First choice for church sound and audio systems
Church Sound Information Resource


"It is often stated that every church purchases at least three sound systems. The first is the one obtained from the lowest bidder when the building is erected. The second is installed by the "expert" in the congregation. The third is the one designed, installed, and adjusted by a carefully chosen team consisting of a professional acoustical consultant, sound contractor, and a representative of the purchaser-owner gifted with an understanding of his need and capable of working creatively with the consultant and sound contractor." ... Don Davis
 

"It is unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money -that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the things it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better." ... John Ruskin

Well now you have come to the right place, somewhere where you can talk to true experts in this field and gain invaluable information to help you make the right decisions.
