How Many Mixers Does Your Church Need?

In Audio, Audio Industry News, Continuing Education, home_page, Image, Industry News, Web Articlesby Media

As a church grows, it can be difficult for leadership to know when the purchase of a new mixer is justified and necessary. After all, as a church expands, events and ministries tend to grow in number and frequency, as well.

The answer to how many mixers your church needs is: it depends. If you’re a small church (500 or less), you can probably get away with one mixer in your sanctuary (we call it FOH for front of house) and perhaps a mobile system that can be setup in the fellowship hall or outside for the church picnic, etc.

As a response to the 2020 Covid-19 Pandemic, New Haven Connecticut-based Vox Church recently held three drive-in worship services using dBTechnologies DVA K5 Active Line Arrays and SUB 18H powered subwoofers. A growing church with seven locations, Vox has standardized on these dBTechnologies models for most of their needs and uses them for “load-in/load-out” services in several locations. This simplifies crew training, speeds setup and makes it easy to configure systems for large events like this.

The drive-in system, used for all three services, consisted of left and right arrays of 11 DVA K5s and a 3×3 end-fire cardioid array of SUB 18H subwoofers. Vox Church FOH engineer, Eugene Mulcahy used dBTechnologies Composer software to design and optimize the DVA arrays. “I did everything Composer told me to do,” he said. “And the predictions were right on. We had good audio out to at least 200 feet.”
