As it heads into its third decade, Calvary Chapel Melbourne (CCM) has grown from a handful of believers assembled in a hotel conference room to a mega-church that serves over 10,000 members with three campuses spread across east-central Florida. In addition to its main campus in West Melbourne, CCM operates an 1,100-seat location in Sebastian River High School’s auditorium and a 1,099-seat, purpose-built sanctuary in Viera, Florida. Beginning with the commons area at its main campus, CCM has been turning to natural-sounding, well-controlled Danley Sound Labs loudspeakers and subwoofers and, in many cases, powerful Danley amplifiers and DSP to convey the full high-energy dynamics of its services.

“I’ve been impressed with Danley’s philosophy and products for some time now,” said CCM Associate Audio Engineer David Hoover. “I got into pro audio via the hi-fi world of home stereos and car audio systems, and for so long I wondered why no one could deliver that kind of quality in a large-scale commercial sound system. Then Danley came along and totally changed the playing field. Danley’s unique designs give my mixes depth, dynamics, and effortless output that conventional designs, including line arrays, can’t touch. CCM Senior Audio Engineer Caleb Luper has described our new Danley systems as having a wall removed between the source instrument and the listeners. Music and spoken word sound real and full of life, and Danley’s even-response across the coverage pattern makes every seat include an incredible experience.”
