Your Equipment Guide to Church AV Installations
Tips from Tampa’s Trusted Church AV Installer
To ensure your entire congregation can hear the testimony, organs, choir, and band, trust in a professional church AV installation. There are many moving parts in church audio systems—and microphones, speakers, and amplifiers are just the start. Plus, technology should ideally blend into your church’s interior and avoid causing visual distractions or eyesores.
If your house of worship needs an upgrade, here’s what to look for in your new church AV installation in Tampa, FL.

Setting Up Your Speaker System
To ensure every area can hear clearly, we set up distinct audio zones with a power amplifier paired to sets of quality loudspeakers.
We recommend the following AV solutions for houses of worship:
- Electro-Voice EVC ZX1 Loudspeakers: Offer higher output for music and productions in small or mid-sized churches.
- Electro-Voice EVA Line-Array Loudspeakers: Ideal for mid to large-sized churches on par with performance venues.
- Bosch and Dynacord Amplifiers: Direct power to speakers and are designed to work with Electro-Voice speakers. Bosch, Dynacord, and Electro-Voice all live under the same family umbrella of Bosch Communications System.
Choosing the Right Amplifier Matters
Amplifiers take multiple source’s electrical signals and amplify them through a loudspeaker. So, if you use hanging microphones, lavalier microphones, or podium microphones, a quality amplifier is essential.
The Bosch DSP power amplifiers are suitable for most church AV installations and work to bring reliable audio quality everywhere, from Sunday school rooms to the worship room. Even at low volumes, the Dynamic Bass Enhancement keeps the volume from sounding thin.
Dynacord amplifiers are also a great pairing for the ZX1 loudspeakers because the Expandable Vertical Array (EVA) fills the worship room perfectly. The L-Series FIR-Drive power amplifiers are easy to control up to 16-amp channels and can easily be monitored. Their proprietary FIR- Drive technology optimizes loudspeakers’ factory settings to yield high-quality performance wherever the speakers are located within your house of worship.
Saving Energy with Church AV
We understand budgets are often tight for most houses of worship. Thankfully, modern AV systems can help your congregation save on energy costs.
Both Dynacord and Bosch PLENA matrix DSP amplifiers’ standby mode can turn on with the tap of a button or automatically when connected to a Bosch motion detector, which helps you reduce energy waste. Once people leave the room, auto standby mode will engage after a predetermined length of time and shift to low power consumption.
Then once the room has activity within it again, the amplifier shifts to being fully active again in less than a second. There’s no need for congregation members or Sunday school teachers to fiddle with turning on the AV system once your installation is complete.
