Clear speech first, music second: pick the speakers and microphones for the room, then add a mixer that suits your team. Bad sound makes good speakers sound unprepared. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Speech clarity first, then music. - Size speakers and amplifier to the hall, not the budget. - Enough mixer channels for pulpit, choir and instruments. Quick answer A church needs clear speech at the back of the room before it needs loud music. Choose speakers and an amplifier for the size and echo of the hall, a mixer with enough channels for the pulpit, choir and instruments, and microphones that fit how people actually speak and sing. Plan for the volunteer who runs it: a simple, labelled mixer beats a complicated one nobody understands.

At minimum one for the pulpit and one for a leader. Add choir, instrument and wireless microphones as your service grows. Why do I get a loud screech? That is feedback: a microphone picking up its own speaker. Move speakers in front of microphones, lower the gain and see our feedback guide. Active or passive speakers? Active speakers have the amplifier built in and are simpler for small teams; passive speakers use an external amplifier and suit fixed installs. See our active vs passive guide. Do churches need a music licence? Playing recorded music in public can need licences from Kenya's music rights societies; confirm with MCSK and KAMP-PRISK. ## Why customers choose Qyvea **Genuine brands**: Manufacturer warranty on what we sell, so you are not gambling on the box. **One team, start to finish**: The people who advise you also install and support it. **Fast answers**: WhatsApp replies usually within 30 minutes, and delivery within 24 hours in Nairobi. **Easy to buy**: Pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card.
