Have you been tasked with researching a new PA or audio visual system for your venue, business or church? Has your old system seen better days and you're looking at the options available to you these days? Wading through the options available to you while taking into consideration the cost can be tricky. After all, you know that you need a new sound system but you aren't the only one making this decision so you need to be sure you understand what you need to replace the old system as well as plan for the future.
While some stakeholders or parishioners might object to the price of a state of the art sound system, the benefits outweigh the down side of upgrading or installing a newer system when you think about it. How annoying is it to have a technical malfunction during a wedding or Sunday service? What kind of message does it send to visitors when something goes wrong or when it's difficult to hear a speaker from a distant part of the room? If nothing else, just a like a car, there comes a time when you want to start to look at newer models and think about trading the old one in before you're old one dies.
Your new system should make a profound impact on the quality of each and every meeting, performance or service in that it should be easy for people to hear and thus process what you are broadcasting into the air as well as making it simple for both the speaker and technical person to present that information. New technologies and the sound systems that use them are almost seamless as well as being nearly invisible to both the presenter as well as the audience. Wireless headsets and state of the art speaker systems make all of this possible and your audience might even remark that it's almost like there isn't a sound system anymore.
When you first start gathering information and researching your new PA or audio visual system, have some fun learning about the many options that are available to you. Embrace the technology and allow yourself to dream a little bit. The ability to broadcast, record and broadcast at a later date as well as integrating visual aspects into a simple PA system are all things that you can think about. How will these elements benefit your organization and are these options a possibility now or in the near future?
Sizing your sound system to your present venue is all well and good but looking to the future and knowing that there's a pretty good chance that your organization will be growing is also an important thought to keep in mind. Start out small with a good quality system that can be scaled, expanded, used in different capabilities as well as adding different functionality to it as time goes on is important. Have fun and embrace the technology that is available to you these days as you research your new sound system for your venue or organization.
