Recently opened in Oxford, leisure venue Gallery Bouldering was determined its audio system would not be a mountain to climb and so turned to Optimal Audio\u2019s commercial audio ecosystem to meet its various needs from morning into night.<\/p>\n

Gallery Bouldering offers a peak experience for its customers, including a 100m expanse of bouldering wall and a dedicated gym space. There\u2019s also a caf\u00e9 which chalks the venue as a prime event space. Favouring background music during the day, of differing intensities by zone, there was a requirement for the audio to support the big screen action during major sporting events.<\/p>\n

Optimal Audio\u2019s UK distributor, Audio Technica, designed and installed a system to be in tune with the space, whatever the day held. On some days, the four zones of Gallery Bouldering: the wall, the gym, the caf\u00e9 and the reception area would all function as distinct areas with their own vibe and background music to suit, during the flow of the day. At other times, the system supports a whole venue event with all areas working together.<\/p>\n

Controlling the full venue system is an Optimal Audio Zone 8 audio controller with DSP and Optimal Audio\u2019s simple and intuitive cross-platform WebApp. From here the venue staff access or set up presets and routines or make one-off changes across any or all of the zones. By automating the audio with automatic daily routines and standard presets, the staff in the busy venue have one less thing to think about.<\/p>\n

Through the activity zones of the bouldering wall and the gym, Optimal Audio Up 6 two-way ceiling speakers provide warm and high-quality audio without taking any of the valuable wall space. In these zones a total of four Optimal Audio 5-inch, two-way, Cuboid 5 full-range loudspeakers are wall-mounted to provide support for the eighteen units from the Up range.<\/p>\n

Providing the extra energy for big sporting events, two Optimal Audio Cuboid 8 two-way, full-range 8-inch loudspeakers are positioned either side of the \u2013 usually tucked away \u2013 projection screen. The full system is powered by a total of three amplifiers two of which are the 4 x 250W SmartAmp30 and one 4 x 125W SmartAmp20, both featuring DSP to add extra speed and simplicity to the installation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gallery owner, Jamie Wakeham, is pleased with the final installation. He said, \u201cI am delighted with the sound quality of the Optimal Audio system. I\u2019m hard to impress and this is genuinely\u00a0good.\u00a0 The 100V line speakers have good sparkle and\u00a0clarity, and the Cuboid 8s add the right amount of heft without ever getting in the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was straightforward to hide all the speakers too \u2013 they fit neatly at the top of the climbing\u00a0wall structure, and the larger speakers are tucked behind\u00a0it.\u00a0 I\u2019m very happy with the overall\u00a0appearance as well as audio quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ability to zone the audio in Gallery Bouldering was useful as the venue is used in a different way by each customer, particularly during the day. For those climbing the bouldering wall and the exercising in the gym, the tempo of audio output is energetic, pushing customers to reach their goals. In the caf\u00e9 however, the pace is more relaxed to create a pleasant dwell space more suited to the needs of the customer in that space.<\/p>\n
