Do you have a showroom? Can I come and see your lecterns and tables?
Sorry! We only show our lecterns at exhibitions. We do however, have a
money back guarantee; 'love it or send it back'. No one has sent one back
yet, but if you were to order, receive and for some reason not like your
new lectern, we will refund all of your money - we would also pay for
getting it back to us. Our customers say the lecterns always look better
'in person' than in the photographs.
Are
the lecterns guaranteed?
Yes
for 12 months. Obviously this is for normal use and excludes dropping/
knocking it over/ abuse.
Are
the lecterns stable?
The arc is extremely stable - you need to push it 15-20 degrees
before it will start to fall (the most stringent international standard
for lighting is 15 deg.) We have put a lot of effort into getting the
centre of gravity low and in the correct place.You can place a laptop
on the far corner, place a heavy book on top of that (a big bible) and
it will not topple. On the other hand, it has a tension bar running through
the stem which gives it some flexibility. This flexibility is essential
if the top is given a shock. We have made a lot of arcs. In their feedback,
no user has mentioned that they find it unstable in use.
How
high is the lectern to the bottom of the ledge?
The height to the ledge is 101cm/ 39.8". This suits 95% of the population.
In fact in all the lecterns we have made we have never needed to change
this height.
Do
the lecterns and tables come made up or do I need to assemble them?
We transport the arc and arc table flat in special boxes. This saves money
on freight and prevents them from being damaged during transit.
Are
they easy to assemble?
Very. Instructions are included. We have had a Korean customer say it
took 5 minutes to assemble even without being able to read the English
part of the instructions (it includes pictures) . We have never heard
of a church having trouble assembling the arc lectern.
We
are worried about reflection- what do you suggest?
If you plan to regularly film your church meetings and services, we recommend
anti reflective film. The anti reflective film is mostly needed if there
is a projector screen behind the preacher. In this case, lights from above
the stage reflect off the lectern top and onto the projector screen. You
can test for this by turning on your stage lights and holding an old style
(shiny) CD case where the lectern top would be. If you get unsightly reflections,
you need the film.You can order this already applied at the time of lectern
purchase (see 'arc range' page for price). However if you purchase your
lectern and afterwards decide you need anti reflective film, your church
can get it applied by a local signwriter. We can give you the specification
for the film (it is a 3M product). Well known churches like Hillsong Church,
Sydney have the film on all four of their arc lecterns and use them on
international television. It looks great on TV/camera (you can hardly
tell). To see a picture of the arc lectern with reflective film click

Did
you make the lectern at Hillsong Church?
Hillsong Church, Sydney have four of our arc lecterns which they use in
a range of meetings, including weekend services and conferences. You may
have also seen one of our lecterns being used by Phil Baker from Riverview
Church (WA, Australia). He is often seen on the God channel in the UK.
Are
there any other lecterns available?
Yes. More lecterns are available from:
www.procson.com.au
Do
you have a lectern with adjustable height?
You
have probably heard of ergonomics- the study of human interraction with
furniture and objects. Our lecterns are designed using anthropometric
ergonomic data (the same ergonomic data the designers at Boeing use to
design airplane interiors). We found that by using a height of approximately
101cm (40 '') to the bottom of the lip and an angle of approximately 20
degrees for the top, that a lectern will suit 96% of adult male and females.
If you are outside of this range or a wheelchair user, you may consider
the telescope lectern on this website.
Why
is only the arc offered by the UK agent (Mike Groves)?
The arc is the most popular lectern that we make. It is used throughout
the world in major churches. In order to ensure there were no supply issues,
we wanted to offer just one lectern to begin with. We plan to offer the
Optic lectern direct from the UK in the near future. Obviously in the meantime
you can order the optic and other lecterns from our range by going to:
www.procson.com.au.
The lead times will be longer however.
