It might help others if you mentioned the make and model of the wireless mic system you are using?MassagliaJA wrote:Our chapel does not have a RecordOut jack. It's an old building.

Thanks, that's a good idea. Our wireless mic system is the Audio Technica R2100AD. Ours has a receiver that has XLR or 1/4 inch jack out and a single lavaliere transmitter. I found the manual online and I saw an attenuation switch which could switch between attenuation of 0 dB or -12 dB with a default of 0 dB, but I didn't see a way to switch from mic level to line level.CalS201 wrote:It might help others if you mentioned the make and model of the wireless mic system you are using?MassagliaJA wrote:Our chapel does not have a RecordOut jack.

The MOVO WMX-20 wireless system listed here viewtopic.php?f=27&t=37779 can adjust it's output from mic level all the way up to line-level.
Referring to the manual it states the receiver's XLR output is balanced MIC level and the 1/4" TRS is unbalanced LINE level. The 0/-12db switch affects both outputs. Finally, the AF LEVEL adjustment control, also on the back of the receiver, affects both outputs.MassagliaJA wrote:Thanks, that's a good idea. Our wireless mic system is the Audio Technica R2100AD.

I thought the same when we first got the mevo but we did find a workaround. Remove the tamper proof screws to get access to the rear of the amplifier rack which has a line out in 2 places on the rack. We took the line out from the main amplifier so if the volume is adjusted for a speaker in the building, it also adjusts the level for the mevo. The other line out is part of the mixer/equalizer which does not change with the master volume control.MassagliaJA wrote:Our chapel does not have a RecordOut jack. It's an old building.

I would be extremely cautious about going into the rack. The church has a contract with a vendor for service. Tampering with the system could result in FM getting billed for any repairs. In my case, that would include airfare and hotel for the tech to come from Utah.richarddanielwatts wrote:Remove the tamper proof screws to get access to the rear of the amplifier rack which has a line out in 2 places on the rack.
With the recent changes to the General Handbook, I do expect a standardized system to be developed. But I have yet to hear what it might be. I do know the MEVO was one they were using pre-shutdown.richarddanielwatts wrote:I get the feeling that area FM may get a standardised broadcasting system in due course so they seem reluctant to implement anything right now that may need to be undone in the near future when decisions are made on a more long term strategy.
Our stake center is going through the latest audio/video upgrades this week. They have completely gutted the audio rack that was in a locked room (more of a closet) on the side of the rostrum AND the former wall-mounted satellite rack in the library. They installed a new full-size rack in the library with all new equipment and rewired everything to it. I mean EVERYTHING. All mics and mic jacks, overhead speakers and audio wall jacks are homerunned to it. All video inputs from the new HD PTZ wall-mounted camera and HDMI jacks on the stand and back of the chapel are connected to it. As well as all HDMI outputs going to the pulpit, gym, RS, Primary, & HC rooms. There's talk of wall-mounting large-screen TV's in the Primary, RS, and HC rooms, but I haven't seen that happen yet.russellhltn wrote:With the recent changes to the General Handbook, I do expect a standardized system to be developed.

How exciting! It sounds like a "webcast stake conference" design and not a simplified "webcasting sacrament every week" plan. The latter is the standard I'm looking for.Mikerowaved wrote:This will indeed be a central point for producing a webcast with all ins and outs clearly labeled in case you decide to use a PC with OBS/Wirecast/vMix instead of the supplied streaming device.

Looking at it, it seems like with the push of a couple of buttons on the Extron video switch, the wall-mounted camera can get routed to the video encoder making live-streaming any meeting pretty simple. I'll know more when they let me actually get my mits on it.russellhltn wrote:It sounds like a "webcast stake conference" design and not a simplified "webcasting sacrament every week" plan.

My ward meetinghouse is currently receiving this upgraded system. I am a Ward Technology Specialist, so I don't have access to CNM. I only have a stake-issued Lenovo laptop and a stake-provided Zoom account for our ward meetings. This will be an adventure.Mikerowaved wrote: Fri Apr 16, 2021 1:36 pmOur stake center is going through the latest audio/video upgrades this week.
