Acoustic Treatments for Churches

Churches and other large, spacious venues often have trouble with the quality of sound being produced by bands and preachers using microphones and speakers. From drums and guitars to organs and brass instruments the chances for distortion due to reverberation and sound reflection are increased when you don't have the right acoustic treatments to deflect and absorb sound waves. If you are in charge of the music at a church or similar house of worship consider high quality sound baffle equipment to help reduce reverb time in the venue and achieve optimum sound that will be enjoyed by the entire congregation.

SORBER sound baffles can be permanently attached to walls and ceilings to effectively control sound and greatly reduce reverberation time so drums and guitars don't drown out the sound of a chorus or preacher. Made from rigid 1.5" thick compressed fiberglass encased in heavy duty trunk cloth, SORBER sound baffles help to contain sound and control reflections that occur when instruments are played in enclosed but spacious areas. Without sound baffles this sound is free to bounce off walls and ceilings creating a distorted tone that can ruin the music being played or a hymn being sung. Easy to attach to ceilings and walls of a church SORBER baffles will help temper the reflections of sound waved producing a crisp and clear sound.

Many church bands include drums and while some have tried electronic drums to soften the tone many have complained that the sound from V-drums is artificial and not conducive to a church environment. A great way to optimize the acoustics of a church while still using natural percussion drums is to use high quality acrylic and Plexiglas drum shield enclosures. Using free-standing acrylic panels to form an enclosure around a drum kit you effectively temper the loud nature of the drums while still getting the desired natural sound of percussion. You can use drum enclosure kits in conjunction with SORBER baffles to fully control the reflection and reverberation of sound.

Almost every church will have an organ but again the acoustics of the church venue have to be planned accordingly so the sounds from the organ don't bounce off ceilings and walls and drown out a choir or pastor. Using superior speaker isolation equipment including Plexiglas panels and SORBER baffles you can effectively contain the tones from the organ speakers and reduce reflected sound. Many church goers enjoy the sound of organs and choirs but if the music produced isn't clear or is distorted by poor acoustics the experience is not the same. Keep your congregation happy by optimizing the acoustics of your church with excellent church acoustic treatment equipment.
