Sound systems for mosques
Clear, even sound from the main prayer hall to the outdoor areas.
What matters for your venue
Intelligibility before power
A voice understood everywhere is better than a high volume, which only increases reverberation.
Zones that fit
Main hall, annexes, courtyard: each area has its own level.
Simple for those in charge
The imam and the people in charge use the system without a technician's help.
Possible solutions
A mosque needs a clear voice for every worshipper, from the front row to the annexes, and a call to prayer that carries outdoors. The acoustics of the building, often very reverberant, drive the choice and placement of the speakers.
