Technicians from Ovation Audio will be at both Masses today (June 28) to fine-tune the sound system. We appreciate your patience as we work things out over the next few weeks.

The new system, like the one before, was designed specifically for our space to achieve the maximum coverage and intelligibility. Because Mother of God Church was built before sound systems were invented, we must balance the need for clear amplification and the integrity of the art and architecture. The new system accomplishes this very well.

Still, there is an echo in the transept of the church where sound from the speakers bounces off the large, stained-glass windows and walls above the confessionals. Acoustic treatment in these areas would be very expensive and detract from the artwork.
   
If you have difficulty hearing, we suggest that you will have the best listening experience sitting about four pews back from the front (or further). If you wear Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids, you can also download the “Listen Everywhere” app from Google Play or Apple’s App Store onto your smartphone and select “MOG Listen.”
