How audio works in a place of worship

In a place of worship, every word needs to be heard clearly, from the front row to the back, often in a large and reverberant space. Column speakers are designed for exactly this, directing sound towards the congregation and away from hard walls. Separate zones for halls, overflow rooms and entrances keep everyone included.

Music, licensing and control

Control: a matrix amplifier or mixer lets staff choose the source and volume for each zone, from wall panels or a touchscreen.

Licensing: playing recorded music in public in the UK needs TheMusicLicence from PPL PRS. Personal services like Spotify aren't licensed for business use, so you'll also need a business music service.

Soundtrack Your Business: we can supply Soundtrack, a music streaming service built for businesses, with 125 million+ songs and 2,500+ ready-made playlists, scheduled and controlled from one app.
