USA - Fresno, California-based Michael Garrison Associates (MGA), a design-build systems contracting firm that has served the church market for nearly 30 years, installed its first L-Acoustics system at the new 110,000-square-foot Calvary Church (formerly Calvary Temple) in Irving, Texas.

Under the direction of senior systems designer Brian Roggow, twin arrays, each comprised of ten L- Acoustics dV-Dosc cabinets plus three dV-SUBs, were flown above the left and right sides of the stage in the 1,500-seat main sanctuary. For low-frequency reinforcement, four SB218 subwoofers are positioned up in the room's centre cavity while two SB118s are located under the stage. Four additional coaxial MTD108a systems are further called upon to deliver front-fill, and all loudspeaker systems are powered by L- Acoustics' own LA Series amplifiers.

"Our initial system design for Calvary Temple featured a more traditional trapezoidal type of enclosure that would have been concealed behind the soffit," says Roggow. "However, during the building construction phase, several people from the church visited Angelus Temple in L.A, which has a full dV-Dosc rig, and they decided that they wanted a similarly aggressive concert-style system to better accommodate their contemporary worship band."
