What To Look For In A New Audio Visual System

By Eric M Odessean


Is your business, venue or church looking into getting a new PA system? Is the one that you presently have a bit outdated or has your business or congregation grown over the years and folks are starting to talk about the possibility of updating or expanding your current audio visual equipment but you're not sure about what direction you should head? While a new system might be needed, you want to make an educated decision and take the many variables into consideration before presenting the proposal to the powers that be. Price, options as well as capabilities all come into play while wanting to be careful about the price tag, of course.

While some stakeholders or parishioners might object to the price of a state of the art sound system, the benefits outweigh the down side of upgrading or installing a newer system when you think about it. How annoying is it to have a technical malfunction during a wedding or Sunday service? What kind of message does it send to visitors when something goes wrong or when it's difficult to hear a speaker from a distant part of the room? If nothing else, just a like a car, there comes a time when you want to start to look at newer models and think about trading the old one in before you're old one dies.

A newer sound system is almost invisible and it can only enhance the listener's experience while an old crackling PA system detracts from what your audience came to see and hear. New headsets that are almost invisible and which utilize wireless technology help both the audience and the speaker to forget that sound is being amplified. Say goodbye to old school lapel mics and a speaker being chained to the front of the room or the pulpit, so to speak.

When looking into a new PA system for your business, venue or church, take some time and learn about all the options that you have. Think of all the different scenarios where your going to be using the system in addition to worship services. Maybe during the holidays you have a choir or the children put on plays. Perhaps you're thinking of adding instruments to the worship service at some point.

Choose a PA system that can grow with your church and look a few years into the future and plan for the almost unexpected applications where a robust sound system might be helpful. A solid, basic system that can be expanded upon and well thought out is an investment that the church will benefit from for years to come.
