Almost no sound problem in a church is solved by buying another loudspeaker. It is solved earlier, when the room shape, the ceiling height and the rear wall material are decided.
We design room acoustics and AV infrastructure as one discipline alongside the architecture, and we coordinate integrators so the system is installed in a room that already sounds right.
We work both on new projects and on diagnosing and correcting existing rooms that have become unintelligible.
Octave-band measurement to know whether the room favours music, speech or neither.
Speech intelligibility indices at several seating positions, especially under balconies and in the back rows.
Detection of flutter echo between parallel walls and bass build-up in corners, the usual causes of muddy sound.
Contribution from HVAC, projectors and street noise, which determines how loud you must go to be understood.
Correcting shape — ceiling slope, wall orientation, platform position — is more effective and cheaper than covering the room in panels.
We place absorption where it is genuinely needed and integrate it into the design: slatted timber, technical textiles, ceiling clouds and diffusive surfaces.
When the problem is the neighbour, the answer is not interior acoustics but mass, decoupling and airtightness.
We define the strategy (line array, distributed or hybrid), zone coverage, stage monitoring and feedback control.
Sizing and position based on real viewing distances, with attention to glare and ambient light.
House light for reading and safety, stage light for band and preacher, and camera light so the stream does not look flat.
Camera positions planned on the floor plan, cabling, control room and a broadcast audio mix treated separately from the room mix.
Volunteers run the system: we design scenes and presets so Sunday never depends on one specialist technician.
Typical ranges for rooms of 150 to 600 seats.

Often yes: well-placed absorption and diffusion plus a properly tuned sound system can restore intelligibility without touching the structure.
Yes. We define requirements and design criteria and coordinate your supplier. We do not sell equipment, so the specification stays independent.
Yes, with controlled reverberation and well-planned reinforcement. The usual mistake is leaving the room very live and trying to fix it with volume.
Yes, including isolation and noise-limit testing required by the applicable municipal ordinance.
If your room sounds wrong, or you are about to build it, we start by listening to it and measuring it. With data, decisions stop being a matter of opinion.
