Thanks Joseph. In my opinion sound design is about 2/3 science and 1/3 art. Getting a professional to give you some advice is a worthy investment. So many churches become frustrated with expensive buildings that have poor acoustics. It is much cheaper to do it right than to fix it. I highly recommend that the church consult with a A/V engineer in the design of their sanctuary, and the folks at jdbsound.com would be a good choice. Check out their message board an articles on church sound systems and acoustics.

Hi Steve,
Your suggestion is good but there is more to placing tubes on the walls in a random pattern. Size, patterns and placement are very important. Without a plan, most churches that use this method as a DIY project almost always create other problems while attempting to solve a problem they started with. Sure, Sono Tubes or even custom ordered tubes are very inexpensive and the physics on how it works is beautiful but the knowledge is very important. In some rooms, two 8 ft long tubes in the wrong place can give you a cheap sounding room and very low speech intelligibility or a room that is good enough for professional musical performances and excellent speech.
