Norm,
Unfortunately, clouds of EMP can engulf a speaker in the other end of the
church and carry on through the speaker wires, which can act like a huge
antenna…and hit the organ.
Even the earliest digital organs included MOV’s in the power supplies in the
1970’s to help eliminate the problem of transient power surge3s.
I know of only one imported organ that has little or no protection against
surges - and for a viriety of reasons will not name it - but all other
manufacturers of digital organs and digiutal pip organ controls do EVERYTHING
that they can to limit damage and most `power surges are like water off a
duck’s back.
But lightning trumps all, no matter how well designed.
