The Project
St Martin’s Church in Maidstone is a lively and growing parish, offering a blend of traditional liturgy and contemporary worship. With increasing demand for musical performances, spoken word clarity, and flexible use of the space, the church recognised the need for a comprehensive upgrade to its ageing audio infrastructure.
