Doing it cheap

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. Do you find this valuable?
