Faith-Based Sound Issue..

[davide256]

IME many PA systems  have distortion product irritation from the speaker and amp combination when played louder. So it may not be the volume but rather the distortion

products. Is it possible your amp is under powered for the volumes your pastor prefers?

I suggest you direct your pastor to this link. And advise him that he is not a professional, should hire one who can design/install/level set the PA system

correctly. Per the article , 75-85 db is all that is needed. If he wants more, it may be time for him to have a hearing checkup

I'm with you on this one, loud levels for sustained periods cause hearing damage, aggravate tinnitus.
