The Obamas

Various across Canada

When the former President or First Lady of the United States speaks, people listen. Every seat in the arena must have precise, crystal clear sound with no exceptions. FM Systems rose to the challenge for both the Obamas, deploying sound systems across the country that were designed by our senior engineers to be capable of meeting such high sonic demands.

Badlands Amphitheatre, Drumheller AB

"We have worked with Marlin, Tyson and Drew from FM Systems on many events all over Alberta. Indoors and outdoors, from festivals, to corporates, to standalone concerts, the team at FM Systems has always been professional, organized, competitive in their pricing, budget conscious and solution based when problems arise. I would not hesitate to recommend them or to use them for any of the many services they offer."

Ponoka Stampede

Not our first rodeo! All over Western Canada, cowboys and cowgirls have heard their names called over an FM Systems PA. After a hard days ride, entertainment from Big and Rich to LeAnne Rimes has entertained all in attendance at the Ponoka Stampede year after year!

Edmonton Symphony Orchestra

FM Systems has spent decades on the cutting edge of live audio, continuously pushing the boundaries of what is possible. When the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra wanted to place their entire audience on the conductor’s stand, we knew that a fully immersive audio experience was called for. Partnering with the applications engineers from L-Acoustics, FM Systems broughtthe first L-ISA immersive audio system with a live symphony orchestra to Canada! The result was a reinforced sound that so closely represented the acoustics of the orchestra, that it transformed Hawrelak Park into amagnificent concert hall.

Stampede Roundup Musicfest/Oxford Stomp

Shaw Millennium Park, Calgary, AB

At the intersection of corporate audio and music festivals is where FM Systems truly shines. With an extra emphasis on precise audio coverage of VIP areas coupled with sound mitigation for the surrounding communities, turning Shaw Millennium Park into one of the largest concert venues of the summer was quick work. Supporting artists such as Bryan Adams, Train , Duran Duran, and countless others, FM Systems was there every step of the way.

CHAOS Rockfest

Kinsmen Park, Edmonton, AB

In 2019 the largest hard rock and metal festival ever to hit Alberta came to Edmonton and they knew there was only one phone call to make for Audio and Backline services. FM Systems provided a thunderous main stage sound system, as well as all artist Backline. The equipment list included the latest technology from L-Acoustics, Avid and Shure. Backed up by a top-notch systems and stage crew, the inaugural event was a huge success!
