Université Concordia, Montreal, QC
Concordia University's fitness center is divided into several rooms/areas. The main area in the facility required a comfortable setting with background music that creates an environment conducive to exercising. The facility had extremely high ceilings and was constructed of concrete blocks, and glass on all walls. This construction created high reverberation that had to be overcome. The ventilation in this room was suspended from the ceiling creating installation challenges because of the need to work around a lot of structural obstacles. Once the installation was complete, Multicomtech had to test the system several times to adjust the system to the room noise. Multicomtech Inc. decided on TOA’s ceiling speakers powered with TOA’s 9000 Series digital matrix mixer/amplifier. The F-122 ceiling speakers were chosen to combat the echo and the high ceilings because of the excellent dispersion that the speaker offers. Each speaker was mounted into a back can and flush mounted into the ceiling of the facility. The 9000 Series digital matrix mixer/amplifier is set up to allow only 4 control buttons, including volume, and allows an I-pod, tuner, or CD player to be plugged in. The rest of the system has been locked for security allowing only the office staff access to the amplifier to adjust the volume. The Yoga and dance studios have been set up with the same equipment to allow an enjoyable and relaxing workout.
