 VUE e-Class Speakers Become Part of Historic Luxury Yacht in Istanbul

All aboard the Halas 71 luxury coastal cruiser that has entertained VIP guests including members of the British Royal Family and former US Presidents. The vessel’s history dates back to the final years of the Ottoman Empire and the founding of the Turkish Republic. She was seized by the British and finally returned to Turkish waters at the end of WWI but utilized by the British as Allied Headquarters. The British returned control back to Turkey in 1923 where it was renamed Halas, which means deliverance. It was a passenger ferry for decades until it was renovated in the 80s as a luxury cruiser with cabins and again remodeled in 2008 with a total of 12 guest cabins.

VUE al-4 install provides much needed clarity to congregation

Co-pastor Justin Hoeppner had been planning an audio system upgrade for New Community Church in Vista CA., for almost 2 years. The church seats about 600 with the aid of a huge balcony that extends out over half of the lower level. This always presented an audio challenge. With a weekly attendance of 400, New Community takes their audio presentation seriously. Co-paster Justin Hoeppner described the old audio system “Our old system was tired, rundown and cranky. It had virtually no high frequency response which gave us a muddy mid-range”. New Community was founded in 1926 and their current building is at least 25 years old. They decided it was time for an upgrade.
