[QUOTE="Steve Maksim, post: 11658, member: 1973"] I'm in a position to recommend some changes, and would like to ask for comments/suggestions on what I'm contemplating. I'm wondering about recapitalizing the M7CL-48. Status quo: [LIST] [*]Mix position [/LIST] [LIST=1|INDENT=2] [*]M7CL-48, but we're not using the whole thing [*]It's in the back of the room (of course!), so it's hard for the board operator to hear [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Mains [/LIST] [LIST=1|INDENT=2] [*]Powered Yamaha-something mains (see pics) [*]Meyer Sound Galileo 408 for speaker management [*]Nobody wants to sit in the front third of the house, because it's terribly harsh [*]This is not my area of expertise, but I suspect that the speakers may not be appropriate or that at least that their positioning is incorrect; the sound in the room is very uneven, and it's loud someplaces while (relatively) quiet elsewhere. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Monitors [/LIST] [LIST=1|INDENT=2] [*]A pair of powered floor wedges are occasionally used [*]The rest of the musicians use Aviom headphone mixers [*]Aviom A-16D Pro for distribution, fed from card in M7CL-48. [/LIST] My proposal: [LIST] [*]Mix position [/LIST] [LIST=1|INDENT=2] [*]Sell the M7CL-48 for somewhere around $6k-7k. [*]Buy an X32 (or .....?) [*]Getting something that multitracks will let people learn and practice at something besides Sunday service [*]Buy an iPad and/or laptop so that the board operator can make adjustments from elsewhere in the room [*]Buy a stereo line mixer to handle playback from CD player, tape deck, etc., (thanks, Aaron.) [*]Run CAT5 [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Mains [/LIST] [LIST=1|INDENT=2] [*]Bring in a pro to do modeling and make a recommendation. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Monitoring: [/LIST] [LIST=1|INDENT=2] [*]Sell the Aviom rack-mounted input unit [*]Buy Powerplay P-16's, and get the rack input unit if console is other than X32 [*]Invest in better headphones for the band [/LIST] Here are some pics of the space, setup, and the speakers: [ATTACH=CONFIG]160024.vB5-legacyid=11336[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]160026.vB5-legacyid=11338[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]160025.vB5-legacyid=11337[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]160027.vB5-legacyid=11339[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]160028.vB5-legacyid=11340[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]160029.vB5-legacyid=11341[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]160030.vB5-legacyid=11342[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
