Church acoustics are unique. They are very different from concert halls and recording studios. To get a better sounding church, a church needs people with very special talents. It also seems that most Architects, Acoustical Experts and audio companies don't have the expertise to offer church what they really need. Just as you don't ask a motor cycle mechanic to repair the navigational systems of a Boeing 747 airplane, congregations shouldn't be hiring Architects to design their churches.
Architects are very useful in the engineering of the structure.
Instead, churches should be hiring a Church Acoustician for the design of the sanctuary and sound system. This Page was created by JdB Sound, Acoustic Lab.
