Martin High-Performance Ceiling Speakers
Martin Audio has introduced a range of high-performance ceiling speakers designed to comply with UL2043, UL1480, BS5839 pt8 and IEC60849/EN60849. All of these provide exceptionally high-quality audio for the application and have perforated steel grilles, UL94 VO ABS baffles, thermal fuses, and steel back cans. Thermal fuses are included to prevent the possibility of a speaker exposed to fire creating a short circuit that could damage the amplifier. With this other alarm, speakers on the same circuit will still work. The new range features rising clamp connectors that accept up to 2.5sq mm conductors and are fireproofed by a steel cover plate with a clamped cable entry. All models are 2-way designs using soft dome tweeters for the widest dispersion and excellent off-axis performance. The exceptionally wide dispersion of 4” and 6.5” models makes them particularly suitable for low ceiling areas.

Sanford Werfel (I have a hard-copy photograph for this)
Sanford Werfel has been helping churches raise funds for years. His inspirational donor recognition sculptures can be found all across the United States. Each hand-sculpted piece uses no factory molds or cookie-cutter patterns. It is really a combination of several processes, beginning with the church’s story. Sanford Werfel designs preliminary sketches after talking to church leaders about their needs and purpose. Whether it be a logo, a theme from scripture, portraits of a founder or major donor, original building, or just about anything else, the sculpture will be custom-designed and uniquely yours. The result is a signed work of art that inspires and reflects the church mission and vision. The sculpture provides members with the opportunity of having their names inscribed permanently in the church.
