Hi all,

Worked out a system for use in a church with a hall size of about 20 metres x 30 metres x 15 metres high. It will currently only have 100-200 congregations. Would like comments or feedback if possible :)

Hi all,

I am looking at setting the sound system for a church. The size of the hall is not big, probably looking at an area (rectangular) of around 450 and can accomodate more than 300 but on average 100-150 people.

Church will have their own choir/band (singers, guitar, keyboard etc).

Newbie here looking for some suggestions on a very simple setup (compared to what I see in many of the threads here). I need a simple PA system to handle presentations given in small venues (up to 150 people). I saw a recommendation to get the book "Guide to sound systems for worship" and I'll definitely do that.

I am getting older and find myself leaving the bar/club scene, and leaving the full band behind. I have been doing more and more acoustic sets as of late and the old PA system has about had it!

I am looking to upgrade everything starting with speakers first.
I think powered is the way to go just for simplicity reasons, and have been leaning towards the Mackies or JBLs

Imagine having a PA with a speaker in each corner. Obviously the main L and R, but also a speaker in the back L and the back R.

Similar to the quadrophonic style home-theatre from a few decades ago,but for live use.

What would it take to be able to move sound from one speaker to another?

Crown XLS 602 PowerAmp = $350
JBL JRX115 Speakers = $309 (x2)
Shure SM58 = $100
10PC 20' Mic Cabes = $50
LiveWire Speaker Cables(banana-speakon) = $30 (x2)
Yamaha MG16/4
Total System Price = $1420

I have a chance to get this whole system for about a day or two worth of work cutting some trees down .. ( part time job) this gear was used by a marketing company for a 4 string quartette promotion venues, very clean rack mounted pcs.

in lue of cash he will give me the following ( outADATed ) gear

i found this vintage single channel pa system in a second hand store... i want to use the preamp to see if it sounds any good for recording. The tubes seem to be in good condition they look pretty new so i dont think theyt are original. 10 bucks so i said why not.

I am a drummer with an electronic kit and am looking for a PA to use for my drums and the rest of the band. I am considering a Bag End P-S18E-I powered subwoofer. My question relates to the speakers. Is it recommended to use the same brand on top? Will there be time-align problems and if so, how do I correct them? Will any brand give good results?
