Produktbeschreibung

For those designing a new system or needing to update and get the most out of the one they have, the world of church audio is rife with pitfalls. Sound of Worship offers essential information to guide and inform choices, as well as offering the technical information to understand options and avoid costly mistakes when working with the acoustics and sound systems of the church. The book covers everything needed for planning, installing and implementing an effective system, from the design of the building and understanding the purpose and use of the sound system, from the technical aspects of the acoustic equipment to sound specification and types. The included CD has numerous audio examples to illustrate points made in the book, demonstrate the terms used, and what different choices will sound like, with before and after recordings of acoustic treatment and how it affects the overall sound of the church.
