Church Acoustics, Simplified.
If the spoken word is hard to hear due to excess reverb and echo, it is challenging for a sermon to connect with and inspire the congregation. If the worship band is too loud or the mix lacks clarity, it can distract the congregation from the impact and emotion of the service. If it is challenging for the congregation to communicate, community growth and fellowship cannot flourish.
Create the ideal acoustic environment for your church.
With the right acoustic panels, your church can reduce echo and reverb, improve speech intelligibility, control volume, and reduce background noise. By doing this, acoustic treatments can help your congregation focus on what matters–worshiping, connecting, and growing.
Acoustic Panels for contemporary churches
Modern church services with a full worship band can elevate services to a new level. However, if the acoustics of a sanctuary are not well treated for a live band, the sound can quickly get out of control.
Tall ceilings and hard reflective surfaces are often found in churches and can lead to long reverb times. This results in the music being too loud, hard to hear, and failing to connect and inspire.
For contemporary churches, our Hi-Mid Acoustic Panels and Broadband Acoustic Panels are excellent choices for controlling reverb times, balancing the frequency spectrum, and improving clarity and impact.

Sound Panels for traditional churches
Sanctuaries were originally designed to have longer reverb times and naturally amplify spoken word and music. However, in today's larger sanctuaries and with the use of PA systems, it is common to have clarity and speech intelligibility issues resulting from the echo and reverb.
By implementing Hi-Mid Acoustic Panels, the natural reverb time of the sanctuary can be balanced and controlled, allowing sermons and the spoken word to come through clearly to all congregation members.

Fellowship Hall Acoustics
The acoustics in a church's fellowship hall, nursery, or other meeting areas can also pose challenges.
These are often open rooms with hard reflective surfaces that make them loud, echoey, and reverberant. This can quickly turn a place intended for fellowship into a very difficult space to share meaningful connections and conversations.
Improving these spaces within the church by installing acoustic panels can make them much more comfortable and accommodating for gathering and building a community.
