Singapore - In 1966, a Catholic church named St. Stephen's was founded in Singapore's East District primarily for the large English-speaking community - over a thousand parishioners - who lived along Singapore's East coast. Today, most of the Masses in St. Stephen's Church are still held in English, while the early morning Sunday Mass is said in Mandarin.

Local audio firm Sound Principles selected HK Audio ConTour Series loudspeakers for the sound installation. They installed twelve CT 108 full-range cabinets at strategic locations in St. Stephen's Church.

Daniel Ng of HK Audio distributor Peak Fusion in Singapore explains: "For optimal speech intelligibility we recommended the HK Audio CT 108 to our client. The CT 108 is a perfect combination of compact size and full sound. With its combination of 8" cone woofer and 1" high-frequency driver in a 90°-x-60° constant directivity horn, the CT 108 is an impressive unit, especially when it comes to speech in difficult acoustic environments like this one."

The light weight and compact dimensions of the 12 CT 108 cabinets made them easy to install at periodic intervals on the side walls of St. Stephen's Church without distracting from the sanctuary's aesthetic appearance.
