Canada

An example of a piece of electronic musical equipment manufactured by the Canadian company Yorkville Sound. Originally founded as the repair shop of Long and McQuade (est. 1958, Toronto), Yorkville Sound has expanded from humble beginnings in 1963 to become an internationally recognized developer and fabricator of quality public address (PA) systems, amplifiers and mixer boards. The first innovation was a portable PA system, in stark contrast to other commercial systems which could be adapted for portability; the Long and McQuade was designed for portability. The second innovation was named the Bass Master (also known as Dyna-bass). Unlike other amplifiers on the commercial market, the Bass Master was equipped with a "sacrificial" power transformer that when damaged would cost less and require less time to repair the unit.5 In 1965, Yorkville Sound expanded sales into the growing U.S, market and in 1972 it expanded into the European market. By 1972, Yorkville Sound was distributing Canadian technology internationally and was awarded a P.I.A.T. loan (Programme for the Advancement of Innovative Technology) from the federal government to continue research and development of solid state amplifiers for the international market.
