LD Systems and Cameo at the MegaSport Gym in Mallorca

With more than 27,000 m² of floor space, 26 training areas and over 700 classes per week, the MegaSport Centre in Palma de Mallorca is one of the largest and most modern fitness centres in Europe. From traditional strength and cardio areas to specialised Pilates zones, a spa and extensive outdoor spaces, the gym offers a wide range of training options. To meet the high standards required in terms of equipment and training quality from a technical perspective, the operator, Grupo Cursach, decided to carry out a comprehensive upgrade of the audio and lighting systems in several areas – opting for installation solutions from LD Systems and Cameo. The new setup was planned and implemented by the in-house technical department, in close collaboration with the Adam Hall Integrated Systems Support Team.

Individual planning for each training area

The system design was based on a clearly structured approach: a separate sound and lighting concept was developed for each area, tailored to its intended use, the room’s architecture and the desired atmosphere. “Every room is different,” explains Dani Morales, Technical Director at Grupo Cursach. “For this reason, we developed several options in advance and then decided on a final setup based on sound quality, usage scenarios and costs.”

In the main training areas as well as in the Reformer Pilates room, the team opted for the compact LD Systems CURV 500 array systems, which were installed at regular intervals to ensure even sound distribution. In combination with the CURV 500 I SUB subwoofers, the solution delivers a full sound with precise directionality – even in open areas subject to increased external noise. “The CURV 500 systems are very compact, yet deliver enough power to meet our requirements whilst being extremely cost-effective,” confirms Dani Morales. For the central Pilates/yoga room, the team opted for a solution based on the STINGER 8 G2 loudspeakers, which provide discreet background sound and blend perfectly into the tranquil training atmosphere.

More recently, the indoor cycling studio was upgraded with a powerful LD Systems MAILA system. Two flown arrays, each comprising two MAILA SAT X and four MAILA SAT modules, provide even sound coverage across the spacious training area. Two MAILA SUB 15 subwoofers deliver the low-frequency foundation, while two ADA 8K4 4-channel DSP & Dante amplifiers power the system. Combining high sound quality, precise coverage and ample headroom, the setup delivers the powerful sound experience required for high-energy indoor cycling classes.

A lighting concept that balances function and atmosphere

In addition to audio, lighting design also played a crucial role in the various areas of the gym, particularly in the semi-open weight room. The challenge here was to combine functional lighting for working out with atmospheric lighting. “We need plenty of light in this area – users must be able to see clearly whilst performing their exercises. At the same time, however, we also wanted to create a distinct atmosphere,” explains Dani Morales.

The team went for a combination of Cameo ZENIT W300 SMD LED wash lights for wide-area, indirect illumination and Q-SPOT 40i LED spotlights, which, thanks to their IP65 rating, accentuate the landscaping in the surrounding outdoor area. The setup is complemented by Cameo ROOT BAR LED bars, which have been integrated in pairs as vertical lines of light into the open steel structure of the training area, adding more structure and depth to the space.

In the indoor cycling studio, Cameo Q-SPOT 40 RGBW LED spotlights create a dynamic training atmosphere. The compact spotlights, installed on the ceiling, illuminate the room with colourful lighting effects, thereby enhancing the high-energy atmosphere of the cycling classes without overwhelming the functional architecture. Lighting is controlled centrally via a grandMA3 onPC system in combination with Cameo XNODE4 Ethernet nodes.

“For me, it was important to have a partner who was able to supply everything from cables to the complete system. What’s more, the team in Spain is always available – that gives us peace of mind for our projects.”

Streamlined implementation thanks to meticulous preparation

Despite the scope of the project, the on-site implementation was carried out efficiently in a structured manner. Thorough preparation played a crucial role in this. “The installation itself was fairly straightforward, as we had planned everything in advance and were able to rely on standardised solutions from Adam Hall – from the cabling right through to the mounting brackets,” reports Dani Morales.

Another key to success lies in the long-standing partnership that spans Grupo Cursach’s various venues in Mallorca – including not only the MegaSport Centre but also the Megapark and the BCM Nightclub in Magaluf. “We’ve been working with the Adam Hall Group for nearly ten years,” says Dani Morales. “For me, it was important to have a partner who was able to supply everything from cables to the complete system. What’s more, the team in Spain is always available – that gives us peace of mind for our projects.”
