church audio

Streaming audio over Wi-Fi for assistive listening is the new thing for the hard-of-hearing, multilingual listeners and overflow areas of church services and events.

If you've ever led worship, you know the feeling of relying on a sound technician to keep everything running smoothly and sounding good. Sound equipment can be confusing, to say the least. We recently sat down with Ryan Young, Owner of NOMIXUPS, to hear about his nifty products to help create a more efficient set up for sound techs of every kind (and never use tape again):

When churches look for new church management software, online giving solutions, or live streaming solutions, they need experts to come alongside them in their ministries. These relationships can foster ministry growth and challenge churches to harness tools to bless their churches and beyond.
