Introduction

One supplier and one point of contact, means a co-ordinated team and better value for money.

Installations in places of worship are often complex. There are heritage aspects to consider, systems are used for a huge variety of things—from speech to music, and there’s almost always a desire for the equipment to blend in more than in any other type of venue.  

A successful installation project in a place of worship is about more than the technical solution. It’s about making sure your staff and volunteers are on board with the changes. It’s about helping stakeholders understand why certain decisions are being made.

Whether you’re an architect, consultant, volunteer, or staff member, we understand your unique situation because of our 40+ years’ experience integrating sound, lighting, video, and AV equipment in places of worship across the UK.

Solutions for Worship

Professionally designed audio solutions to cater for clear speech, multimedia, singing and instrumentation from orchestra to full band, as required by the church. As the church space is served by both non-professional and professional musicians, we can assist in facilitating both needs.

Our Expertise

Is my need too small for Adlib?
Arrow right

Whether you require a small mixing desk, a single microphone or a full installation, we want to work with you to provide the best solution for your space.

How quickly can you turn around a project?
Arrow right

We work exceedingly hard to satisfy any project timeline, but this is subject to the church team's information and decisions, equipment availability and engineer resource. The sooner we speak with you about your project, the better we can serve the timescale. It's never too early to make contact, but sometimes it can be too late.

What type of sound system is best for our space?
Arrow right

Churches often overspend on technology for two main reasons. Firstly, the chosen solution lacks the scalability required for church growth. Secondly, the technical design fails to meet industry standards. This typically occurs when enthusiasm precedes a proper technical process and suitable design. To address this, it is crucial to develop a competent technical design that aligns with the current and future needs of the church. This is where our consultative approach reduces risks and enhances confidence for churches—making for sound stewardship of resources.

Is a Large Format Display better than a Projector?
Arrow right

Projectors have served churches exceptionally well over the last 25 years in communicating the message. Still, as local communities have adjusted their content to more video, such as streaming, there are advantages to Large Format Displays (TVs). If the right size can be obtained, greater contrast and colour control provide a more vivid image, which can be more impactful and, therefore, more memorable. It is also about the aesthetics of a space and the suitability of a technology. With your information, we can advise which visual solution is the most appropriate for your space.

How much will this entire project cost?
Arrow right

At Adlib, we understand that budgeting for a project is an important consideration. The cost of your entire project depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the project, required equipment, customisations, and additional services. To obtain an accurate estimate, we recommend contacting our team directly. By discussing your specific requirements and project details, we can provide a detailed quote that aligns with your budget and ensures a successful outcome. Contact us today to start the conversation and receive a personalised cost estimate for your project.

What is the expected lifespan of the equipment?
Arrow right

This depends on several factors, including the choice of hardware, environmental factors such as heat and cold, whether the system is used competently, and servicing and maintenance over the term.

How quickly can you turn around a project?
Arrow right

We work exceedingly hard to satisfy any project timeline, but this is subject to the church team's information and decisions, equipment availability and engineer resource. The sooner we speak with you about your project, the better we can serve the timescale. It's never too early to make contact, but sometimes it can be too late.

How can I best manage my church`s financial expectations?
Arrow right

This is all down to working with a trusted partner that wants the best technical solution for the budget, whether a wireless mic to full AV installation. If we don’t believe something is competently achievable for a budget, we will say it. We don’t want to waste the church`s resources.

Can we arrange a site visit?
Arrow right

Yes. If you're considering Adlib for your project, we'll want to spend some time with you to look at your space and get to meet your team.

Are in-ear monitors a good idea for my worship band?
Arrow right

In-ear monitors are a great idea for worship bands performing in houses of worship of different sizes. They provide individualised sound monitoring, ensuring each band member can hear themselves clearly without being affected by stage noise or room acoustics. In-ear monitors also help minimise sound spillage, allowing for better control over sound levels and maintaining a reverent atmosphere. They are particularly beneficial for consistent performance quality across venues of varying sizes. Adlib specialises in audio solutions for houses of worship and can assist you in selecting the right in-ear monitoring system for your band's needs.

Still, as local communities have adjusted their content to more video, such as streaming, there are advantages to Large Format Displays (TVs).

It is also about the aesthetics of a space and the suitability of a technology. With your information, we can advise which visual solution is the most appropriate for your space.

How will we maintain the equipment on a regular basis?
Arrow right

When a system is designed properly, the need for emergency responses is reduced significantly because the risk is designed out of the solution. Annual maintenance is wise stewardship of any resource (including leadership teams). This can also provide updated training and good practice for new team members.

Does Adlib do training?
Arrow right

To increase the return on the investment for a church, it is important that once a technical system is upskilled, so are the users, to maximise the experience for all. We do provide training onsite for local teams and, in addition, have technical days with manufacturers at our three offices -London, Liverpool and Glasgow which are Free of Charge. Sign up for our newsletter to keep updated.

Can Adlib provide ongoing service and maintenance?
Arrow right

Yes - we have an in-house service team who can look after one-off repairs, or offer an ongoing service contract including PAT Testing, LOLER inspection, and preventative maintenance.

Will we get any kind of warranty?
Arrow right

You will get the full benefit of any manufacturer's warranty and, if you choose to include an Adlib service contract in your project, you’ll be able to predict the ongoing cost of maintaining your system to ensure it’s as good as it was on day one for years to come.

Is my need too small for Adlib?
Arrow right

Whether you require a small mixing desk, a single microphone or a full installation, we want to work with you to provide the best solution for your space.

What experience does Adlib have in the church space?
Arrow right

As well as the technical ability to deliver projects to the highest standard around the UK, we have specialists who understand each area we work in, including the church community.  They are knowledgeable and experienced in church communities, committees and processes, church leadership teams, trustees, church PA & AV teams, financial stewardship, process transparency, church priorities and team developments.

Do you have experience working in listed buildings?
Arrow right

Yes, we have extensive experience installing sound, lighting, and video systems in listed buildings - from Liverpool Cathedral to the Tower of London.

What locations do you cover?
Arrow right

With our facilities strategically located in Liverpool, London, and Glasgow, we proudly offer Church AV Systems & Integration services across the UK. As we frequently undertake projects nationwide, we have integration and service engineers stationed throughout the country. This allows for a prompt response time and cost-effective solutions.
