Erbim Elektronik | Mosque Sound Systems, Acoustic Design and Installation

Erbim Elektronik | Mosque Sound Systems and Acoustic Solutions

Erbim Elektronik has been working in the field of mosque sound systems since 1967, providing project planning, equipment supply, sales and installation services. The company combines its long-standing experience in mosque audio applications with contemporary sound technologies and develops systems for mosques and other places of worship.

In a mosque, achieving clear speech is not simply a matter of selecting powerful equipment. Domes, marble, stone, glass and other reflective surfaces can create reverberation and make speech less intelligible. For this reason, loudspeaker selection, positioning, amplification, microphones and acoustic conditions need to be considered together.

Erbim Elektronik’s published technical material also emphasizes the relationship between mosque architecture, loudspeaker positioning and sound clarity.

Mosque Audio System Design and Installation

A mosque sound system can include amplifiers, loudspeakers, microphones, mixers and other control equipment. The appropriate configuration depends on the size and architectural characteristics of the building and on the areas that need to be covered.

Erbim Elektronik provides support throughout different stages of the project, from equipment selection and system planning to installation and testing. Its website includes examples of completed mosque installations and sound tests carried out in different locations.

The objective is to achieve balanced sound coverage rather than simply increasing volume. Clear transmission of the imam’s speech, sermons, announcements and the muezzin’s recitation can require careful system planning and adjustment.

Mosque Loudspeakers and Audio Equipment

The company’s product range includes equipment used in mosque audio installations, such as:

• Mosque amplifiers and power equipment
• Mosque loudspeakers
• Horn and external sound systems
• Wired and wireless microphones
• Audio mixers
• 100V line sound systems
• LED lighting products

These components can be selected according to the requirements of an individual installation. Erbim Elektronik’s website presents a range of mosque-specific audio products and related equipment.

Acoustic Considerations for Mosques

Acoustics are particularly important in large or domed mosques. Reflections from hard architectural surfaces can increase reverberation and reduce speech intelligibility.

Erbim Elektronik publishes technical information concerning mosque acoustics and the positioning and direction of loudspeakers. Its material specifically discusses the challenges associated with reverberation in domed structures and the role of loudspeaker placement in improving intelligibility.

A properly designed installation therefore considers the architectural environment as well as the technical characteristics of the equipment.

Reference Projects in Turkey

Erbim Elektronik presents numerous mosque projects in its reference archive. Examples listed on the company’s website include Bursa Ulu Cami, Hırka-i Şerif Mosque, Fatih İskenderpaşa Mosque, Eski Cami in Edirne, Arap Mosque, Sokullu Mehmet Paşa Mosque and Yeşil Mosque in Eynesil.

The reference portfolio also includes university mosques and projects in different Turkish cities, illustrating applications in buildings with different architectural and acoustic characteristics.

International Mosque Sound System Projects

The company’s activities also extend beyond Turkey. Erbim Elektronik publishes international project references from countries including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, North Macedonia and Russia.

Examples listed on the company’s website include the Ebu Bekir Es-Sıddık Mosque in Salzburg, Wetzikon Mosque in Switzerland, the DITIB Mosque in Königswinter, the Ulu Mosque in Lahr and mosque projects in North Macedonia and Russia.

International installations require the same fundamental attention to building structure, acoustic conditions, equipment selection and sound distribution.

System Testing and Adjustment

Installation is followed by testing and adjustment to determine whether the system performs correctly throughout the mosque.

Erbim Elektronik’s published installation material describes checking microphones, gradually adjusting sound levels, evaluating distribution throughout the prayer area and checking for noise or interference.

This testing stage can identify areas where sound is too weak, excessive reverberation occurs or loudspeaker positioning needs to be reconsidered.

100V Line Sound Systems

100V line technology can be used in distributed sound installations where multiple loudspeakers need to cover different areas. Erbim Elektronik’s technical content discusses the use of 100V line systems in mosques and their suitability for distributed loudspeaker installations.

Depending on the project, different areas such as the main prayer hall, women’s section, mahfil, entrance areas, courtyard or other spaces can be considered during system planning.

Erbim Elektronik Mosque Audio Solutions

With experience dating back to 1967, Erbim Elektronik combines traditional project experience with contemporary audio equipment and installation practices. Its services cover mosque sound system planning, equipment supply, acoustic evaluation, installation and testing.

The company’s product and service portfolio includes mosque amplifiers, loudspeakers, horn systems, microphones, wireless microphones, mixers, power equipment and LED lighting.

For mosques requiring a new sound system, system renewal or additional equipment, the appropriate solution depends on the building’s dimensions, architecture, acoustic characteristics and intended use.

Erbim Elektronik continues to provide mosque sound system and acoustic services for projects in Turkey and abroad.
