![]() ![]() What are the particularities of your church? Once you can answer that, you an begin to figure out what you need to be looking for with regard to equipment. In the end, it wasn’t the app-enabled remote control that sold us on this board, but it was a feature that appealed to us in our context. When we were looking for a new mixer, our team read tons of reviews, check numerous catalogs, and actually did some in-store testing. In response, Yamaha developed transducers specifically for acoustic pianos, designing them such that only the lightweight vibrating parts are installed on the soundboard. In other words, the soundboard is a 'board that transmits vibrations,' while at the same time, it is in a certain sense, a 'board that stops vibrations.' What makes the spruce family, and especially Alaskan (Sitka) spruce, so highly valued as soundboard materials is that these species have the property of absorbing the higher overtones more effectively. Don’t buy what I or any reviewer tells you to buy. Commonly used transducers are too heavy to install on soundboards since the transducer weight compromises the soundboards essential functions. ![]() There’s a learning curve with this system, to be sure, but it’s a very neat ability to have.Īnd that’s what I want to get at in this post: when you buy equipment, look for overall quality, convenience, and that unique ability that will fit nicely in your church culture. Not a web app, but a native iOS app that can be downloaded, for free, from the iTunes and Google Play App Stores. Now, I’ve only had to run sound from the actual sound board a few times, but I have had to make several adjusts via an iOS device, and it truly does work! Plus, it is an actual app. That’s right! Three iPads and ten iPhones! Simultaneously! ![]() You can control the front of house with up to three iPads and the monitors with up to ten iPhones simultaneously. I chose the Yamaha TF5 console because of the Yamaha name, the preamps, and the iOS functionality. So, we replaced our decent but decaying Mackie mixer with a Yamaha TF5, which is exciting for a lot of reasons, but I’m going to focus, for a moment, on the one feature that most directly affects me: app-based control of the house and monitor mixes.īefore we get into a discussion of the apps, I’ll let me friend Josh explain why he voted for buying this mixer: Let’s pause so that you can rejoice with me. My church has finally purchased a new sound board. ![]()
