av SOLUTIONS FOR NORTHERN IRISH CHURCHES

Audiovisual systems in churches should just work. At least that’s what we believe at Epitome Living.

Churches in the north and south of Ireland are rarely installing AV systems with megachurch performance expectations, but that doesn’t mean the quality of the audio, video, and streaming should be anything less than excellent.

We focus on delivering high-quality, easy-to-use technology systems for churches that empower staff and volunteers to deliver services and events with confidence. We want churches to steward their resources well by delivering AV and streaming solutions that enhance a congregation’s experience and allow musicians and speakers to focus on what they’re called to do.

We’ve already delivered projects spanning from heritage-focused renovations to contemporary recording and performance spaces.

There’s no church AV project too big or too small in our eyes - what a congregation hears and sees matters.

wHY EPITOME LIVING?

We have 50+ years of experience with church AV systems across the team

Scott, Richard, and Jordan have been involved in the design, installation, and operation of church AV systems since they were teenagers. They bring this on-the-ground knowledge to their church installations at Epitome Living.

We’ve experienced your frustrations

Four of our staff members are involved in sound engineering for church and para-church organisations throughout the year. They know how to deal with microphones that crackle, amps that buzz, and mystery switches no one touches.

We understand church environments

An army of volunteers with little knowledge of professional AV needs to get up-to-scratch on how the sound desk works. Changing bands mean different instruments amplified on any given Sunday. Karen who sits in the third row from the back complains when the music’s too loud. We’ve encountered these scenarios and more, and we know how to design systems that cater to every congregational need.

We’ll treat your church with the same care as we do a high-end home

Quality isn’t reserved for residential projects at Epitome Living. We’ll leave your panel accessible with tidy, well-labeled wiring and explain clearly how your system works. We don’t want to get in and out of the job as quickly as possibly. Craftsmanship and attention to detail are important to us - no matter how big or small the project ask.
