Audio Equipment
Podcasting doesn't require much in the area of mixers. Very low end mixers from Behringer, M-Audio or Alesis will do the trick. For the WELSTech podcast we use the Alesis MultiMix 8 Firewire mixer. The firewire component allows us to send different channels directly to the computer where Adobe Audition records them on different tracks. This makes things really easier for later editing.

On the Sound side, this is what we had installed: An Allen Heath PA12 Mixer installed (looks quite complicated, but after it is explained, it's a lot easier to understand); a Shure 2x2 Digital System Processor; a QSC GX3 Power amplifier; a Community Veris3294-WH Loudspeaker which hangs from the ceiling; a Telex FMR-500/AM-17T.03 Headworn Wireless mic for the pastor; an E/V N/D478 Microphone for choir and Sunday school singing; 2 Atlas Sound Mic Stands/Boom Arms/ with 25' Cords. For the operator of the system, we had them install A/T Noise cancelling headphones. To keep all of the equipment in one location, we had them install a Mid Atlantic RK-12 Equipment rack. There is a Furman PS8R Seq. Power Panel; a we had Rapco DP4-DFS Jacks installed, 3 for microphone and 1 for a monitor.

We have been using Sweetwater as our vendor for audio replacement products over the past 4 years. For a church of 115 confirmed members, we have stuck to the basics in audio. The old system created cassette tapes for shut-ins. We now pull the mixer's output off the tape out ports through an Edirol interface into a MacBook running Audacity. I set it 5 minutes prior to service and shut it off after the service. Then I edit the Audacity file and post it for the podcast. We have a Crown amp, Furman power conditioner, 3 Shure microphone at alter, pulpit and lecturn, and a new hanging microphone for the choir loft / balcony. A 4 port XLR mixer with 2 additional 1/4" audio inputs (one used for wireless hand held mic used in confirmation and Christmas services). We use Peaveysanctuaryseries speakers (2) in thesanctuary.

Watch
We at Bethlehem make extensive use of Behringer audio products, which tend to run about half the price of comparable products and still deliver darned good results. That allowed us to add compressors to our audio systems, which I've found to be incredibly important to dellivering quality results, especially when untrained people such as children are using mics.
We run four wired condenser mics and one wireless mic to record services, and have the ability to bring audio from the piano and external audio devices into our soundboard that then goes to a PC that now runs Adobe CS4 for production. The A/V goes to a 4 output NTSC amp that pushes audio and video to monitors in the nursery, and we have the ability to drive the PA system in the sanctuary for when we need that. All told, our audio setup ran about $1K including all the stage snakes and other cables. For web video, acceptable performance at a bargain-basement price pays off. |
