Quotes from page 35 of the book "Why Are Church Sound Systems and Church Acoustics So Confusing?" Copyright © 1991 "There is never enough money to do the job right in the first place but there is always enough money to do it four times." Acoustics designs the sound system The worship programs determines the loudness of the sound system The Platform ministry suggests the size of the mixer. The Style of worship suggests the design of new sanctuaries or the Acoustics Signature of existing Houses of Worship. |
