Purpose

The New Brunswick District Scolaire Francophone Nord-Est decide to renovate the Arthur Losier Theatre which was an important community gathering space. They knew that the audio needed improvement and voice clarity was in dire need of enhancement. They preferred a one brand solution that offered quality and durability while meeting the board budget allocated for this project. 

Challenge

During the design phase TOA’s tech department faced some challenges with the theater’s Ceiling design and shape of the overall room. The length of the theatre was important to take into consideration to ensure the sound projecting form the front would reach the back with a strong decibel range while maintaining intelligibility. 

Solution

The final proposal was accepted by the school district and was kept within budget. The design included TOA’s pro audio speaker system the HX-7B compact arrays that delivered the full coverage sound to all areas of the theatre. The speakers were powered by DA-500 power amplifier and a digital speaker processor was added to tweak the sound digitally resulting in richer and more vibrant audio. 

Feedback

The first event was received with rave reviews and the community and school district was ecstatic with the new sound system.
