Though we specialize in church sound systems and church video projection we serves other industries as well. Our customers includes schools, arenas, stadiums as well as smaller Catholic churches and houses of worship.

Or goal is to offer a custom system for each customer's unique space, budget and performance needs. Often the design and installation is just the beginning. Our relationship with our customers lasts far beyond.

Church Sound, Church Video: Were the new age meets history




I. Video Projection Systems: First Baptist Church of Paris in South Paris, Maine wanted to add video projection to their historic church. They were very concerned about maintaining the aesthetics of the space.  A motorized retractable projection screen is a highlight. The way it disappears when the screen is not needed is exactly what they wanted! We integrated the video projector and computer for a variety of kinds of presentations. 



II. A church sound system upgrade was also done as part of the AV system design and installation project. A Highlight: New Pro Bose® speakers, designed for the church environment, offer greatly improved sound quality and intelligibility. Speakers were carefully mounted adjacent to window casings and painted to match. The result is the vastly improved sound they needed and the discreet appearance they wanted. 

South Paris Maine is a quaint village and First Baptist Church of Paris is an important piece of the fabric of the community. One of the facets of this project that stood out for us was the focus of upgrading technology, not just for the congregation, but also for the community of South Paris.  This is best explained in the words of the Pastor…


"Beautiful sound!"

The quality of sound has truly impressed me; NO comparison to the old system. And the video projection performs beautifully also. You had such sensitive concern for our historic structure. Your crew collaborated with our electrician to preserve visual authenticity. There are some new wires your crew actually had to point out to me— it is just amazing! Even the placement of jacks in the aisles is discreet, so during weddings they won’t show in photographs. I am especially grateful for your approach of “we’re putting it in now” but we will “follow up in a few weeks to ensure you are comfortable with the system.” We have really benefited from this. And, the project came in on budget.


Our new audio visual capabilities allow us the ability to offer our church for local groups’ use for a broader range of community events and concerts. Prior to choosing PSNE we called some other ministers of historic churches and they were very complimentary. This cemented our decision to entrust this project to your company.  - Pastor Mary Beth Caffey, First Baptist Church of Paris
