Why A Solid Church Sound System Design Increases Opportunities For Worship

By Harriet Porter


In any gathering of people, the one who is in charge of that gathering needs to be able to be heard. Whether that is the pastor, priest or rabbi, their words need to get to the back rows of the worshiping group. That means they need someone to prepare a church sound system design for consideration.

There are any number of companies who do work in the electronic field who designs sound systems. These are the ones who place massive banks of amplifiers, wires and speakers. Many of these are for large auditoriums and sports arenas. Some of these have to do with getting the sound of the spoken or sung word to people gathered in an outside area.

There are a number of things to think about when looking for the right sound system for your place of worship. One of these electronic firms can help you with a checklist for the most important parts. Having the information about various types of systems and where they should be set up will help you see the difference. The flexibility you can have when setting this up can mean so much and just a few changes will make it better than you can imagine.

One of the first places for a microphone will, of course, be the pulpit. The decision of whether it should be a wired or wireless system should also be addressed, early on. The flexibility, as far as movement of speaker is concerned, must be looked into. Many speakers appreciate the ability to move around as they exhort the congregation. A facility to incorporate sound from a multi media system will also be appreciated.

The choir will need to have access to the sound system through microphones installed in their area. These may be hung from the ceiling or placed on movable stands. The need for wireless units may be important here, especially for those in the choir who are soloists. An available outlet for piped in music will also need to be looked into for smooth interlude sounds.

People, sitting in their seats will often need to be heard. This is because of business meetings that are held or during witness or testifying periods during the service. These are easier to handle and pass back and forth if they are wireless, however, the availability of them is more important than the type.

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.

The professional sound system personnel that can be contacted will have many suggestions for all of these concerns. They have been involved in designing systems for churches and can be discrete about everything. They will inspection the building, talk with some of the faithful for their input and come up with a good design based on your budget.
