Church Systems
Areac Midlands Limited is a Christian run company that specialises in the design, manufacture and installation of quality, easy to use sound, vision and induction loop systems in churches. Each system is based on discussions held at the church and a demonstration during a Sunday morning service allowing the congregation to assess the quality of the system. Being a Christian company we know the needs of churches and understand the process that has to be undertaken before any work can be carried out.


Security  
With the increase in theft from churches many of our systems use a remote unit (similar to the units on the right) allowing the amplifier to be located in a secure location with the system controlled from within the church using a small wired remote unit. The remote can be permanently wired or connected to various sockets in the church.

System Operation
 
Using a wired remote unit allows the sound and induction loop system to be controlled from the rear of the church or from within the chancel by the priest or person leading the service.

Ease of Use
All of our systems are easy to use without compromising on the flexibility of the system. Many of our systems have muting on/off buttons on each input, allowing the input to be silently switched on/off without altering the setting of the volume control. 'Muting' buttons make the system easier to control as only the required inputs are switched on, thus, reducing the chances of 'acoustic feedback howl'.

Radio Microphones  
We have considerable experience in supplying VHF and UHF radio microphone systems. Great care is taken to ensure that the radio microphone system is suited to the church and its location so that the 'local taxi firm’ is not heard across the system during the sermon! For security reasons, the radio microphone receivers are usually fixed out of sight with a small indicator located on the mixer to show when the radio microphone transmitter has been switched on.
Installation
We have installed equipment in numerous grade 1 and grade 2 listed buildings. We take great care so as not to damage the fabric of the building when running cable and fitting the speakers or other items of equipment. In a number of locations the architect has had trouble finding the speakers and cabling which was painted to match the colour of the stonework. Whether the church is listed or not we take just as much care and pride in our work.

Instructions
Whilst all our systems are easy to use, with panels that relate to the church, a comprehensive instruction manual specific to the installation is supplied with each system.
Cost  
Despite being custom built, our systems are similar in cost to 'bought in' equipment, but with the guarantee that the system will meet your needs and the needs of the church. For case studies of various church installations please click on the links below.
