These are the most popular comment congregational members say after the first worship service with their new acoustics. “Love the way the new sound system works. I can hear everything now!” or “Did we get a new sound system? I actually understood the music and the ministers message.” or “What did they do to the sound system? The people are singing, the music sounds great and I can remember what the minister preached about. Guess I’m going to have to come more often.”
The influence of the sound system in churches is so powerful that even when you do fix the room, people often judge the room by the sound system’s performance rather than how the room sings or how the room projects people’s voice or how the sound is getting off the stage rather than overloading the stage. Acoustical changes is way more powerful than what any change a sound system can do but when a sound system falls short, it must be the technology and somewhere someone has a gadget to fix that if you can afford it. Did you know that most acoustical fixes cost less than the speaker system most churches own?
