Yamaha audio system installed at new bouldering gym in Copenhagen

Flipside Soundsystem was approached to design and install the audio system at a new bouldering gym in Copenhagen, Denmark. Happily for all concerned, choosing Yamaha loudspeakers and processing has helped to make for a very contended customer.

“Josh Glanville and Francesco Ragazzi of Beta Boulders asked us to work on the sound system for their new 10,000 ft2 bouldering gym,” says Flipside managing director James Cooper. Beta Boulders offers climbing and training areas, as well as a yoga studio, cafe and co-working spaces.

Flipside had to cover both large, reverberant areas in the climbing zones where higher SPLs would be needed, and more intimate zones for the yoga studio, cafe and changing rooms. They selected 36 Yamaha VS4 and VS6 full range, surface mount loudspeakers in a multi-zone system managed by an MTX3 matrix processor.

The system’s seven zones cover the main climbing area, competition bouldering area, training area, yoga studio, reception and bar, changing rooms and the office space, with control by four Yamaha DCP series wall panels.

“For the main climbing area, we had to work out an asymmetrical speaker pattern which allowed for the irregular shapes of the bouldering walls,” Cooper explains. “We chose VS4s for all areas except the competition area, where we went with the slightly larger VS6s to allow extra headroom for big events where microphones and louder music would be needed.”
