Places of worship have recently become prolific users of audio visual equipment. The many applications of audio-visual really help preachers drive home their message to the congregation.Houses of Worship uses are:
- Voice Reinforcement - In most systems we are just helping the preacher or minister’s voice be amplified. A good sound system allows the voice to be heard evenly throughout the building regardless of where in the room the listener is located.
- Music & Voice Reinforcement - These systems can be more complex and vary depending on exactly the type of music and the denomination of the worship center. Combining a sound system that works well with a voice system adds another level of design possibilities.
- Video Projection - Many churches are gravitating towards large video screens in order to help communicate the sermons in addition to news and upcoming events. Using video can also be a great way to involve the youth; they can participate in the production and editing of any video programming. Monitors are often used for the sanctuary as well.
- Assisted Listening Systems - No matter how well designed the audio system, there can still be attendees that may have difficulty hearing. For these people with hearing disabilities, a personal listening device can be a great way to keep them involved and easily understand what is being said during the service.
- Recording or Broadcasting the Service - Audio only or audio and video recording can capture and help you archive and/or distribute the worship service. Video cameras can also be integrated into the AV system and allow you to post your service online. This is a revolutionary way to reach out to folks with transportation difficulties, disabilities, or illnesses.
