ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN YOUR CHURCH IS ITS’ SOUND SYSTEM.
HOW ARE WE ABLE TO SPREAD THE WORD IF NO ONE CAN HEAR IT CLEARLY?

BUYING, UPGRADING OR MAINTAINING A SOUND SYSTEM FOR YOUR CHURCH IS A HUGE UNDERTAKING. MANY MEMBERS OF YOUR CONGREGATION WHO HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH SOUND EQUIPMENT WILL ASSUME A FEW SPEAKERS, A COUPLE OF MICROPHONES AND YOU’RE GOOD TO GO. THEY’LL LOOK FOR YOU TO PROVIDE A SOUND SYSTEM THAT WORKS FOR AS LITTLE MONEY AS POSSIBLE, CUTTING CORNERS AND MAKING CONCESSIONS ALONG THE WAY. YOU’LL ALSO OF COURSE HAVE THE ADVICE OF SEVERAL MEMBERS WHO BECAUSE THEY’RE PROFICIENT AT WIRING THEIR HOME STEREO SYSTEM, OR PLAYED IN A LOCAL MUSICAL GROUP FEEL THEY HAVE A VAST KNOWLEDGE OF SOUND SYSTEMS. ALL OF THIS IS FINE AND UNDERSTANDABLE, EXCEPT FOR ONE THING…. WHEN THE SOUND SYSTEM DOESN’T WORK RIGHT YOU’LL BE THE ONE HEARING ABOUT IT LOUD AND CLEAR.

TOO OFTEN WE SEE THAT THE COST TO REPLACE OR REPAIR A BAD SOUND SYSTEM OFTEN OUTWEIGHS WHAT IT WOULD HAVE COST TO DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.

THE PROFESSIONALS AT ALEXANDRIA MUSIC HAVE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN SOUND SYSTEM DESIGN, LAYOUT AND INSTALLATION. WE BEGIN BY DOING AN ON SIGHT INSPECTION OF YOUR WORSHIP FACILITY ALONG WITH A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF YOUR NEEDS AND EXPECTATIONS. WE TAKE MEASUREMENTS AND NOTE ACOUSTIC PROPERTIES OF YOUR WORSHIP AREA SO THAT WE MAY WORK CLOSELY WITH OUR EQUIPMENT SUPPLIERS TO DEVELOP A LAYOUT MODEL THAT WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH OPTIMAL SOUND COVERAGE. THEN WE USE THOSE CALCULATIONS TO DETERMINE THE MOST EFFICIENT AND COST EFFECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO MEET THOSE NEEDS.

EQUIPMENT

ALEXANDRIA MUSIC ONLY USES EQUIPMENT WE BELIEVE IN AND TRUST. WE REFUSE TO COMPROMISE QUALITY FOR THE SAKE OF SAVINGS. WHEN WE COMPLETE A JOB WE FULLY EXPECT IT TO BE A SYSTEM THAT WILL MEET YOUR CHURCHS’ NEEDS FOR YEARS TO COME. ANYTHING LESS WOULD BE AN INJUSTICE TO YOUR CONGREGATION.

INSTALLATION

SOUND QUALITY IS THE HIGHEST CONCERN IN ANY INSTALLATION, BUT OUR INSTALLATION PROFESSIONALS ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT NOT ONLY DOES A SOUND SYSTEM HAVE TO SOUND AS GOOD AS POSSIBLE BUT IT NEEDS TO BE VISUALLY APPEALING AS WELL. WHEN A SOUND SYSTEM IS DONE CORRECTLY IT BECOMES SOMETHING THAT THE CONGREGATION GENERALLY DOESN’T EVEN NOTICE OR PAY ATTENTION TO. THIS IS WHAT OUR INSTALLATION TEAM STRIVES FOR.

TRAINING AND FOLLOW-UP

ONCE THE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE OUR STAFF WILL BE THERE TO TRAIN YOUR PERSONNEL HOW TO PROPERLY RUN AND MAINTAIN YOUR NEW SYSTEM. WE WANT YOUR SOUND SYSTEM TO SOUND GOOD NOT ONLY THE DAY WE COMPLETE INSTALLATION BUT FOR YEARS TO COME. WE WILL ALSO BE THERE FOR THE FIRST SERVICE AFTER INSTALLATION TO ASSIST YOUR STAFF IN ASSURING EVERYTHING RUNS SMOOTHLY.

ADDITIONALLY SHOULD YOU REQUIRE ANY UPGRADES, REPAIRS OR SYSTEM CHANGES FOR ANY REASON WE WILL BE THERE FOR YEARS TO COME. WHEN YOU NEED HELP OR SERVICE YOU’LL KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE AND WHO TO TALK TO. WE’RE HERE TO MAKE YOU SOUND GOOD.
