Mastering In-Ear Monitoring for Your Worship Team
DOUG GOULD | WorshipMD | Lawrenceville, NJ
Are you already using personal monitors but looking to unlock their full potential for your worship team? Or are you still relying on wedges (floor monitors) and wondering how to make the transition to in-ears? You may be asking: What's the cost? Which products are the best fit for our church? How do we seamlessly integrate them into our existing system? Join us for this comprehensive workshop where we'll tackle these questions and more, helping you take your worship team's sound to the next level.
Sound Systems for the Portable and Small Church
DOUG GOULD | WorshipMD | Lawrenceville, NJ
Many of our churches meet in rented spaces, including mine. Getting the gear set up and taken down fast is a huge advantage in this environment - saving both time and money! This class will illustrate how easy systems can be to set up and operate, even by volunteers with little to modest skill levels. We will demostrate the scalability of these systems so that as the church grows, the system capabilities can grow as well. We'll discuss loudspeakers, audio mixers for the sanctuary and stage and why you would want to consider digital technology for presets and recall, which will facilitate fast and repeatable set-up and operation.
