The Albert Dumouchel Theatre—the main auditorium for Valspec, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the enrichment of the community through multidisciplinary cultural activities located in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Quebec, Canada—was in need of a serious audio upgrade more than two decades in the making. With the help of Quebec-based integrator Go Multimedia and AV installer LSM, a new d&b audiotechnik Y-Series loudspeaker system was recently installed to address many sonic challenges.
This main auditorium, located at Valleyfield College—built in 1896—turned into a professional venue in 1988 (Phase 1) and Phase 2 was completed in 2002. The theater was named for a renowned multi-talented arts professor in Quebec who was a printmaker, painter, photographer, and gifted musician. The 850-seat theater was ready for an upgrade after the previous non-d&b system—installed in 2002—had reached its age from an electronics perspective.
