UE-10 Pro
By EXW Staff - June 16, 2005
UE-10 Pro Features:
The UE-10 Prois the most accurate custom personal monitor available. The sound is studio reference quality with a true 20Hz to 16k frequency range. The low-end is tight but not overstated while the mid range is dynamic and the highs are crystal clear. The triple driver configuration makes this custom personal monitor a must for any application, especially ear monitor systems that do not offer the high frequency boost options.
While the UE-10 Pro was designe...
Yamaha S90
By EXW Staff - Oct 07, 2004
With the growing number of instruments that are being added to our worship services, the need for the electronic 88 key weighted piano has become more necessary to help with space problems. We recently purchased a Yamaha S90 for review and wanted to share the results with you.
First off, if you don't need a sequencer the S90 may not be for you. We wanted to get the most bang for our buck. We like it for the sounds, ease of use and it's great weighted action. The sequencer is a nice feature ...

Danelectro Tuner
By EXW Staff - June 12, 2002
The Dan-O-Matic tuner from Danelectro is one of our favorite tuners for the worship guitarist. Aside from being a rugged unit that will hold up under any circumstance, it has a special mute feature that cuts off the signal to the house allowing you to tune and not be heard by all.
This unit also comes with a light feature to help see in poor lighting conditions. It is one of our favorite designs and tuners for worship. You can get it for $59.00 from Musicians Friend.
Make sure you ge...

Takamines
By EXW Staff - May 26, 2002
What's the best acoustic guitar for worship? This question could cause a rumble. For us, we feel that the higher end Takamines are ideal for worship. Their electronics are fantastic when plugged in. It's no wonder so many bands use them in live situations. From the NEX to the Dreadnaughts, you can't go wrong when plugging in.
Our feature Takamine is the ESF48C:
Features include:
NEX Cutaway
Rosette: Laser-cut Wood and Steel
