20+ Years Experience • Trusted by Local Churches • Pro AV Engineers
Churches call us when:
Sermons sound muffled or unclear
Mics squeal with feedback
A buzz or hum distracts during worship
The livestream sounds bad online even if it’s fine in the room
Volunteers do their best, but mixes aren’t consistent week to week
Leaders wonder: “Do we need new gear, or can this be fixed?”
A consultant brings outside perspective — diagnosing problems, tuning your system, and equipping your team with a clear plan.
Find the cause of hums, buzzing, dropouts, or uneven mixes.
Adjust EQ and speaker alignment so every seat hears clearly.
Optimize routing, EQ, and compression so services translate across phones, TVs, and laptops.
Train your team with simple, repeatable workflows.
Recommend new gear only when current equipment can’t meet your goals.

During a consultation, we don’t just listen to the room — we look at the key areas that typically cause churches the most frustration. This evaluation helps pinpoint whether problems come from configuration, acoustics, or equipment limitations.
Gain structure & clarity – Are vocals and instruments balanced, or getting lost in the mix?
EQ and speech intelligibility – Can sermons be clearly understood in every seat?
Feedback & buzzing issues – Identifying what’s causing squeals, hums, or noise.
Monitor mixes & in-ear systems – Checking levels so musicians hear well without overpowering FOH.
Livestream/broadcast mix quality – Why audio may sound fine in the room but distorted online.
Room acoustics – Assessing whether echo or reflections are making sound muddy.
System safety & reliability – Looking at snapshots, routing, and signal flow for stability.
Upgrade recommendations – Only when necessary, based on your goals and budget.
We visit your church (or connect remotely) to evaluate your sound system, acoustics, and current setup.
You’ll receive clear recommendations on what’s causing issues like muffled sound, feedback, or poor livestream audio — and the best next steps to fix them.
During the consultation, we demonstrate problem areas in your mix, routing, or equipment, so you know exactly what needs attention.
If needed, we can provide a proposal for training, upgrades, or additional engineering support. No pressure, just practical solutions.
Small churches with volunteer sound teams
Medium to large churches with feedback, echo, or livestream issues
Multi-campus churches needing consistent audio across locations
Leaders unsure if it’s time for gear upgrades or better engineering
Many churches pair livestream setup with:
Church Sound System Design & Tuning – Make the room and gear work with your team.
Sound System Installation – Professional cabling, routing, and commissioning.
Broadcast & Livestream Audio Setup – Separate mix, clean routing, platform-ready levels.
A consultation gives you a clear evaluation of your current system — what’s working, what’s not, and what steps will actually improve your sound. No pressure, no unnecessary upgrades.
A consultation is an evaluation of your current setup. We listen to your system, note problem areas like feedback or muffled sound, and provide recommendations for next steps.
Not always. Many issues come from how equipment is configured or tuned. During a consultation, we assess what can be improved and identify if any gear upgrades are actually necessary.
Training is not part of the consultation. We may recommend training or coaching as a separate service if it’s the right solution for your team.
Yes. We review how your system performs both in-room and online, then provide recommendations to improve clarity across platforms.
If you’re dealing with issues like unclear vocals, recurring feedback, or a poor livestream mix, a consultation helps identify the root cause and outline your options before you commit to upgrades or services.
