Since its opening in 1997, the 1,716-seat Enmax Hall at Francis Winspear Centre has served as the primary performance space for the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Along with the orchestra, the hall hosts a steady stream of other performers as well—including touring artists from blues, country, folk, jazz, rock, and other genres—in addition to a diverse roster of community events. To best accommodate the room’s wide range of sonic styles, dbi Systems Integration collaborated with L-Acoustics Certified Provider FM Systems to equip the Winspear Centre with Canada’s first permanently installed L Series loudspeaker system.
We caught up with Jerry Van Dyke, principal at dbi Systems Integration, to go behind the scenes and find out more about the installation, as well as a video tour of what's inside.
