Help with church system...

We are trying to add some smoothness to our church PA system, by upgrading the amp to digital one - will panasonic saxr45 be able to drive the speakers that are 50 feet away from the amp? The conjnecting cable is that long.

If not, does anyone know of a high power digital amp that will do it?

The present system sounds low-fi, and gives listening fatigue. Doesn't have that smooth luscious liquid quality.

If digital amp is not the way to go, than will hybrid tube and transistor amp the Anthem makes do it?

Please advise - our congregation thanks you, and your expertise...

Gonglee,

I'm on my way to Kentucky today but you can e-mail me there at lewnoj@webasto.com.

Where is the church, the digital amp isn't the answer. What kind of speakers, where are they located, how high is the church ceiling, and what gauge of cable do you have going to the speakers.

50' is routinely done.

What is your current amp, pre-amp, and source materials.
What mic's are you using, mixing board, eq, etc.

Give me as much info as you have and photo's of the church space help.

An amp will not give you the smooth luscious liquidity that you seek. I speculate, but the problem is most likely the church's acoustics and loudspeaker placement.

Hello Gonglee,

I would suggest getting an outboard EQ for the system so you could adjust the tone of the speakers to your liking.

There is no need to spend a lot of money on hi-end equipment to fix this.

All the best,
Tom
