On the third and final day of WFX, I spent almost the entire day on the show floor. We’re getting ready to upgrade a lot of equipment at Coast, so I needed to get some hands-on time with as much gear as I could. Here are a few things I saw that impressed me.

More Stuff Seen on the Show Floor
WFX, Here We Come!
This morning, my associate TD, Gary, and I (though I often refer to him as the Assistant to the Technical Director–just for fun) will be heading east to Charlotte, NC to attend WFX. I was able to go last year, and had a great time. It was fun being able to hang out with Colin [...]
Solder Fest 09 Continues
I love soldering. I love making cables. I’ve even written excessively about it on this site (here, here and here). There is just something satisfying and rewarding about making your own mic cable, or a sub snake, or a patch bay. Perhaps it’s the joy of knowing you just made future set ups a little [...]
What are you learning today?
That question has been rattling around my head the last few days. It came up when I was talking with my office mate and worship pastor, Jon. He was getting ready to apply to grad school. He said he felt the need to keep growing. Good need, I say. Last night, I thought about it [...]
The Drum Condo–Does it Work?
Well, now that the site is back up and moving at something close to normal speed, we’ll get back to the drum condo series. First, in answer to the above question, the short answer is yes! To some extent, that’s the best I’ve got, as I’ve not yet had time to get any actual readings [...]
Equipment List
Since I’ve received several comments on recent posts that start with, “Is that a [fill in the blank]?,” I thought I’d run down the list of equipment we put in our new worship space. Almost all of it is new, since we came from another church that had a pretty complete, though not very good, A/V [...]
First Round of Troubleshooting
You finally made it. After working 15 hour days for a week, the system is installed. The band arrives and soundcheck begins. You’re excited because you installed an Aviom system, and setting up monitors should be a breeze (mainly because you don’t have to do it!). You call for the kick drum, dial up the [...]
First Service In The New Space
Well, we made it. After a long few weeks, March 15 came upon us and we found ourselves having our first service in the new worship space. Aside from a few technical glitches (including our Aviom patching randomizing during soundcheck–more on that later…), the gatherings came together really, really well. Feedback from the community has [...]
RSS M-48; Now it’s Official
So maybe my previous post about the RSS V-Mixing system Personal Mixer was a bit premature. However, on Monday, it hit RSS’ website, and is now officially announced. And honestly, it looks better than I expected.
As I’ve written previously, the main limitation of the Aviom is 16 channels. The M-48 gets around this by making [...]
Exciting News from Roland Systems
If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you probably know that the RSS V-Mixing system is on my very short list for a new digital mixer when Upper Room relocates in a few weeks. I have been holding off on making a final decision pending the official release of an accessory that I [...]
