Places of worship benefit from new technology

Many churches and places of worship rely on sound reinforcement systems in order to effectively address their congregations. In fact, other technical requirements often include lighting systems and video equipment and there are several suppliers of state-of-the-art equipment ideally suited for this market.

Prosound (Pty) Ltd is one such company who offers design, supply and integration for audio and lighting needs. Prosound's Lee Thomson comments: "We recently supplied a Meyer sound system to the Rivers Church in Sandton and prior to this T&A Lighting, a division of Prosound, did a major upgrade to the lighting system at the Woord en Lewe Church in Boksburg.

T&A lighting's Ian Blair explains: "Teams of workers were stationed at the church for 18-20 hours a day working around services that were being held during the project."

Africa's top suppliers of equipment and services allied to this segment will be exhibiting at Mediatech Africa, which takes place from 20-22 July at the Coca-Cola dome in Northriding where the latest in technology and equipment will be on display.

This will provide the perfect opportunity for places of worship, which may be looking to install or to update existing equipment, the ideal opportunity to browse the latest state of the art equipment without the inherent cost of visiting overseas exhibitions.

The diverse programme at Mediatech Africa will include live demonstrations, workshops, and a business matchmaking programme. Visitors will be able to pre-register and be matched to relevant exhibitors. Meetings will then be facilitated between interested parties, allowing exhibitors to engage with visitors on a more personal level.

Visit www.mediatech.co.za to register for free before 6 July 2011 and avoid paying R50 at the door.

Companies wanting to take advantage of the exhibition's reach should contact Claire Fuhri or Simon Robinson on +27 (0)11 025 3180 or email az.oc.hcetaidem@selas. For further information visit www.mediatech.co.za.
