Church tech, explained by someone who runs it every week.
I’m Mike Fox. I’ve worked in church production since 2000, and today I oversee audio, video, lighting and multimedia for The River Church’s 9 locations. Everything I’ve learned about the Behringer Wing, Dante, ProPresenter and live streaming is here, free.
What are you working on?

Here’s the order I’d learn it in: layout, gain staging, routing, snapshots and shows, USB backups, then Dante and recording, with the video for each step.
