8,000 Speakers Broadcast Call to Prayer at Grand Mosque

Makkah, – The Grand Holy Mosque broadcasts the calls to prayer and sermons thanks to the efforts of more than 120 engineers and technicians; the sound is carried over 8,000 speakers situated at the Grand Holy Mosque, in its squares and new expansions, and on the surrounding roads.

The voices of muezzins and imams at the Grand Holy Mosque are transmitted through sophisticated sensors whose balance is maintained daily to ensure the best sound quality.

Several maintenance engineers work round the clock, and spare microphones are handy and work automatically in case primary microphones malfunction.
