DM Music Caring for Church Sound & Audio Visual Systems

“We are absolutely delighted with our new sound system. Some of the elderly folk have said that it is the first time that they have felt really involved in the worship for years. Installation went very smoothly from our standpoint and we were very appreciative and impressed by Ben's patience and skill as he briefed us on the operation of the system. …Many thanks again for an excellent job.”
Jeff Maddin
Royston Methodist Church

“The Engineers have done a very neat job and it was a great pleasure to welcome them to All Saints Church.”
Keith Thacker
All Saints Church, Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex

“Just to let you know that the gear DM installed is great and has made a big difference to our sound”
Adrian Rose
Linton Free Church, Cambs

“Please pass on my thanks to the team for the excellent job they did installing our new system”
“Very impressed with installation team and teaching session”
Revd Karen Knight
Old Independent Church, Haverhill

“The DAC came today as expected and were very impressed indeed. They said they thought it was the best installation of a projector and screen that they had ever seen in a medieval church and they will be recommending that other churches in the Diocese come and see.”
David Cutts
St Margaret's, Ipswich

“A fantastic 4 days of effort, hard work and advice. An outstanding installation which matched the high level of professional conduct by the 3 workers. Thank you for the fantastic service! God bless!”
Steve Thompson
City Gates Christian Centre, Ilford

Six weeks in and we are still getting positive feedback about the improved sound, vision, recording quality, etc. …the improvement in sound quality is vast, and the clarity and flexibility of the projection system and screens is a huge improvement over the OHPs!"
Michael Campbell
Worthing Tabernacle

Graphic Equalisers

Graphic Equalisers are essential!

Ignore the room at your peril!

Q. Graphics are a luxury aren’t they? Not an essential like monitors or speakers?

A. Graphics are integral to good sound re-inforcement. The mixer, mics etc are all instruments in that they contribute to the sound. Perhaps the most significant instrument is the room itself! Graphic EQ’s addresses the ‘acoustic signature’ of the room, equalising the resonant peaks and troughs in the room - the benefits are no less than dramatic
- more gain before feedback
- mixer EQ’s are more accurate and effective
- radically improves intelligibility

Q. OK How do I set up a graphic?

A. Graphic EQ’s are not tone controls. Graphics are best set with a spectrum analyser. (DM Music will do this as part of an installation.) Some units have built-in analysers or feedback eliminators.
