Sound System?

[joshmmorrison]

Hey guys,
I just had a quick question that I knew the TB expertise would be able to help with. I'm looking into what it would take to put a sound system in the youth room at my church. It's a small structure (circular, about 40ft in diameter) so the system would mainly be for a couple of mics, an acoustic and maybe a djembe for worship. What all would I need to make this happen? I know a small sound board, but what kind of amp for that would I need? I'm more on the musician side and less of a tech guy so I'm clueless.

I did a quick search in this forum and didn't see anything, so if this has been addressed if you could point me in the right direction that'd be awesome.

Thanks!

This:
Carvin.com :: XP1000L-PM15
Add a pair of speaker stands, maybe a few extra mics & stands, a DI or 2.
Might want to add a pair of these on stands as sidefills:
Carvin.com :: LM12

The Carvin suggestion is good... any powered mixer will work. Yamaha has some good offerings. Try and stick with a company that does higher end audio offereing as well. Soundcraft, Yamaha, Carvin, are all good examples.

Also in a round room keep in mind that you want to avoid putting any more sound energy against the walls that you need. A speaker that has a 15 degree tilt would come in handy... get it up high and point it down at your audience a bit more. An example of this woud be the JRX112M from JBL is a good example of this, has both straight and tilt. The work as good mains when you are small and convert into monitors when you grow to something requiring more power.
