Install Your Own Church Sound System? Here Are Some Cautionary Tales
Curt Taipale
05/23/13 04:29 PM,
This article is provided by Church Soundcheck Audio consultants often find themselves working with people in churches who seem eternally bent on saving money at any cost. This is the kind of church that will call with the seemingly innocent request to have the consultant design a new sound system for them.
