USA - During a 25-minute OHM fitness class, lighting is synchronised with the video feed to create a fully immersive workout experience. As a workout progresses, lighting changes colours, and instructors intensify the music as the workout becomes more challenging. During cool-down, instructors turn to softer, calming music to help relax members.
OHM Franchise, headquartered in Arizona with studios nationwide, turned to Randy Stearman, owner of Arizona-based integrator Holocron LLC, to create a lighting and audio package that could be replicated at every location. Stearman chose the Connect Series amplifiers from LEA Professional to drive each workout.
“LEA is right in that sweet spot where we have the power requirements, the channel counts, and the super-efficient architecture,” said Stearman. “The ease of integration and flexibility of their amplifiers made them a no-brainer for the AV systems at OHM Fitness.”
Stearman uses LEA Professional Connect Series 354 amplifiers to power four pairs of 8” surface-mount loudspeakers situated throughout the studio. The IoT-enabled 4-channel amplifier provides 350W per channel, supports Hi-Z (70V or 100V) and Lo-Z selectable by channel, and features Smart Power Bridge technology.
With three ways to connect, OHM Fitness can engage the built-in Wi-Fi access point, connect to the facility’s Wi-Fi, or connect to the local area network via Cat5 or Cat6 cable. When combined with the loudspeakers, the amplifier delivers immersive audio to pair with the unique workout experience.
With LEA Cloud, AV teams can remotely control and monitor the amplifiers regardless of the location or time of day. Whether onsite at any OHM Fitness location or in a home office, controlling the Connect Series amplifiers from afar helps teams work more efficiently, reducing travel and saving time and money.
“OHM Fitness is not just a workout studio but a whole experience,” added Stearman. “Everything is unique, right down to the audio, and LEA amps play an important part. They’re easy to use, and the team at LEA is great to work with. They are a fantastic partner.”
