Recently we had the opportunity to test a few mics from Da-Cappo. I’ve been hearing more and more about them of late and was immediately interested in trying one out when my rep offered. We had two different models, the standard DA-12 and a shorter-boomed child’s version. Normally we use the Countryman e6 for earset [...]

January Webinar Coming Up
After our brief respite in December (OK, we were all pretty crazy-busy in December), we’re back for another webinar. Jason, Dave and I will be hosting our January webinar this Friday, Jan 29 at 10 PM EST, 7 PM PST. Our topic for this month is system design, and while the three of us have [...]
Heil Drum Mic Kit Pt. 1
Two weekends ago, I picked up some new mics for our drum kit. We had been experimenting with some demos over the last few months, and I was convinced enough to place an order with my dealer. When I went to pick them up, he gave me the HDK-8 which I initially thought to be [...]
Rechargeable Battery Update
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about rechargeable batteries. Mainly because there was no new news with the Ansmann brand we had been using, and I wanted to try out the new ones for a while before giving an update. Thankfully, the wait was worth it, and this is good news.
When Upper Room moved [...]
A Couple Useful Links & A Personal Update
Well, it’s Miscellaneous Wednesday, so I thought I’d share a few things with you that I’ve found useful. First of all, I saw a Tweet last week from @Macs In Church that was a link to a pretty interesting site if you work with video at all: Zach Poff Software. Zach Poff is a New York [...]
It’s the Final Countdown
Cue up fire from my hands as I thrust them dramatically to the sky! (This is the first of a series of Arrested Development references this week–get used to it) While I couldn’t get Gob to join us today, I thought I would remind you, in case you’ve been locked in a tech booth somewhere [...]
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 [...]
Drum Condo Update
Since many people have been asking, I finally did get around to snapping some more pictures, including the inside. I also took some SPL readings to confirm what I suspected. First, hard data. I walked inside the condo and had Joe play at his normal volume. We got readings around 116-118 dB SPL, C-weighted, fast. [...]
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 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 [...]
