2KO dimmer rack" - Question: can the NDS12 work with the house lights being plugged into it and the stage lighting, in that when I walk into the auditorium and flip on the light switch, just the house lights will turn on? and then when the board is...

It's official our church lighting system is going down for the count. Thus I have to present a budget for all new (or new to us) equipment. As I looked at our lighting config. the switch in the auditorium turn on the just the house lights to full-on. Then when the lighting board (NSI) is...

I am curious as to what your target audience is: youth, young adults, families, outreach oriented, etc. I would suggest looking beyond the church for support and see if there are programs in your area like campus crusades, young life, ywam, etc. that would come along side you and support this...

Thanks for the input. We did start looking at LED lighting last year when we were doing a Christmas production, however, from the current position of the lighting bar (back of the room, not mounted to the ceiling) the ones we were using didn't throw as far or precise as our pars did. We...
