Hello! .....I would like to introduce you to our TDM- Audio Monitor Mixing Systems. I believe the following letter will help me do just that. It was written by Rex Bohrer who was an associate pastor and worship leader at Grace Outreach Center in Plano, Texas. Maybe you will find some similarities between his situation and yours. Please read on.

.....One of the most frustrating, time consuming things I have had to deal with as a music minister is adjusting monitor mixes during sound checks and practices. It never stays the same and typically would get louder with each practice, to the point that the monitor mix was louder than the house mix. Although the musicians sometimes enjoyed it, the listener got a very bad mix and it was out of the sound man's control. .....At one time we had multiple monitor mixes coming from this huge expensive monitor board that took a nuclear physicist to figure out. A typical rehearsal would go like this: first the drums weren't loud enough, then the bass needed to be turned up in one mix, then down in another. The guitar player with the rhythm of a jack rabbit couldn't hear himself or the drums, so it was like he was playing with a different band. This would go on and on until there was only 10 minutes to practice and I had zero patience left. .....Although I had never seen or heard of such a system as a TDM- before, and frankly believed it too good to be true, I was willing to try anything. .....The TDM-8 Main Console and four Output Mixer Stations gave each of our musicians his own individual monitor mix control. The impact was tremendous. The delays in practice sessions were eliminated. Each musician could now adjust for the changing mix dynamics without intervention from the sound man, who was free to concentrate on the house mix. I could see the benefits right away, and so could the audience. After a few months, we added two more Output Mixer Stations as wind instruments were added to the group. .....When I learned that we were moving into a new worship center and would be getting new sound equipment, I ordered a new TDM-16 Main Console and seven Output Mixer Stations for the new facility. The church that bought our old building wanted our original TDM-8 as part of the sale. The installation of the new TDM-16 took less than one hour, and the group was able to rehearse. .....I believe any church's music ministry could benefit from a TDM- system.

.....I hope you will browse our site and look over our system. I would be glad to discuss your requirements with you. I am an engineer, not a salesman; there will be no sales pitch, I promise!
