When looking for a new PA for your church’s worship centre, sanctuary or children’s space, there is no shortage of loudspeaker options. While the abundance of choices may seem overwhelming, they can be broken down into three basic types of PA systems—point source, vertical line arrays and column loudspeakers. Each style offers particular advantages for different music and speech requirements, room types and architectural styles.

Antes de examinar las ventajas y desventajas de cada tipo de altavoz, es importante sopesar algunos factores clave.

• - The size and shape of the seating area that requires sound coverage
• - The degree of focus on music and the types of music the system needs to support
• - Gauging and maximisng your system’s gain before feedback 
• - The architecture of the space and the need to focus sound away from acoustically reflective areas
• - Aesthetic concerns and sight-lines
