It's always nice when an old friend gets in touch.
Liyen from Hotpod Yoga Daventry called because she knew the audio experience inside the pod could be be so much better.
The existing bookshelf speakers did the job, but they simply couldn't create the immersive experience that Hotpod Yoga is all about.
The challenge wasn't just delivering great music either. Because the speaker system has to sit outside the inflatable pod, the audio needs to project naturally into the space, creating an immersive soundscape without drawing attention to where it's coming from. At the same time, the instructor's voice has to remain crystal clear above the gentle background noise of the pod's heating and air systems.
After looking at the space, the LD Systems CURV 500 ES with a couple of additions was the obvious choice. Its controlled dispersion and incredibly natural sound make it ideal for this kind of environment, filling the pod with rich, detailed audio while remaining compact and unobtrusive outside it.
Installation complete, and the difference is exactly what we'd hoped for. Rich, immersive music, crystal-clear instructor vocals and, most importantly, a sound system that complements the unique Hotpod experience rather than competing with it.
Thanks, Liyen. It's been a pleasure helping bring your vision to life. Over the years I've learnt that great sound isn't about filling a room with noise; it's about supporting the experience you want people to have.
If people walk out talking about how good the class felt rather than the sound system they listened to, we've done our job.
