Gym / fitness floor — high-energy music, 30 x 18 m

Gym audio is an even-coverage problem before a peak-SPL problem. Members spread across the whole floor, so the design goal is consistent energy from any station rather than a single loud sweet spot. A wide-dispersion point source distributes music across a broad footprint, and stepping several cabinets across the ceiling plane keeps the level uniform as people move between zones.

The preset assumes a 30 x 18 m floor, a live-event SPL target, a listener distance of about 12 m from the nearest cabinet and a 60% power setting to leave headroom for peaks. The cabinet shown is a KGEAR GH8, a wide-coverage point source TechnoGuru works with where the application fits; it is one valid choice among several. Switch to any other point source in the dropdown to compare the SPL and quantity implications for the same room.

Read three outputs: SPL at the listener against the target, the -6 dB coverage radius (use it to step cabinet spacing along the ceiling so zones overlap rather than leave dead patches), and the suggested quantity from area-divided-by-coverage. Adding cabinets or raising power moves the level up predictably; the planner is a triage pass to bracket the count, not the final loudspeaker layout.

What this preset deliberately does not model: the reverberant field of a hard-floor, mirror-walled gym (which inflates effective level and can blur intelligibility), the separate instructor-mic and studio-zone systems most gyms run on their own amplifier channels, subwoofer pairing for low-end impact, and the DSP tuning that actually delivers even coverage on site. Final make, model and quantity are selected after drawings and site conditions are reviewed and remain subject to project requirement, consultant or client approval and availability.

To take a gym audio brief forward, use the brief wizard or /contact to hand off a safe enquiry summary; TechnoGuru's pro-audio and systems-integration scope covers the amplifier, DSP and zoning design that sits downstream of this coverage estimate.
