Methods of Church Acoustics
Posted by jdbsound on September 17, 2014
The following is an overly generalized statement but bear with me.
If I had followed the secular methods of doing larger room acoustics for churches over the last 25 years, I would be still looking for my third acoustical project. Instead I ditched the methods taught at school and followed the scriptures method of doing church acoustics. Now over 450 churches have very good to great to excellent acoustics. The science is all there, it’s just used in a different manner and it gives churches what they really want. It gives a church a space they often hear about but never thought possible in their acoustical nightmare.
Doing church acoustics the biblical way always get the results a church wants regardless of the style worship you practice. Hey, I used to do churches using secular methods and while it changed the room, often it limited or stifled the worship. Church acoustics should enhance the worship and bring people together.
What should be louder? A 37 rank pipe organ or 450 people singing? How exciting is it when the congregation can out sing a pipe organ without effort!
What should be louder? A 40,000 watt sound system in a 600 seat church or the 500 people singing? The people should be louder. Such acoustical marvels are already in churches that use the biblical method of church acoustics.
Whether your have a store front worships space, a warehouse worship space or a purpose built church for a worship space, they all can have excellent acoustics right from the first day you worship in it. Hey, I didn’t make the rules or the laws of physics, God did, and following God is what we are to do as Christians.
