Acoustically Sound Sound System Design

If you are aware of your sound system -- it's not working properly. You want to clearly understand what people are saying, or hear music clearly, well-balanced, and undistorted.

Nearly all performance and worship spaces have a sound system. These systems range from a simple lecture system to an elaborate audio-visual system with feeds to other rooms, broadcast feeds, etc. Your design is limited by your needs, and of course your budget.

Would you like to receive a proposal for sound system design. Just fill out the sound system check list. With the information that you provide, I can build a computer model of your room. This model will help me design a sound system which is perfectly suited to your room.

    • avoid feedback,
    • maximize speech intelligibility,
    • provide clarity even in a reverberant space.

    You can take the sound system design that I develop for you and put it out to bid for the best price to install. (I can suggestion great sound system contractors, if you wish). This way, you are sure that your system was designed specifically for your needs, not just to sell equipment.

    In fact, as a member of the National Council of Acoustical Consultants, I am not allowed to sell sound equipment.
