We understand that most mobile churches don't start off in large sized venues with a full band.  Many mobile churches, like my own once upon a time, start off in a very small space with a one or two person worship team and don't have need of a full sound system, stage, and lighting.  While we do create systems for mobile churches that do need a full concert like setup, we find that the need is more so on the smaller side.  When it comes to system design we look at a couple of things before making recommendations.  What are the dimensions of your current space, what are the dimensions of the stage if you have one, where is the congregation going to be sitting, does your venue supply a projector/video screen, does your venue provide a live sound system, how many outlets are in the room and where are they located, what you're using for transportation, what does your offsite and or onsite storage look like, how many people make up your worship team, do you anticipate the worship team growing soon, is there a lot of wireless equipment in the area, and do you have a sound tech or general tech person.   Once we get through all these questions we can get a better idea of what conditions your situation might require.  From there we'll talk about what your needs are and what things you would like for your setup.  Below are some of the bare essentials that everyone usually needs.

 

 

SOUND SYSTEM

MIXER

A mixer will combine all your audio signals be it a microphone, guitar, music player, or any other sound source, and send it to your speaker.

MICROPHONES

Microphones get your voice to the mixer where it can be amplified by the speaker for everyone to hear.

SPEAKER(S)

Speakers reproduce any sound sent into them.  Contrary to popular belief, you don't always need two speakers.  Sometimes one will get the job done.

Cables & Di's

Your cables and Direct Input Boxes (DI's) are how you'll connect everything together.
