Houses of Worship
Custom AV solutions for inspiring worship experiences
Jack Bernard, the owner of JB Pro Sound, has a quarter century of experience in the design and installation of AV systems for houses of worship.
Whether you worship in a large urban cathedral, a synagogue, a mosque or a small country church, JB Pro Sound can provide for your worship AV needs. We have more church installations to our credit in our region than any other AV systems contractor. We offer complete systems design, sales, installation and project management as well as component sales and "do-it-yourself" assistance.
Dynamic Range
Church sanctuaries, synagogues and other houses of worship are usually quieter than other venues. The sound system must be quieter than usual to prevent audible noise in the area. This means that any mechanical noise (fans etc.) and electronic noise (buzz, hum, hiss etc.) must be eliminated. Many listening environments have a “sweet spot” at or for which the sound system performance is optimized. It’s usually where or near the operator is located in many concert and live venues. In a house of worship, every seat must be optimized for adequate signal-to-noise ratio and suitable early-to-late energy ratios. i.e. It has to sound good everywhere. By that we mean that the spoken word must be intelligible, live music must be balanced, and program music in sync with video applications at all seats.
AV Systems Integration
JB Pro Sound can provide seamless integration of your audio, video, stage lighting and IT systems. Knowing the right equipment for the right application is important and that becomes even more so when you begin to integrate and interconnect AV components.
Other Systems
Modern houses of worship have a great deal of technical needs that must minister to a wide variety of human needs.

What Do All Those Dials Do!?
Don’t fret. We can assist your lay or professional staff in the correct operation of your AV systems. Of course if it’s a system we designed and installed that task will be much easier. But we can come in and fix your existing system, tune it up and help your operator(s) with that as well. If your budget does not allow for upgrades and replacements we can get your system and people to “be all they can be” This is a very teachable skill set for most people if the system is reasonably good and is setup and tuned by professionals. Most of you folks know about teaching someone to fish. This is much more predictable than fishing. And what do all those dials do? We’ll educate you.
