What do all those knobs do?
Here’s a quick test – ask a member of your sound team, “What does the input gain control on each channel of the sound console do?” This is a basic question to ask a sound system operator. If they look at you as if you’ve just spoken to them in Mandarin Chinese, you really need this information!
You, or sound team members from your church, have possibly
attended one of the many “Sound System Training Seminars” which are held in the
area. These seminars bring large groups to auditoriums where lectures are
conducted to train people how to run sound systems. This method is virtually
worthless — and I’ll prove it, right now.
A piano has a row of “keys” that you press with your fingers. These keys are
attached to small levers with little hammers that strike different strings when
you press them. There - I just taught you how to play the piano. No, I just told
you how a piano worked yet this is the same manner of sound system “training”
you’ll receive at most seminars.
Learning to operate a sound system properly, like learning to play a piano,
demands a “hands on” approach – and practice.
Imagine trying to teach someone to type, or play any instrument, or run a sound
system, or do anything - just by lecturing to them. To learn, you must do.
We can show you a better way. We come to you – and guide you and
your sound team to properly understand your equipment. You turn the knobs – you
see and hear the results.
We’ll help you learn in a very easy to understand way – by actually showing you
what is going on – and why. We can give you the confidence to set
up and run your audio console with professional results you and your
congregation will hear!
