Choosing the Right Mixers for Your Channel Count
This might seem like a basic question, but how you answer this question has potentially far-reaching consequences. My method is looking 5 years into the future and starting with where the needs of the sound system and input sources will likely be in that amount of time. This helps focus leadership to thinking about where growth is likely to occur, what goals can or should be achieved in that span of time, and how that affects the needs of the sound system.
Generally, my experience has shown churches tend to want a slightly higher channel count, if only to have the additional flexibility. This has tended to be a jump of about 8 channels or so. It’s rare to see a church move from a 16-channel mixer to a 32-channel or larger mixer. It does happen, but only if there is a plan for aggressive growth in the worship ministry.

Great Bridge Baptist Church in Chesapeake, Virginia has an uncompromising commitment to reflecting God’s love and building loving relationships. Its contemporary-style services lift spirits with music provided by an orchestra, a choir, and a praise band. It’s a big production, but until recently, all of that effort only partially connected because the existing sound reinforcement system’s coverage of Great Bridge Baptist Church’s 1,500-plus seats was far from ideal. Regional AV integration firm RTW Media, based in Richmond – serving the Virginia/DC/Maryland areas – designed and installed a big-impact, small-footprint sound reinforcement system centered on Danley Sound Lab’s efficient point-source products. Using the patented technologies of acoustical maverick Tom Danley, the Danley boxes give Great Bridge Baptist Church remarkably even coverage from front to back and from side to side, in the balconies, under the balconies, and even on the stage and in the orchestra pit.
