Houses of Worship Top Story

Large, Small, National, Local: Pick Your Event for Training and Mingling
These days, a worship media specialist who doesn't mind living out of a suitcase could spend a big chunk of the year on the road, traveling to the major national trade shows and conferences that have tailored programs to reach the church market.

Or, if all that "gone" time doesn't appeal, the same specialist could stay close to home and wait for one of the multitude of smaller, regional, or traveling events springing up around the country.

Two trends largely account for the burgeoning of the worship conference and trade show business. First, houses of worship are a big business, and getting bigger all the time. By some accounts, houses of worship represent the healthiest segment of the pro AV marketplace. Click here for more...

Installation News

D.A.S. for Saint Andrews Church
Saint Andrews Church can be found in the Australian city of Walkerville. The D.A.S. sound system for this church was installed by the Australia-based BSS Sound and Lighting. The required systems were supplied by D.A.S. distributor for Australia Magna Systems & Engineering.

Chosen by BSS Sound and Lighting for the system upgrade were the Factor and Dynamics series products. Four white DS-8s were installed near the altar along with four white Factor 5s for the sides of the aisles. The Factor products were elected thanks to their compact size, great sound, and white color option. Click here for more...


Sound Physics Labs Speakers Team with Lectrosonics Wireless
Tracing its roots to 1924, East 91st Christian Church in Indianapolis has emerged as one of Indiana's most noteworthy houses of worship. That reputation has been aided by the sheer size of the sanctuary itself, built large enough to house the largest Schantz pipe organ in the Hoosier State.

With size come problems, though, particularly as the church has worked to get in step with the changing times. Like many other churches, East 91st has sought to introduce more contemporary services into the mix in a bid to stay as relevant as possible to the sight- and sound-savvy younger generation.
