What does excellence truly mean in the world of creative ministry? In this episode, we sit down with Bryan Bailey to unpack the DNA of excellence—how it’s defined, how it’s pursued, and why it’s not just copying what another church is doing.

In this bonus segment, Choir Mic Techniques with Earthworks Audio, we explore the challenges of amplifying a choir effectively and how to achieve a natural, balanced sound. Since microphones, placement, PA systems, and processing are all interconnected, misalignment can lead to feedback, distortion, poor blend, and lack of clarity. This special segment talks about how to master choir miking, we break it down into five levels. First, avoid bad things—minimize feedback and distortion with proper mic choice and placement. Second, maintain control by ensuring even coverage without over-processing. Third, prioritize intelligibility, capturing the full choir’s blended harmonies rather than spotlighting individuals. Fourth, create presence by seamlessly blending the choir’s acoustic output with the PA for a natural sound. Finally, at Level Five, apply artistic enhancements, such as subtle EQ adjustments, to refine and enrich the mix. A pro tip for live streaming—blend in omnidirectional room mics to create an immersive experience for remote listeners. Mastering these techniques allows for both technical excellence and artistic expression in choir amplification.
