The audio systems at the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah constitute an integrated technological network that goes beyond sound transmission to provide a clear, stable acoustic environment, helping worshippers, Umrah performers, and visitors observe their rituals in an atmosphere of reverence and tranquillity.
The systems ensure that the call to prayer, prayers, sermons, and lessons reach various locations within the Two Holy Mosques and their facilities.
The audio system at the Grand Mosque is one of the largest of its kind, covering approximately 650,000 square meters through more than 8,000 speakers distributed across expansions, courtyards, passageways, and surrounding areas.
Around 120 engineers and technicians work around the clock to operate the system, which includes around 100 microphones to transmit and record the voices of imams, muezzins, preachers, and instructors.
At the Prophet’s Mosque, the audio system relies on three main components: the primary system, the backup system, and the emergency system.
These components enhance the system’s reliability and ensure the continuous transmission of the imam’s and muezzin’s voices, sermons, and religious lessons.
The audio systems at the Two Holy Mosques are integrated with radio and television broadcasting networks to transmit prayers and sermons to Muslims around the world. Control rooms, along with engineering and technical teams, play a pivotal role in monitoring performance and ensuring sound quality.
