Hey gents,
So my church just went under contract on an existing building!! (7 months to no more load in and set up?!?!)
The building is currently a bowling alley and would be stripped and renovated completely.
The sanctuary space is going to be 100 feet wide by 65 feet deep. Floor to ceiling is aprox 15 feet. It's an open ceiling, metal trussing and HVAC are present at the top, think commercial building. The stage will be a typical proscenium stage with a 4 steps up that are retractable. Aprox seating capacity will be between 450-500.
I would love to put in JBL PRX, here's why. We often do a few weeks outside in the summer as well as a few community wide events outside and if we could have powered speakers that is a big plus for us. We could simply un-mount them and take them with us! Here's the downside. If I use PRX that uses almost the entire budget for all things sound related.
We don't need to buy a bunch of sound stuff, we have a presonus 24.4.2, senheiser IEM's etc so we are pretty well set other than our main's and sub's, plus new cabling, drum shielding, sound dampening, etc.
Here's what we have now. We are currently running 2 Electro-voice LiveX 15's powered (1 year old), 2 really old (12 years) Mackie SRM450's and two really old (12 years) Mackie 15 subs.
So here's my question, would it be a terrible idea to downgrade and match our existing Electro-Voice LiveX's?
Maybe get 4 more tops and 4 of their 18" subs? Would that cover and how much am I loosing sound wise?
The answer I would like to present to the elders and building committee is lets bring someone in, however, in rural Colorado the cost to bring someone in is astronomical and probably not going to happen.
HELP!
