Would this be able to handle a church service if I sat it in the front row? Not in a big church with lots of ambient noise.

The H1 is pretty directional. So, it will mainly pick up whatever you point it towards. So, if you point it towards the pulpit and that's all you want to get, then this is the perfect recording device for you. However, if you are trying to record everybody in the church, I recommend getting the H2N. It costs about $100 more, but 360 surround stereo mode, you can record everybody in front of it as well as everybody behind it. The H4N is a great choice for this too, but it will cost about $400. The nice thing about the H4N is it also has XLR inputs so you can run a feed from your church's soundboard into the device. This will ensure really clean audio from the church's microphone as well as pick up everything else in the church with the built in H4N mics. Finally, whichever device you get, if you're trying to record the entire church service, make sure to also purchase a memory card with enough storage space.

Yes, depending on the size of your church. The device works really well and you can enlarge it to a fairly large size screen for people to see.

In my experience, if you can hear it, this will pick it up. I've set it in one end of my house and walked in a room at the other end and I could still play myself back talking. Since even in large classes, the students are generally quiet you should have no problem. I use in in class. If you hear a lot of backnoise, put the mic sensitivity on low. I'm extremely pleased with it.

I use my for childrens church and never left it on very long, so I tried it today It was still on an hour after I used it. But the Kids and I really do like it, if that helps :) Good luck

Hi Kathy,It worked for translating sermons but you do need to get a mic to connect to the main machine and translate it from thereAlthough the sound was very good, and i didnt have too much problem with it, my pastor was very picky and that even a little static can bother people so we returned ithope it helps

The sound gets "blocked" but that doesn't mean your room is silent. A purist would tell you that you'd need an acoustic fabric screen, but a purist probably wouldn't buy this screen, anyway. :) That doesn't mean its a bad screen... I love it, but a purist would spend the $1000 on a top-of-the-line screen. This is a budget screen. I'm assuming you are on a budget. Hide your speakers behind a curtain, turn them up, and decide whether you can live with the sound. Hiding the speakers behind the screen will be, more-or-less, the same.

Maybe, I would try using speakers first. If there was not enough volume then try going through an amp, starting with the volume turned way down first. In a small setting, like a church or high school gym, this alone should do. Loud enough is load enough, but too loud will drive your audience away. Give it a try first. Good luck.

I've used it for meetings and movie watching without noticing the fan noise. I would say it is not bothersome.

Yes it will, no problems I use it every Sunday at my church to play music before the service starts great by go for it and its solid and sturdy .

This little thing is pretty noisey. If you can isolate it you'll be fine, otherwise you'll want a larger one that works less. Good luck

We use it in about a 150 person sanctuary and the recording is great. I would think it would work well in a 300 person sanctuary.Hope this information helps.

We use that mic at the church. People have said they hear speakers better and our recital people have used them with success. It was the best money spent so far.

I can honestly tell you that the amp does not put out rated power. Not even close. If you want it for a really small room then it will be fine. But if you want enough power to be heard over a large space filled with talking people? Look elswhere.

If it's powered with the cable, I think so. Granted, you don't want the music to be overbearing at these events, so it should work fine. For a concert, on the other hand, definitely not. Although you would probably want to mount the speaker outdoors.

Probably not. It's design is for open air, and the great thing about this sub is its clear bass. You would get some level of thump inside a closed space, but no quality lows.

To clarify the size of a speaker has nothing to do with how much power it needs pushed through it.But this thing pushes 500 Watts which is more than enough to power anything your church will have.

This type of mic is designed to pick up your voice while being worn on your body. If you're trying to record a church service from the audience or from the back of the sanctuary, I think you will be disappointed with the results.
