100-volt column speakers are often the first choice when it comes to speech amplification in modern and classic churches and similar venues. The main advantage of column speakers is that they offer broad sound dispersion. By placing the speakers in multiple locations and suspending them on both sides of the room, the audience can enjoy clearly audible speech and a balanced sound. Regular centrally located speakers, on the other hand, would be far too loud for the front row and would produce too much reverb.
