It's Not Your Speakers ... It's Your Room

Why Acoustics Matter
Paragon AngleStruggling with poor sound clarity in your church, auditorium, or meeting space?
The problem might not be your audio system—it’s your acoustics.
In this episode of The Paragon Angle, Mark Coble (Audio & Acoustical Designer at Paragon 360®) breaks down the science of speech intelligibility and the 4 key acoustic principles that determine whether your audience hears clearly—or not at all.
Whether you're designing a worship center, conference room, performance venue, or large auditorium, understanding acoustics is critical to delivering clear, intelligible sound.
In this video, you’ll learn:
• What speech intelligibility is and why it matters
• How reverberation time (RT60) affects clarity and echo
• Why signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is critical for communication
• The role of frequency response (2–4 kHz) in speech clarity
• How sound distribution impacts every seat in the room
• Why acoustic treatment—not just better speakers—is essential
Even the best audio systems can fail in poorly designed spaces. From controlling reflections to optimizing loudspeaker coverage, this video explains how to create environments with crystal-clear sound.
