If you pay attention to sound at all, you love to hear a great echo. Think about standing next to someone at the edge of a large canyon, listening to them shout and waiting to hear the reflection off the other side of the canyon. As we stand beside him, we will first hear the sound of his voice on a path directly to our ears. Moments later, we will hear his voice repeated after the sound wave has traveled…

In evaluating the success or failure of every house of worship sound reinforcement system, two requirements stand out: coverage and intelligibility. Does the system provide completely smooth and consistent coverage throughout the entire space? And, can every syllable of every word (and every note of every song) be heard and understood - and even further - within their intended context? This is the heart of the matter. If a system can’t be heard due to substandard coverage to certain areas,…

Christ Memorial Church in Holland, MI, has always sought to be a place where all can belong, and in that spirit, began offering contemporary-style worship services in addition to continuing with traditional style services. As a result, the 1,700-seat sanctuary, constructed in the late 1980s, needed an upgrade of its sound reinforcement system, both to accommodate the more dynamic contemporary style in addition to better serving traditional needs. The single-level, fan-shaped main sanctuary presented some unique challenges to the sound…

What makes for an optimum church sound reinforcement system? On the surface, the obvious answer is “good sound quality.” Yet anyone possessing a grain of systems experience knows the correct answer is much more complicated. First, how does one define “good”? It has so many meanings, all of them potentially correct (or not!). Besides, the effectiveness of a system goes way beyond the realm of the often-subjective issue of sound quality. For example, is the system designed to be operator…
