Preaching with AQ’s

Nazzarenu Church is situated in the heart of Sliema — one of Malta’s most frequented towns. With a seating capacity of 500 people and another 250 standing, the church attracts people of all ages due to its celebrant’s particular approach during the Sunday Mass.
Fr. Charles Tabone, whose versatile and innovative way of preaching has attracted devotees from all over the island, realised that the number of people attending his mass kept increasing over the years. As pleasing as this was, it soon became obvious that the installed PA system could not cater for such a crowd.

Benedict Galea of Wave Music Centre, the Martin Audio distributor, has known Fr. Charles for a long time (the latter responsible for baptising his daughter). It was during this time that the cleric asked if Wave Music Centre could supply and install a new sound system at the church. The priest was familiar with Martin Audio’s pedigree but was concerned that a tight budget had to be strictly adhered to. Mr Galea reassured Fr. Charles and started working on installing a temporary system so that the parishioners and clerics could measure the results alongside systems provided by two other local companies.

The congregation was impressed at the clarity of the Martin Audio sound and the neatness and design of the system itself. As a result the priest placed the order for 14 x AQ5 architectural speakers, with a pair of two AQ112’s and four of the equally-stylish C115’s — all driven by Martin Audio amplification together with the dedicated AQX controller.
The result has transformed the church.
