Consultants in Church

Acoustics - Sound - Lighting - Video - Facility Design

 

PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

One of the top things people complain about in churches is the sound.

 

Existing Churches

• Often have multiple sound problems

• Problems are caused by mistakes in the design of the room and media systems

• There is usually not a single cause

• Fixing these problems requires addressing several aspects at once

 

New Construction Churches

• Opportunity to avoid creating problems in the design phase

• Avoid spending money fixing problems post construction

• Design the room and systems correctly during the design phase

• Problems fixed post construction always costs more than had it been designed correctly

• Involve Eagle Sound from the earliest stage of the design phase

Untrained Operators

• Nearly anyone can learn how to operate a piece of equipment

• Acoustical problems and/or system design problems

o Make it difficult to achieve good sound

o Make it nearly impossible to have consistently good results

o Force you to use tricks to “get by”

• Operating the equipment and achieving great results is easy when you’re not fighting a bad room and/or bad system design

• We focus on teaching when, why, and how

o “When” this happens, this is “What” to do, “Why” you’re doing it, and “How” to do it

• We teach the users in conjunction with the operators

• We teach operators to train the users

• We teach ladder theory.

• What you learn from us can be applied to any system, regardless of equipment

 

Technology “patches”

• The laws of physics cannot be bent or broken

• Technology will not solve acoustic/room/system design problems/deficiencies

• No amount of electronics can solve an acoustical problem, regardless of the marketing you read

• If you can’t have a conversation in your sanctuary at normal speech levels with someone at who is 40-60 feet away, a sound system isn’t going to help make it better
