Church Sound System

SOUND SYSTEM

The church sound system operators are available to manage the use of the sound system during weddings. The system capabilities include the use of all church microphones (including a wireless microphone for the attending clergy) for loudspeaker use within the sanctuary, playback of audio cassettes and CD’s, and recording of the ceremony onto audio cassettes. Connection of additional equipment to the church sound system is prohibited.

There is sometimes the question of whether to use the sound system during a wedding. For small weddings (fewer than 100 guests) for which no recording of the ceremony is desired, it is recommended that the sound system not be used. For larger weddings and for any wedding for which a recording is desired, the sound system should be used. Note that if a tape of the ceremony is made, microphones must be in place for all participants – this includes any soloists or musicians. In order that the tape be as complete as possible, the recommendations of the sound system operator should be followed in regard to microphone placement.

All due care will be used by the church sound system operator. However, in the case of system failure, the church can only refund the sound system fee.

As a final note, please realize that, like any fine sound system, the church sound system is delicate and requires care in operation. It is critical that it be left exactly as it was found, so that it is ready for the two Sunday morning worship services and the recording and live radio broadcast of the 11:00 AM service.
