How It Helps
Meter From the Booth
Set the device beside the console. The large reading and the 5-second average read from a glance away while you mix.
A Range for Every Service
The border turns green when you’re in range and red when a song runs hot. Only the operator sees it: nothing beeps or flashes during a prayer.
Check Each Song
Switch to the graph after a song to see how it built and whether the loud sections stayed in range.
Find Feedback Fast
When something rings, the live spectrum shows which band is jumping.
Settings to Start With
A starting point. Adjust from there for your room.
- Target Range80 to 85 dBA
Measured at the booth. One team finds this puts the front of the room around 85 to 90 dBA.
- ResponseSlow
Smooths the reading so it’s easier to follow during a full set.
- WeightingdBA
The weighting churches publish their targets in.
What Other Churches Aim For
Published targets vary by church. Life.Church aims for a 93 to 94 dBA average over about 18 minutes of worship and notes the loudest part of a song often reads 96 to 98 dBA. Redemption Church in Tempe targets an 88 to 93 dBA average during music. At the 2024 Churchfront conference, Drew Brashler suggested keeping a one-hour service average at or below 94 dBA.
These are individual churches’ choices, not a standard. Pick what fits your room and your congregation, then let the app hold you to it.
