Montreal nightclub Système has reopened after a four-month refurbishment, unveiling a redesigned space with upgraded acoustics and a new custom sound system.
Montreal nightclub Système has reopened its doors following a four-month renovation, introducing a redesigned space focused on sound quality and dancefloor experience.
The 200-capacity venue, located in the city’s Rosemont borough, underwent a full overhaul that included a new wooden dance floor with double the previous surface area, along with extensive acoustic treatment aimed at improving clarity and eliminating unwanted frequencies.
Co-owner Sebastian Cowan emphasized the importance of the redesign, noting that significant investment went into shaping the room and installing specialized materials typically found in studio environments. The result, he says, is a space that delivers a highly refined listening experience.
At the core of the upgrade is a custom-built sound system developed by Waves and Frequencies Audio, powered by Linea Research and Powersoft amplifiers. The setup features a four-point horn arrangement with integrated subwoofers built into the architecture, designed to provide balanced and immersive sound across the room.
The reopening is marked with a four-day event series, featuring artists such as Jacques Greene, Guthrie, Kris Guilty and Martyn Bootyspoon.
With its renewed focus on sound and design, Système positions itself as a standout small-capacity venue within the global underground club scene.
