This module discusses various things a congregation will consider when trying to create a worship environment that enhances the spoken word, as well as allowing for dynamic singing.

A four issue series of Worship the Lord by David Hosbach, titled “Audio, Acoustics, and Video in the Worship Setting,” explores room acoustics along with sound systems and hearing assistance. It covers common deficiencies or mistakes along with solutions.
