20 Genelec Smart IP loudspeakers are used to motivate gym members at the XO Centre in Kerava, Finland.

Integrator Praecom took charge for the design of the XO Centre’s entire AV platform, with the system needing the strength and reach to hit different zones including the padel courts, gym, spa, and individual class spaces, which required different audio content at different playback levels.

Praecom specified five Genelec 4420 Smart IP loudspeakers, 13 4430 models and two 4435 in-ceiling loudspeakers to power different zones across the site.

Three of the 4430 loudspeakers bring uniform coverage and reduce echoing in the large padel court rooms, tackling reverberation issues head on.

Three 4420 loudspeakers were specified for the centre’s restaurant and café, all connected to a Crestron C2NI keypad that provides control for the space’s AV elements and for the padel courts.

Additional 4430 Smart IP models are distributed across the fitness and conference rooms, as well as in the gym and the Skill XO room.

In the centre’s spa, Praecom specified two Genelec in-ceiling 4435 models, integrated discreetly without compromising on the space’s sound quality. A single 4420 loudspeaker was specified for both the male and female changing rooms.
