Dan
Mombourquette is owner and president of DM Services. He began
his involvement in audio systems with a company he formed over three
decades ago that provided music services for live
entertainment events and dances in the Kitchener area. This
company evolved into the DRAM Agency, which handled personal
management and bookings for area bands, and promoted concerts
featuring bands such as Roy Orbison and Chuck Berry.
Dan
took on the personal management of the rock band Major Hoople's Boarding House
during the early '70s until the group disbanded, and then teamed up
with Paul Reibling, and then Wayne Dietrich to form AOI Pro
Audio. For the next twenty five years, AOI provided sound
system design, manufacturing and installation in the Waterloo
region, including manufacturing Martin enclosures for the Heinl
Group which were distributed across Canada.
AOI
custom designed its own concert systems, including bass bins, mids and
horn cabinets. These were installed in such venues as Lulu's
Roadhouse, UW Fed Hall, and area arenas and high schools. AOI
also provided sound system rentals, and system design and installation,
being one of the first companies in Canada to use emerging computer
technologies such as JBL's CADP to predict room response, and then
verifying the results using MLSSA. Projects that Dan oversaw
include sound installs at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium (The Aud),
Lulu's Roadhouse, and Waterloo Pentecostal Assembly church.
As
well as all this, Dan has continued to promote and provide sound for
concerts featuring groups and organizations such as the Bara
MacNeils, Michael Burgess, the Elora Festival, the Fergus Scottish
Festival, and Mission Fest at the Toronto Convention Centre.
He
is an active member of the Toronto section of the Audio Engineering
Society, as a committee member, and as past chairman.
