Worship Houses

Worship houses need to satisfy requirements for both speech and music. Speech intelligibility is achieved with a suitable voice reinforcement system. Appropriate musical acoustics depends on denomination and worship style, with contemporary worship requiring less reverberance than traditional worship.  Worship houses that include both traditional and contemporary worship services present particular challenges to satisfy conflicting acoustical requirements.
