Learning the Language of an Audio engineer and empowering your media Team

In this essential episode of The Church Sound Podcast, host Prentiss L. Thompson unpacks one of the most overlooked aspects of church tech training—learning the language of an audio engineer. If you’re building a volunteer-based sound team, communication breakdowns can easily derail your service quality. That’s why developing a shared vocabulary is critical—not just for mixing and running gear, but for fostering unity, clarity, and professionalism.

Prentiss explores how terms like EQ, gain staging, compression, signal flow, feedback loops, and “flattening the board” aren't just technical jargon—they’re the core of a smooth-running sound ministry. You'll learn how to translate industry terms for volunteers with little or no experience, and how to create a training culture that empowers team members instead of overwhelming them.

Whether you’re onboarding teens, retirees, or curious congregants, this episode gives you tools to create confident communicators and competent engineers behind the board. You’ll also hear real-life examples, training tips, and how adopting this “language” boosts not only your tech output but the spiritual atmosphere in the room.

Whether you’re a church leader, volunteer, or simply passionate about digital ministry, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss! 🔔 Subscribe and stay connected with us for more conversations at the intersection of Kingdom Culture, Real Life, and Technology.
