Congregations can sing at 105dBa. At least that is what they do in churches that I have fixed and that does happen in other churches too, that perform well. When they do sing that loud, what do you do? Or, what do you do when the congregation is starting to drown out the sound system?
- Keep pushing the sound system to keep up with them.
- Keep the sound system at 90dB and let the congregations voices dominate.
- Lower the sound system FOH levels so that the congregation can enjoy what they are doing.
- Push the sound system to drown out the congregation as always regardless if the sound system is distorting or not.
Please tell us what you do when mixing.
