We fix church sound, livestream, and video systems, including ones we didn't install. Feedback, dead channels, wireless mics cutting out, a stream with no sound: call the shop and talk to a person who has been working on church systems for decades.
Call (434) 792-6717Most Saturday-night emergencies are one of a handful of things. A volunteer can check all of these in fifteen minutes.
Still dead? Call us at (434) 792-6717. Tell us what you tried; it helps us narrow it down fast.
Squeals when the pastor walks forward, a low buzz that never goes away. Usually speaker or mic placement, gain structure, or a grounding problem. All findable.
Interference, crowded frequencies, worn packs, or antennas in the wrong spot. We scan the room and set frequencies that work in your building.
A channel, a bank of inputs, or a whole stage box that stopped passing signal. We find out whether it's the board, the snake, or the cabling.
Speakers that crackle, cut out, or sound blown, and amps that shut down mid-service. We test each piece and tell you what's worth repairing.
A stream that's silent, sounds thin, or has lips and words that don't match. Usually the feed, the stream mix, or a delay setting.
Washed-out projectors, displays that won't take a signal, and networks that drop the stream halfway through the sermon.
Yes, we'll work on them. A lot of the church systems in Southside Virginia were installed by companies that are hours away, by a member who has since moved, or a piece at a time over twenty years. Nobody has a drawing of how it's wired. That's normal, and it's fixable.
The first step is an evaluation visit: we trace what's there, find the actual fault, and give you an honest recommendation, whether that's a repair, an upgrade, or leaving well enough alone. Our lifetime labor warranty covers work on gear purchased from us; if we repair equipment you already own, we'll explain up front what is and isn't covered.
Many church sound emergencies were small problems for months before they were emergencies. A scheduled checkup catches them on a Tuesday instead of a Sunday.
Mixer, wireless, and encoder updates applied and tested, with nothing changed the week before Easter.
Wireless packs checked, rechargeables tested, and the room scanned for new interference.
Every mic cable, stage box, and patch point checked; worn ones replaced before they crackle.
Each speaker and amp channel verified, so a dead driver doesn't hide behind the others.
Your mixer scenes and stream mix saved off the board, so a reset doesn't wipe out your setup.
A short session for your sound and stream team, including whoever is new since last time.
We offer annual care plans for church systems. Call (434) 792-6717 for current plan options and pricing.

Shop hours are Tuesday–Friday 10–6 and Saturday 10–5. Sounds Unlimited is family-run, founded in 1978 by Bucky Buckner, with 2,500+ installations and 90+ churches served. When you call, you talk to the people who would do the work. If something breaks outside shop hours, leave a message at (434) 792-6717 or send the form below and we'll get back to you as soon as the shop opens.
Sometimes a "the sound system is shot" call ends with a $50 cable, a fresh set of batteries, or a mixer scene that got overwritten. We'd rather tell you that than sell you a system.
It's time to talk about replacing when the same problems keep coming back after repairs, when the wireless system runs on frequencies that are now crowded or no longer permitted, when parts for the mixer aren't available anymore, or when you're adding a livestream and the old analog board can't make a separate stream mix. If you get there, our church sound system cost guide lays out what new systems run, and the assessment for an upgrade is free. You can also see our full church AV installation packages.
Call (434) 792-6717 and we'll tell you up front what a visit to your church costs before anyone gets in the truck. Often we can narrow the problem down over the phone first, which can save you the trip. If you're considering an upgrade rather than a repair, the on-site assessment is free.
The shop is open Saturday 10–5, and Saturday is when a lot of churches find out something is wrong. Call as early as you can and we'll tell you honestly what we can do before Sunday.
Yes. We regularly evaluate and work on systems installed by other companies or by volunteers. We'll assess what's there, find the problem, and recommend the best path: a repair, an upgrade, or, only if it's truly needed, a fresh build. Our lifetime labor warranty covers work on gear purchased from us.
Yes. We troubleshoot wireless systems for dropouts, interference, dead packs, and receivers on frequencies that are now crowded or no longer legal to use. Sometimes the fix is a frequency scan and fresh batteries; sometimes a system is old enough that replacing it costs less than chasing problems. We'll tell you which. We're an authorized Shure dealer.
A scheduled checkup of the whole system: firmware updates, wireless batteries and an RF scan, cable and connector checks, a speaker test, a backup of your mixer scenes, and a refresher for your volunteers. Call us for current plan options and pricing.
The fastest way to get help is to call. If it's after hours or you'd rather write it down, send the form and we'll call you back. Thinking about an upgrade instead? The on-site assessment is free.
(434) 792-6717We'll call you back as soon as the shop is open. If it's urgent and we're open, call (434) 792-6717.
