Seven Powersoft Deva units installed at Canadian Parc Optimiste

Beside the St Lawrence river in Montreal, Canada, the Parc Optimiste boasts expansive grounds for recreational activities or outdoor sports. The park also supports the local community in Sainte-Catherine by providing a wide range of events.

The city’s head of events, Nicolas G. Bouchard, wanted to introduce a permanent solution towards the park’s audio needs that could provide audio and public support for any events that take place on the grounds. This was partly inspired by the positive response from local residents to the park’s Halloween 2020 theme, in which lighting and decorations were placed along the park’s walkway. Without an audio system, the city was unable to provide music to go with the theme, and the need for enhancing the park with audio equipment was highlighted.

Montreal based audio installer XYZ Technologies won the contract to implement an audio system that could meet the needs of the park and community. For this purpose, Bouchard chose Powersoft’s multimedia public address and entertainment system, Deva.

XYZ used seven Deva Audio units spaced throughout the park to maximise coverage for the grounds. Whilst Deva can be solar powered, XYZ used the power from the streetlamps which were placed around the park to power the Deva. “Digging up the ground around the park to run wires in conduit was just not possible”, says Bouchard. “It would have been too disruptive.” “It only took us a day to set up all the units”, adds Anaïs Leyral, sales representative at XYZ. “It was just then a question of setting up the Deva software, which was done in a matter of hours.”
