In this episode of The Church Sound Podcast, host Prentiss L. Thompson dives into one of the most debated topics in church audio: volume. How loud is too loud during worship? Is your mix inspiring worship or causing complaints from the pews?
We’ll unpack the technical, spiritual, and cultural dynamics of volume in church services—addressing questions like:
- What’s the ideal decibel range for worship environments?
- How do you balance energy and clarity without overwhelming the room?
- What tools can you use to measure and manage loudness effectively?
- And how do you respond to feedback from both leadership and congregation?
Whether you’re behind the board, on stage, or part of the leadership team, this episode will help you tune in to what really matters—clarity, connection, and creating a space where people can truly engage with God.
Turn it up (but not too much), and let’s talk volume—the right way. 🎚️🔊🙏
