USA - With a 3,000 seat main sanctuary, Calvary Chapel of Melbourne on Florida's east coast has upgraded to Turbosound's Flex Array as the existing sound system was transferred to a new smaller satellite campus in nearby Viera.

"Ever since we re-hung our previous system in Melbourne to try and provide line array coverage to the balcony level two years ago, we knew we needed an upgrade," states Greg Branch, senior audio engineer for the contemporary church. "So, after transferring the existing system to the new campus, we had the perfect opportunity to explore new options for the main sanctuary."

Calvary Chapel brought in Craig Beyrooti, president of Atlantic Pro Audio of Altamonte Springs, to consult on the design and integration. After considerable research, including a number of demos and shootouts, Branch and Beyrooti decided on the Turbosound Flex array. "The decision was driven by a number of factors," notes Greg Branch of Calvary. "I had always been impressed with the Turbosound systems. We looked seriously at several other brands, but once we brought an array into the church and listened to it next to our system, it was an easy decision. Between Craig, my assistant Seth Wren and myself, there was total agreement on going with Turbosound."
