IoT App for Audio Management

The Problem

Maranata Oradea Church faced recurring challenges in operating its complex Behringer X32 sound console:

• Volunteer Training Gap: New volunteers struggled to learn the intricate controls, leading to inconsistent sound quality.
• Complex Setup Process: Risk of equipment mishandling and errors during power management.
• Inconsistent Audio: Lack of technical expertise often resulted in variable sound quality during services.
• Time-Consuming Operation: Navigating menus and button combinations slowed down sound checks.

The church needed a solution that simplified sound management, ensured consistency, and protected their equipment investment.
