Why A Solid Church Sound System Design Increases Opportunities For Worship

By Harriet Porter


All gatherings, regardless of what type, must have electronic means to ensure all people can hear what is being said. In a church setting, whether it is a pastor, rabbi or a priest, people wish to hear what is being taught because of the significance of it to their daily lives. That is a very good reason that a company who does church sound system design should be contacted to make this happen properly.

A few companies in your area will be able to accomplish this type of work. They have a lot of experience placing the speakers and massive banks of amplifiers in proper configurations. A lot of these firms will do the work in major arenas such as sports facilities and large auditoriums, both inside and out. They can also work on the smaller venues and your church can benefit form them.

When thinking about a sound system for your place of worship, a few things need to be considered. The professionals who work in this area can help you with a listing of questions to ask yourself and or the committee set up to approve such a design and purchase. There are many areas, within the church, that should have coverage. The main ones are those in the main meeting hall, from the hall to secondary meeting rooms and outside for those occasions when that is desired.

The place where the pastor preaches must be the first area to place a microphone. There is the thought about the difference between a wired microphone or a wireless one. Greater flexibility is what is gained when a non wired microphone is used because of the tendency of many speakers to walk around. The ability of this system to plug into a multi media unit is also a good point to consider. Many firms who do this specialize in this type of configuration and they are good ones to find.

Placements of microphones, for the choir, is also something to be concerned with. Many choirs will need a few that are omnidirectional, meaning the entire choir as a mass. Other choirs like the idea they have a few singers who are soloists. These may need their own microphone and that might also need to be cordless.

Providing a few microphones for the general congregation will also assist in holding meetings. This is also something for those wishing to witness during those times in the service. Wireless is something that should be considered for this type of system as this will be able to be passed around easily.

The placement of speakers can be a problem if not sufficient thought is undertaken for this. Placing them in some areas will provide feedback no matter how high tech they are. Placing them in others spaces will not provide a good coverage and people will be craning their necks to hear properly. There should also be capabilities for people who are hard of hearing to use head phones or plugging into their hearing aids.

All opportunities for worship comes with the need to communicate one with another. Having the ability to hear and be heard is what a professional sound technician can do for you. Getting a system, designed especially for your building, after an inspection that looks for the best balance of sounds will increase those opportunities.
