Is A New Sound System Really Necessary

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 Is the one that you presently have a bit outdated or has your business or congregation grown over the years and folks are starting to talk about the possibility of updating or expanding your current audio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.

Price is often the biggest consideration when we're talking about upgrading or expanding a PA system or audio visual system for a church or any other establishment, as far as that's concerned. Some people are going to balk at the price tag, of course, but the necessity and need should be discussed first. An old sound system can be embarrassing to any venue, as a whole. Whether it be your normal Sunday service, a wedding or any gathering, it sets a bad tone, so to speak, when malfunctions occur or when the sound system simply isn't as robust and reliable as you might hope it could be. Imagine having a problem during a wedding or having older attendees having difficulty hearing the speaker from the back of a large room. Vital information is lost and people become frustrated.

Your new system should make a profound impact on the quality of each and every meeting, performance or service in that it should be easy for people to hear and thus process what you are broadcasting into the air as well as making it simple for both the speaker and technical person to present that information. New technologies and the sound systems that use them are almost seamless as well as being nearly invisible to both the presenter as well as the audience. Wireless headsets and state of the art speaker systems make all of this possible and your audience might even remark that it's almost like there isn't a sound system anymore.

When researching what your venue needs as far as a new PA or audio visual system, keep an open mind. Find out about the various technologies and options that are available to you. As technology speeds off into the future, these technologies become less expensive and more feasible. While you might think that all you want to do is replace an aging sound system with one that is more reliable, you might find that you can add options that you had never even thought of before like CCTV, recording of services or even broadcasting of services or events.

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.
