Microphone Use Guide

March 3, 2020 by Darren Wright

The auditorium’s acoustics are not fantastic, it’s a large space. Here are some hints about using the church microphones effectively.

Firstly, trust the people on the sound system, they’re going to do their best to ensure that your voice is clear and audible. The microphone will be working, so please don’t tap the microphone, if you’re unsure try coming in early and giving it a test run with the media team.

Lectern Microphone

  • Position the microphone just below the level of your mouth.
  • Stand close to the lectern and speak towards the microphone. 
  • Keep the microphone to mouth distance relatively constant.
  • Speak in a strong, clear voice.

Using the handheld microphone

  • Hold the microphone slightly below or to the side of your mouth.
  • Keep the microphone about 3-5cm from your mouth.
  • Speak into the top of the microphone.
  • Speak in a strong, clear voice.

Using the lapel microphone

The crew on the sound desk will help you set the microphone up so it’s got the best chance of picking up your voice, they’ll also turn it on for you. If you have any questions ask them, that’s what they’re there for.

  • Position the microphone on the centre of your chest.
  • Place the microphone over clothing and in a way that it’s pointing to your mouth.
  • Secure the microphone so that it doesn’t move freely.
  • Ensure the switch on top of the receiver unit is set to ‘mic’.
  • Speak in a strong, clear voice.

Worship with us

Every Sunday we join in worship on site at the church building and online, you can find out how to join worship online here.

Worship seeks to be meaningful in different ways for us all. In Jesus Christ we see how he drew near to everyone, and so we hope our worship expresses this nearness too. For more information on what worship looks like during this time of social distancing, keep on reading.
