  • Episode 33: What's the Fader I MIDWEEK SERVICE
    Prentiss L. Thompson breaks down the basic use of a fader on a mixing console.

    Each channel on a mixer has a volume control (fader) that allows adjustment of the level of that channel. These are usually sliders near the front of the mixing board, although some smaller mixers use rotary controls to save space.

  • Headphone selection I MIDWEEK SERVICE
    The basic understanding of impedance for headphones is very important when selecting a pair of headphones for the perfect listening scenario.
    Prentiss L. Thompson breaks down all types and what is best choice for an engineer.


    Low-impedance (under 50 ohm) headphones will play well at home with your receiver and on-the-go with your smart phone, and that's why the vast majority of in-, on-, and over-the-ear headphones are low-impedance designs. High-impedance models are much better suited to home than on-the-go use. Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic are two companies that offer high-impedance consumer headphones with up to 600 ohm-rated designs.

  • Episode 30: EP30 Have a Safe CHRISTmas
    Merry CHRISTmas and Happy holidays to the CSP Family.
    Prentiss L. Thompson and Pastor Caleb Windley discuss the second wave, what has the church learned from the first wave and do we as a church body move forward.
    Wear a Mask - Wear a Mask- WEAR A MASK!!!
    Definition: The Second wave -A phenomenon of infections that can develop during a pandemic. The disease infects one group of people first. Infections appear to decrease. And then, infections increase in a different part of the population, resulting in a second wave of infections.

    FACTS:
    What are the most common underlying conditions for coronavirus disease patients?
    Among 178 (12%) adult patients with data on underlying conditions as of March 30, 2020, 89.3% had one or more underlying conditions; the most common were hypertension (49.7%), obesity (48.3%), chronic lung disease (34.6%), diabetes mellitus (28.3%), and cardiovascular disease (27.8%).
    Do antibiotics work against the coronavirus disease?
    Antibiotics do not prevent or treat COVID-19, because COVID-19 is caused by a virus, not bacteria. Some patients with COVID-19 may also develop a bacterial infection, such as pneumonia.

  • Cardioid mic -VS- Super Cardioid mic I MIDWEEK SERVICE
    CARDIOID POLAR PATTERN
    A cardioid microphone has the most sensitivity at the front and is least sensitive at the back. This isolates it from unwanted ambient sound and gives much more resistance to feedback than omnidirectional microphones. This makes a cardioid microphone particularly suitable for loud stages.

    SUPERCARDIOID POLAR PATTERN
    Supercardioid microphones offer a narrower pickup than cardioids and a greater rejection of ambient sound. But they also have some pickup directly at the rear, hence it is important to place monitor speakers correctly. Supercardioids are most suitable when single sound sources need to be picked up in loud environments. They are very resistant to feedback.

  • What is a Limiter I MIDWEEK SERVICE
    Prentiss L. Thompson breaks down how and when to use limiter during church service.

    What is a limiter?
    Living in the same dynamics processors family as multi-band compressors, gates, expanders, de-essers, and their closest cousin compressors is where you'll find limiters. Similarly to compressors, limiters are designed specifically to prevent audio signal levels from going higher than a set point. What separates them from compressors in practice is the ratio used in reducing gain, which is much higher than that of a regular compressor.

    Technically, a limiter's ratio is 10:1 or greater and is usually set to be as close to infinity:1 as possible, so that no matter how much the input signal changes, the output level remains the same. By establishing a maximum gain setting, the limiter actually prevents the audio signal from going over it (rather than smoothing out and reducing the gain when it does, like a compressor would). This raises the overall level in the most transparent way, without clipping or adding any sort of distortion or noise. Limiters are often used in the final mastering stages of record production to ensure that levels are consistent throughout the mix.
