With Danley Loudspeakers, Subwoofers, Monitors and Amps, Great Bridge Baptist Church Gets Clarity, Coverage and Impact at a Fraction of the Footprint and Price
Great Bridge Baptist Church in Chesapeake, Virginia has an uncompromising commitment to reflecting God’s love and building loving relationships. Its contemporary-style services lift spirits with music provided by an orchestra, a choir, and a praise band. It’s a big production, but until recently, all of that effort only partially connected because the existing sound reinforcement system’s coverage of Great Bridge Baptist Church’s 1,500-plus seats was far from ideal. Regional AV integration firm RTW Media, based in Richmond – serving the Virginia/DC/Maryland areas – designed and installed a big-impact, small-footprint sound reinforcement system centered on Danley Sound Lab’s efficient point-source products. Using the patented technologies of acoustical maverick Tom Danley, the Danley boxes give Great Bridge Baptist Church remarkably even coverage from front to back and from side to side, in the balconies, under the balconies, and even on the stage and in the orchestra pit.
“The sound system at Great Bridge Baptist Church was old and tired,” said Zack Guida, operations manager at RTW Media. “The coverage was lacking, the timing was off, and it really didn’t do justice to the amazing services they are putting on. When we met with the church, they explained that not only did they want an impactful sound system, but they also wanted consoles and backbone technology to give them creative audio and video capabilities that would further allow them to connect with the congregation, both in person, and through digital media. The church’s vision included a video and camera system overhaul as well, so we had to be mindful of the overall budget.

This is a story of a large and thriving church caught in a rapidly-growing, world-wide crisis that no one predicted and no one was truly prepared to meet. Like most churches, Berean has shut its doors temporarily and “the church”, as a congregation of people, is unable to worship in Berean’s auditorium. Yet, this seemingly dark story is actually a story of hope because Berean hasn’t just adapted to the crisis. They’ve put their talented team to work, using modern technology in creative ways to bring “a church dispersed,” as Senior Pastor Bryan Clark described it, back together for streaming worship that feels live while becoming the very personal experience that worship was meant to be. Berean has become a “church in your pocket.”
