Not shown are the 2-meter clock with a seven-bell Carillon at the Multi-Purpose Hall in front of the Capitol building in Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro and the 1.2 meter clock at the top of the Baguio City Hall.  A 2-meter clock will soon rise on Times Square, also in Subic.
CARILLONS and BELLS from JVG ELECTRONICS
A Carillon is generally understood to be a series of bells of different sizes which are tuned to varying pitches, usually hung atop a church, on a public building or tower. The bells are played by means of a keyboard and a pedal clavier. The keys are called batons and are attached by cables to the bells, played by a carilloneur or bellmaster.  More accurately, a series of 2 to 8 bells is called a Peal and a series of 9 to 22 bells is called a Chime.  A real Carillon begins from 23 bells or more.
The Carillon at Aix Noulette, France, produced by Bodet	A Carillon combined with a Tower Clock
Modern technology has produced the automatically operated Carillon, making it possible to play the bells by means of an electric hammer attached to each bell, striking according to the notes and timing of the melody. The Control Unit enables the bells to play without a carilloneur and can be programmed to play specific melodies at specified times. Specialized Bell ringing functions such as the Angelus and call-to-worship can also be programmed into the Control Unit.   More recently, the Electronic Carillon, which does not need any real bells at all but plays electronically reproduced music faithfully recorded from real cast bells, has brought down the cost of Carillon ownership for the community. Because it uses an amplifier and an array of loudspeakers, the Electronic Carillon also outperforms the traditional Carillon in volume of sound, as the sound from a traditional Carillon is limited by the resonance emanating from the real bells. Various models of Electronic Carillons carry a built-in repertoire of hundreds of traditional and religious melodies and ringing functions.   Peals, Chimes and all types of Carillons are offered in the Philippines by JVG Electronics, supported by manufacturers in Italy, France, and the United States. High quality Church Bells, as well as finely tuned Carillon Bells, all from Europe, are also available from JVG. Old but priceless church bells may also be rescued from non-use by the bell-welding facilities of JVG's European principals.
	Church Bells cast by Ecat of Italy can be ordered with inscriptions and images.
To go with Electronic Carillons, JVG also optionally offers non-ringing facsimile bells, known as Bell Shells, from the United States. Bell Shells are spun from aluminum and finished in durable industrial exterior bronze patina.  They are much lighter in weight than real bells and come in four different sizes.
The Chime Master Electronic Carillon, Millennium series, contains a repertoire of hundreds of melodies. The Millennium 2001 comes with 49-note Keyboard for live performance when desired.	A Bell Shell from Chime Master, resembling a real cast bell, at a much more affordable cost.

Good looks, great sound! SOUNDSPHERE reflectorized, omnidirectional loudspeakers for special purposes
TWO SOUNDSPHERE 2212-1 speakers, dark gray in color, were installed at the Basilica of Notre Dame In Montreal, Canada, immediately before the visit of Pope John Paul II in 1985. Despite the presence of 5000 children, the Pope’s security personnel who had been travelling with him throughout said that that was the first time they heard and understood everything the Pope was saying. The pastor, Monsignor Lecavalier happily refers to the Soundspheres as “my religious satellites.
SOUNDSPHERE
OMNI-DIRECTIONAL LOUDSPEAKERS
With the patented sphere and reflector design of Soundsphere speakers, sound radiates in an omnidirectional pattern.
Soundsphere was conceived as a device that combined the acoustical qualities of a spherical cabinet and a dish that reflected the sound waves produced by a cone speaker the way a radar dish reflects radar waves. The speakers were used originally for outdoor and live musical performances. They were used in the 1980 Winter Olympics, and since then they have grown to prominence in the professional and commercial sound industry.
Good looks and great sound
Although they may be relatively higher priced, Soundspheres are nevertheless cost-effective by reason of their wider coverage, requiring less units to spread out and less amplifier power to drive them. For instance, a single speaker can effectively serve a medium-sized church. Two speakers can cover an entire ice rink with powerful music for figure skating and clear voice. A large factory can be covered by a number of the smaller Soundspheres, 500 square meters per speaker. A cluster of several of the larger models can fill an arena seating over 10,000 people with dramatic sound. An extremely reverberant space can be covered with clarity by a distributed system with suspended speakers close to the listeners’ ears. Properly designed Soundsphere systems with the right electronics and correct tuning have given many sound system provides very proud moments and helped them more than satisfy a growing number of grateful customers. The unique Soundsphere loudspeaker has found acceptance in the industry because it has solved sound problems simply and inexpensively where there used to be few and prohibitively expensive solutions.  Today, Soundspheres are in more than 50 countries on 6 continents around the world.
	HIGH CEILINGED structures, such as churches, gymnasiums, airport terminals and warehouses are best served by Soundspheres.
SOUNDSPHERES are also ideal for Ice Rinks, sports arenas, airports, exhibit halls, bus terminals, wholsale and retail stores
PORTABLE lightweight, weatherproof construction, broad full frequency coverage allows placement flexibility without ear-piercing hot spots.
OUTDOOR ELECTRONIC DISPLAY BOARDS
A typical Outdoor Video Display System consists of the following major components: ·         an outdoor electronic full-color LED Display Board; ·         a Control Computer system with video interface and control box; ·         an Editing Computer system with appropriate peripherals and software.   The LED Display Board is composed of an appropriate number of LED (light emitting diode) display modules mounted next to one another to form one single screen.   A typical display module offers 16,777,216 colors and measures 41.6 x 41.6 centimeters. To achieve the resolution necessary for a full-motion video image, a minimum of 96 modules is necessary. With less than this, the system would still be capable of delivering high quality animation and graphics and acceptable video. The Control Computer is to be installed as close as possible to the Display Board (a distance of up to 50 meters or more would be acceptable) and does not have to be regularly accessible, as it primarily serves to receive and store programs and files through the Editing Computer. The Editing Computer is the component which receives instructions directly from the human operator of the system. It can be located wherever convenient and does not have to be near the Display Board nor the Control Computer.
Serving Church Liturgy
Most churches in the Philippines are still using organs and keyboards which are not designed for liturgical use. Now, JVG offers authentic classical church organs from Italy.
