Amplifier for ChurchPA

Amplifiers

for Church PA

If you do not decide to have powered (active) speakers (a realistic option these days, see below), you need an Amplifier, which boosts the signals from the desk and feeds the speakers. The power of the amp should be chosen to match the church environment and the speakers you have chosen.

With secure handling it is better to have too much power than too little. If the power amp cannot be placed in a different room you might be concerned about some makes, which produce considerable fan noise, which might disrupt silent or quiet church worship environments.
