Background

At Calvary Chapel Myrtle Beach in South Carolina, creating a clear and immersive worship experience has always been a priority. With over 35 years of experience in professional lighting and sound, Ron Dozler from Calvary Chapel understood the value of using quality audio equipment tailored to a space’s unique needs. When the sanctuary presented a specific challenge—low ceilings that hindered the performance of traditional point source speakers—it became clear that the existing setup was no longer meeting expectations. While exploring potential solutions, the focus was on upgrading the existing church sound system with compact yet powerful commercial ceiling speakers that could improve the overall performance.

Working with Pure Resonance Audio

Ron chose Pure Resonance Audio for their drop ceiling tile speaker options that met his specific size and performance requirements. The Pure Resonance Audio SD5 SuperDispersion® ceiling speaker array stood out as the ideal fit for the space. Designed for drop ceilings, these church speakers offer wide, even coverage and clean sound in a low-profile format. This was a crucial factor in addressing the limitations presented by the sanctuary's low ceiling height.

Ron personally handled the installation and integrated the SD5 ceiling speaker array into both the sanctuary and the foyer. With no reservations about the product, he was pleased with how easily the speakers fit into the existing ceiling tiles and how well they performed from the start. Compared to previous point source models, the drop ceiling tile speaker provided more consistent audio across the room while maintaining a lower overall volume.

Reflection

Since implementing the new commercial ceiling speakers into their church sound system, Calvary Chapel Myrtle Beach has seen a noticeable improvement in audio performance. Ron praised the SD5 ceiling speaker array for delivering great sound relative to their footprint. The installation has resulted in clearer communication during services and a more comfortable listening experience for the congregation.

For churches dealing with low ceilings or other acoustic challenges, the Pure Resonance Audio SD5 drop ceiling tile speakers provide an innovative, effective upgrade. These church speakers deliver professional-grade sound quality while meeting the technical demands of worship spaces, all without sacrificing aesthetics or requiring extensive modifications.
