Up to this point our small church has been worshiping in a temporary space but now we are in the process or trying to purchase our own building. The problem is that they're wanting to convert an old office building and the room that they intend to use as the sanctuary only has 10ft high ceilings. I'm trying to anticipate what kind of sound challenges that would create and if I would need to upgrade our current system to cope with it. Here's a few details:
The room - I don't have exact dimensions but it's a square room with a 150 seat capacity. 10ft high drywall ceiling, drywall and windows on the walls, floors are carpet laid on top of concrete.
Our current band - On a typical Sunday we have lead guitar (electric w/ mic'ed amp on stage), acoustic guitar (DI into the PA), bass (not in the PA, just going through his own amp which is on stage), acoustic drums (behind a shield, not mic'ed), and 2-3 singers.
Our current PA - Presonus Studiolive board feeding two Mackie SRM 450's. No Subs. Mics are SM58's for vocals, SM57 on the guitar amp. Most of the band uses in-ear monitors except our drummer who uses a wedge monitor.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
