I have been using HW for about a year now in the home setting and want to propose it for install at the small church where I am the organist.
We have a cheap 20-25 year old Rogers digital organ with two old crappy speakers to put it nicely. I have taken my computer to the church and done a demo for them to sell them on it, but the speakers get very muddled for load hymn demos.
So i contacted a local sound installing company to get a quote for a 16 channel 14 speaker & sub installation and what i got today was a shock. The church is 30' x 57' and seats 100 if packed, usually more like 50 people weekly, and is a historic 1872 parish. This is what i got, and input or feedback from those knowledgable sound folks would be GREATLY appreciated.
Bag End IPD18-IKS BASS System 8 @ $4,300 ea for $34,400
Bag End CDS-110 10 2 way BLK Ro Tex Install Encl w/F6 14 @$2,471 ea for $34,594
Bag End Yoke-3 for Mounting CD10 14 @ $89 ea for $1,246
MOTU 16A 32x32 $1,495 (this i actually asked for)
Programming MOTU to speakers $1,500
Labor/material $6,000
This note also was on the proposal:
This is what Bag End recommends for this installation. This is the system they put in for digital organs. We would need electric outlets on the back wall and front. One circuit on the back wall and 4 on front. If you do not have an electrician I have one.
So a $5,500 HW setup to convert the old Rodgers will require a $79,235 sound system not counting the electrician to put in outlets for the install.
I am not a sound expert, but this is WAY out of budget for this tiny parish . . .
Again any feedback would be greatly appreciated on how i can go about finding a system that will be great, but not be out of reach for us . . .
