[QUOTE="Jef Bass, post: 77102, member: 1882"] Re: Yamaha DM1000 too much horsepower? If you had an M7CL or LS9-32 or even our beloved X32 it might be overkill. The DM1K that you are using, if properly used, should be just fine for quite a while. With the "portable church" concept you guys must employ at this time, having a digital mixer like this one is right up your ally. The ability to recall setups- monitor mixes, etc. is of great benefit. Imagine doing this on an analog mixer and having to move/store it each week. Forget it. As long as you get the patching right on the stage/snaking systems, you should have no issue creating a meaningful service each week that is consistent. There are a lot of churches like this in the Atlanta area. I have built systems for just such churches time and time again. One thing that I always recommend, provided the operator has the aptitude, is a digital mixer. Recall saves time, and if memory serves, that mixer has decent FX on-board- cutting down the number of pieces that have to be connected- providing its something you use. Sometimes guest engineers who want to see a different console installed because of personal taste make statements like "this is overkill" or "you really should buy console XYZ." Generally that comes from their inability to operate your installed desk properly. If you are really gearing your mind up for making a change, I would personally hold off until the new stuff from Behringer is in stores. I am not cramming the X32 down your throat, but given the patching limitations of the DM1000 for future growth, and the fact that the X32 Compact comes with 16 XLRS, 6 line ins, and AES50 capability, when you are ready to add more channels just buy an S16 and a cat5 cable. This also lends itself well for monitoring as the P16 system is directly designed to work with it. Switching the band to their own personal mixers and wired IEM's will cut the stage volume to a minimum in most cases, permitting a better (less muddy) sound in the audience.
