XYZ installs Coda Audio system at refurbished Café Concert theatre in Montréal

Located in the heart of the city within the Montréal Marriot Château Champlain, Café Concert (Caf’ Conc’), is a historic 200/300 capacity theatre space, which evokes the charm of the famous speakeasies of the Roaring Twenties. Once a cabaret, the venue was recently transformed into a space for immersive audio-visual experiences.

With its maintained interior, the cozy atmosphere of the theatre now boasts AV provision for performing arts and hospitality. The space can be deployed in different configurations to meet the needs of a variety of uses, from concerts to receptions, and banquets to educational presentations.

Event supplier Creativ Nation was engaged as the AV supplier for the project and in turn reached out to the Montréal team of international integrator XYZ Technologies to design, supply, and install AV, sound, and lighting systems.

XYZ chose a Coda Audio system for Caf’ Conc’, based on the German manufacturer’s APS (arrayable point source) loudspeakers. XYZ’s Mario St-Onge selected units from across the Coda Audio range and determined their positioning to ensure optimal coverage of the space. All Coda Audio loudspeakers share the same sonic signature, guaranteeing consistence and uniform coverage for every seat in the venue.

The XYZ team installed the system, which comprises (per side) three Coda Audio APS flown with three N-Sub (15” multi-purpose subwoofer). Two Hops8 (8’’ high output point source) and a single G18-Sub (18’’) are used as front fills. Two N-Aps, and four Hops5 units are used as delays for the upper and lower rear balconies, respectively, with a further six Hops5 deployed for the side balconies.

The system is powered by two Linus14 and three Linus6.4 DSP amplifiers. Freelance sound engineer Pierre Tougas calibrated the system, XYZ’s first Coda Audio installation in Canada.
