By paying careful attention to the sound system design, we can improve intelligibility quite significantly. The important factors include:

• Install accurate speakers which provide controlled dispersion angles and even coverage.

  The speakers must be selected and installed to provide accurate sound and project it evenly throughout the seating area of the room, and not into the ceiling where more echo is produced.

• Use the right microphones for each application.

  By using microphones which are carefully selected for accurate sound reproduction and proper pick-up and proximity characteristics we can greatly improve intelligibility. There is nothing worse that muddy sounding microphones or speakers to destroy intelligibility.

• Use a speaker delay system in large rooms.

  In larger rooms with front main speakers and fill-in speakers part way back, or under a balcony we use a digital delay system to “time align” the speakers. Without this, even more echo will be produced artificially.
