The challenge
A congregation of 5,000+ spans the prayer hall, courtyard and surrounding streets. Speech must stay intelligible everywhere through monsoon weather, and the daily call to prayer must run reliably on schedule.
Our solution
Weatherproof column speakers cover the hall and courtyard with even, natural speech reproduction, while long-throw horns extend coverage to outer areas. A scheduled broadcast system automates the call to prayer with instant microphone override, and the amplifier chain is simple enough for the mosque's caretakers to operate daily.
