  • Audio Update: Why the Sound Was Off—and What’s Fixed

    Audio Update: Why the Sound Was Off—and What’s Fixed
    Jun 27 2025
    In this special update of Equipping You in Grace, Dave explains the recent sound quality issues affecting some podcast episodes and shares the steps taken to resolve them. The problem wasn't the microphone itself, but issues with the signal chain, including faulty XLR cables, a bad USB cable, and the laptop's internal microphone being enabled. All of these have been corrected, resulting in a clearer, sharper, and more consistent audio experience moving forward. Please note that because episodes are recorded in batches, a few upcoming releases may still include the static in the audio. After that, everything should be back to the standard you expect. Thank you for your understanding, patience, and support of this ministry. It remains my privilege to walk with you through the Word—every episode.
