They're not looking for "good" sound, they just want sound---in most places. The requirement isn't for accurate reproduction, the requirement is to be heard without too much feedback. Obviously bigger churches have higher quality requirements, but it's not fair to ascribe high quality standards on institutions that don't know good from bad. In some churches, the requirement is to keep the congregation awake. -John O

The use of a FBD allows much higher SPL levels. Obviously, you have very limited experience with feedback. The usual rule of thumb is that feedback destroyers are only effective if you let them hunt for feedback modes, and then lock them down because if left in automatic mode, they start hunting down and destroying parts of the signals you want to amplify. Trouble is, feedback frequencies change pretty dramatically when the mic moves around. Botttom line, your roving lecturers will tend to destroy the usability of a feedback destroyer. >>> Teachers shouldn't be limited by technology, >>> but empowered by it. >> >> Agreed, but irrelevant to any discussion of the limits >> enforced by the laws of phyiscs. > There are tools available to "push" the limits, like > compressors and FBD's. Comressors tend to exasperate any signficant amount of feedback that you have. I already pointed out one of the inherent limitations of feedback destroyers. >>> Limiting contact with the audience >>> is not empowering or effective. >> >> In my book, not loud enough, or feedback are pretty >> severe limits on contact with the audience. > So?

I don't need to argue with you, I just need to let you have your way and live with the predictable results. > Do you need some elementary education in the use of > compressors and FBD's? Not hardly. It appears that your elementary education in their use will be forthcoming. ;-)

How can you teach a proper way to mi when you don't know how to yourself? Phildo

The one on the DEQ is almost certainly way more powerful than any stand-alone unit you have. Phildo |
