| Hi, We're in Victoria Australia and the quotes were put together but 3 separate companies who have all done work in other churches. When speaking with them they originally mentioned using this or that, they ended up providing something different.
I agree that we shouldn't feedback suppression if everything else is done correctly. We do have a current device but it causes more problems than it fixes. Its best and most used feature being the bypass mode which works really well.
Two times in the past I've walked in and found the system was "upgraded" during the week with no consolation with those that actually use it. So this is the third attempt and is being driven by a different group of people who are reporting to the board, they just need to do approval of what will change. (mixer position which will take out some seat, currently we mix FOH from the side of the stage and FOH speaker placement as the current system is 4 overhead speakers so people don't really notice it (or hear much through it)
I've broken it down into the quotes, most expensive to cheapest.

I prefer option 1 in most aspects except for the no name mixer and amp which I'd replace with either a A&H GL or SoundCraft and a Crown amp.
As mentioned earlier however, I don't know about speakers and I would suspect the 2 pairs of speakers (90 degree dispersion per speaker) would provide better coverage than just 2 speakers with 100 degree dispersion each
Thanks in advance   |
