Glenview is investing in the sound system in our church. We want everyone to fully experience our services. Based on acoustic testing and your feedback, we have made major updates to improve speech clarity throughout the sanctuary.

New Sound System Upgrades

• New Rear Fill Speakers: We have just installed a dedicated "fill" speaker to boost speech clarity specifically for the back half of the sanctuary.

• Less Echo, More Clarity: This speaker is tuned to deliver crisp, direct sound to the rear rows without making the front of the room too loud.

Pro-Tips for the Best Audio Experience

Even with new speakers, room design impacts sound. For the absolute best speech intelligibility:

• The Front is Still Best: Speech clarity is naturally highest toward the front rows,
  where sound travels directly from the main speakers.

• Use Visual Cues: Sitting closer lets you see the speaker's face and lip movements, which helps your brain process speech much faster.

• Avoid Corners: Try to sit away from side walls and deep corners where sound waves tend to bounce and create an echo.

Looking for Pristine, Direct Audio?

We have also launched a brand-new Auracast™ Broadcast System. This technology streams the service's audio digitally directly into your personal hearing aids or earbuds-completely bypassing room echo.

To learn how to connect your device today, ask someone in the sanctuary for a "How to Connect to Auracast" guide, or follow these instructions.
