I have been enjoying the increased exposure of Danley through their videos over the past year, and it's really cool to see the work that went in to it! Excellent job, sir
Oh it always sounds good for sure. They definitely seem to crush it in venues that present a unique challenge or where other solutions haven’t been able to get the job done right!
I've played on a lot of different types of loudspeakers, and worked with some of the best studio monitors for smaller spaces. Danley loudspeakers (synergy horns) are as clean as high-end studio monitors, and at much higher SPL capabilities and throw distances... I'm of the notion that the signal feeding into the amps and EQ should be as clinically flat as possible without coloration, and it's the sound engineer's duty to take that signal and do what they need to do to it per the venue and crowds needs. A lot of other loudspeaker manufacturers focus on how to design their boxes to add coloration and throw to their perceived 'correct areas' of the spectrum for their intended audiences. So you might hear someone say "XXXX brand is better than Danley for dubstep" or something like that - don't be fooled by these statements - a good sound engineer will take Danleys and wipe the floor with other systems.
I have Bill Fitzmaurice Omnitop 12, but the compression horns are quite high in 2-3khz output and need padding to sound their best. A flatter out the box speaker is easier to work with, although sensitivity gains in some areas are useful in terms of headroom if they are not due to resonant peaks. Something like a Bose 802 which needs to be boosted aggressively for bass and treble, and I'm thinking - use different drivers instead of trying to force them to do what they aren't designed to do. Very long throw boxes will need extra tweeter output to compensate for air absorption. It's mainly dispersion patterns that are important. There are plenty of speakers that are flat pointed at you, but put out tons of junk sound off axis. They will sound amazing until you get into an echoey room, then will sound like a PE teacher's boom box in a gym. My Bill Fitzmaurice speakers aren't amazing in this regard - though a stack of them would add directivity.
Absolutely amazing video, and speaker manufacturer.
Thanks!
Money video brother! Very thankful for you and your talents!
Thankful for YOU and for trusting me with telling your story!
Best loudspeakers in the world. Great video! 🤜🏻⚡🤛🏻
Thank you for being such a great partner on these projects!
Sick Drone op! ;) so Coll seeing all of these videos thrown together!
Yes siirrrrr! Thanks for being awesome and being a part of a few of these!

Thanks for that feedback! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the new content!
Awesome video!
Thank you my friend!
Well AJ, getting to hear so many Danley systems, would you say they are among the best?
