At places of worship, it is often difficult to hear the preacher talking. Sometimes they are unfortunate and there was not enough funding for speakers and a microphone, or maybe the wrong speakers for the size of the room are hooked up. Regardless of the situation, many are familiar with the phrase "What did he/she say?" that echos amongst the crowd during a religious gathering. Inspirational and motivational moments go unheard when they should be enjoyed. The quality of sound we are so familiar with at home, in our cars, and at the movies is nothing like the disappointing sound quality we hear at our place of worship.

The culprit of this problem? Poor speaker quality and poor speech. Also factor in the features of worship places and their architecture. High ceilings, an abundance of glass, long naves all create a poor environment for sound systems. Often, people feel that buying high quality speakers will do the trick, but too many times they end up wasting money that could have gone to something else. Fortunately, there are many speakers and speaker set ups out there to help all worship auditory issues. Technology advances all around us, but usually never at important places like places of worship.

Places of worship with poor sound systems find it hard to hear both speeches and music. Usually, these sound systems are for speeches only, but why settle and allow the chorus to go unheard or the organ to sound dull and far away to the people sitting all the way in the back? Speakers should not only amplify sound, but balance and tone it as well.

It's time for places of worship to cross the line and bring in sound systems and speakers like we are accustomed to in our everyday lives.

Center cluster speakers are good for small places of worship because they put all of the sound at the center of the stage. The sounds bounce off the walls, ceiling and floor, and virtually everyone can hear them and the quality of the audio is decent. Usually, with center cluster speakers you'll hear all the louder, closer sounds over the background sounds.

Left-right speakers are also great for small places of worship, but are better for larger places. Left-right speakers make the background noise (such as the organ) match up with the voices (such as the chorus), so that you hear everything equally and neither sound is more prominent that the other.

Left-center-right speakers are great for both large and small places of worship. You hear the sound from everywhere, and the tone and balances of all of the sounds are about equal.

Delay speaker systems are recommended for any place of warship because it allows the sound from the speakers to hit your ears all at the exact same time.

Regardless of the sound systems right for your place of worship, don't settle for something cheap. Consider the shape of the church, the size, the materials it's made from, and the type of speakers that would be best before going out to look for a sound system. You'll want something that people will appreciate. If you have to, go through a long process for places of warship or have a fundraiser. People should hear the preacher and the chorus over the "What?" whispers.
