How would this device do in a church auditorium/sanctuary? We're trying to get consistency in our sound levels each Sunday.

well, this device works fine but is not for professional purposes, for better results prepare your test scenario (maintaining constant sound levels ) because the devices inhability to keep a log of the results obtained.

I believe it would work great. I have used it in a somewhat large room and it is surprising the small sounds it detects.

Used it as a PA last week in a church hall and it sounded real good. Even played music from my iPhone and it filled quite nicely. One person even asked me to turn it down.

Youll hear him. Whether he's understandabledepends on the acoustics of the church. Full church good results Device needs batteries

About 15-20 feet in a quiet indoor place for a seminar recording. I turned on 10 db enhancer. At that time, a speaker did not use any voice amplifying devices. So this picks up more where any speaker systems are being used.

I use the label at our church to deliver the sermon. We do not use with worship because our worship leader likes to use a hand held mic. Sound is clear and picks up very well for the sermon. We record and there no distortion or drops. Hope this helps.

I typically use mine for indoor music and gaming. I also installed 4 of them in a small church ( seating for around 120 people) and everyone there really likes them. They used them with a projector to watch movies as well.

Hi Paige, We are also using this for a church group but are not experiencing distortion. We occasionally experience some hissing and popping, which is related to batteries beginning to go bad; usually they last about a month with 2-3 hours per week of use. Also, line of sight helps between the mics and the receiver antennas. On stage is preferrable, if the receiver is in the back of the house try to get it up high; human bodies are mostly water and absorb radio signals better than allowing them to pass through. This would be more of a hiss/pop issue, as well, not really distortion. As for the distortion, are you using the "mix" output (XLR) or the four individual 1/4" connectors for output? Both are at line level (+4dB), not mic level (-10dB). If you're using the XLR mix output, make sure the input on your sound board is set to line level, if you can make that adjustment; if not, a quick trip to a live sound store (music or stage) can get you a 20dB XLR pad to reduce the level. In a pinch, you can try turning the knobs on the front of the unit to about half-way and see if that reduces the distortion. If you're using the four separate 1/4" outputs, same applies-they're line level outputs, your sound board should have a switch to select +4/-10, set it to +4; if not, four 20dB 1/4" pads should do the trick. Hope something in this post helps. :-)

Im a sound tech at my church and we bought two of these for our church. I would not recommend this for a home theater setup, it would be way to big and it would overload your whole system. Unless you have a huge home theater.

Thanks for your help. This device is certainly very affordable, do you think my desktop speakers sound quality will suffer from running it through this?

I have used it in an auditorium, where I was about 50 feet away from the speaker. There were about 100 people in the auditorium, and it worked flawlessly. I have also used it in a 30'x30' classroom with about 30 people in it, and it worked flawlessly then, too.

I believe this device needs to be positioned as close to the listeners seating level as possible to be appreciated. The front speakers should roughly be in the same plane as the listener's ears. Don't think you are likely to be satisfied with a floor location. Check the return policy. If you don't like it you may be able to return within 30 days for refund, but you also may have to pay return shipping.

I think it would be fine. We have it plugged into a keyboard for the kid and the amplification isn't the greatest but I think it's just because of the speaker it is being projected out of. If you a better speaker, the mic would be great.

I use a small Behringer mixer in our system. It allows me to plug in a keyboard, an extra mic, and a couple of guitars. Works fine. There are better sound systems for sure, but for the money this setup is perfect for our little chapel.

These are great speakers but are better served as floor monitors or front of house at small venues. For 200-500 people in a church I'd recommend something bigger

I have speakers attached for full room sound... I remember the speakers worked well - this is a small room 10X13 should be fine... I would check it out now... but I'm traveling.

These microphones are pretty good in sound quality and can pretty much be use a in any occasion. I use them at church and get no feedback. And it's easier if you know somewhat how to use the sound system too. Hope this answers your question.

Hugh, try it out under your condition and evaluate the result. The woofer is powerful; therefore, that cabinet perhaps will produce an unwanted sound of its own.
