In Reply to: How many sets of speakers for a church with 1500 seats? posted by gonglee1@hotmail.com on January 5, 2007 at 00:19:36:
15 inch drivers are a particularly poor choice is a reverberant environment. You need to do a lot of reading before spending any money. This would be a good start:

Thanks to all the posts - will definitely consider everything said so far.I like the sound of panasonic sa-xr45 : can it be used as an amp in pro audio? Is there other digital amp that is more powerful for this purpose?
I am thinking of Bryston 4b st, since it's built like a tank, but some are not too crazy about the sound. Can I do better with a different amp?
Alto makes a line a digital amps w/ built in effects, x-over, graphic eq, compressor, limiter etc.
Will they ever distribute them? I've been waiting over a year for the Dragonfly to arrive on these shores, it appears now that it never will.
I am a Art/Alto dealer. It was my understanding that they are available, but I'll check on Monday.
Comparing a cheap reciever to a Bryston power amp is like well...There is no comparison and the Bryston is light years ahead in
quality design and durablilty over any stamped out cheap recieverWhat you are going for here is not a home audio best buy install
I suggest you get someone who has a clue to do this install for your
churchI am being blunt here and it seems you dont have a clue
I decided on the speaker at least - Jbl JRX series.
I like the warm and smooth sound it has.I decided to start with 2 sets of them.
Someone mentioned that 15 incher is not good for reverberating environment - should I go with 12 incher settelites with subs?
I am trying to offer quality musical experience to some of the churches in Los Angeles area. Many did not have a good sounding PA system.
We will be doing soft CCM music, and some Jazz, and light classical - so not loud Roc-N-role.
We are hoping to move the audience with soft quality sound, from a quality PA sytem tuned right.
Our musicians consist of female lead singer, piano, synth, bass guitar, cello, violin, and drums.
Some conservative Christians might object to such arrangement, but we are trying to appeal to the general public by offering them something closer to what they ar used to.
If done right, it can be a moving experience - we hope.
It's true I am new to pro audio - but I have background in music and home audio. I like the sound of 1000 watts with a sub, even when the volume is not turned on loud ! Has that dynamic quality I was searching for.
In fact, I am going to use a pro audio setup in my home - I like the sound of pro audio.
Sincere thanks to all the posts - definitely informative !
"Someone mentioned that 15 incher is not good for reverberating environment - should I go with 12 incher settelites with subs?"No point source system is good in reverberant environments. Vertical pattern control is a necessity, and that can only be realized with a line source. If you didn't audition your choice where it's going to be used you may be very disappointed in the result.
