QuestionHello, I need some advice on a new sound system for a
church.
The current system is a Peavey xr 700C dual powered mixing
console with peavey 112h model house speakers, and not so
good radio shack mics (ya its an old system lol) and is
currently all on the stage. We need a bigger mixer and want
to move it to the back of the church.
As far as a new mixer I was looking at a Allen & Heath ZED-
22FX USB Mixer with Effects using a Pro Co StageMaster 50'
12-Channel 4 Return Stage Snake, and Sennheiser E835 Dynamic
Microphones. But what kind of speakers and amp would be
good?
The church sanctuary is 42'x32' and round 15' high. not
including the stage area which is around 15'x24' and 9'
high.
AnswerKeeping a budget in mind:
To keep things tidy, I would audition some Peavey PR-15D or the PR-12D's.
The 15's are around 479 each (12's are about 400) and both models include their own power amps which will reach out to about 120Db.

There are a lot of ways to go if you want amps and speakers but these Bi-Amp'ed ones should do well in the room you described.
Of course, the folks at Musicians Friend would be happy to give you advice on other solutions.
