A Customer Story: Scrapyard’s Indoor Climbing Gym Speaker System Upgrade
Background
Scrapyard Climbing Collective in Holland, Michigan, is an indoor climbing facility built around the idea of introducing people to rock climbing and creating a space where community and growth go hand in hand. The gym was born from founder Joshua Bochniak’s passion for climbing, sparked by a single life-changing experience on the wall. From that moment on, he was driven to share the power of indoor and outdoor rock climbing with others.
In 2013, he moved to Holland with his family and began working at a small bouldering gym while raising his children. Over time, he gained experience, developed his vision, and eventually had the opportunity to take over the gym in 2018. Through hard work and dedication, he transformed the space into Scrapyard Climbing Collective, a gym that reflects his commitment to community, learning, and accessible climbing for all.
Working with Pure Resonance Audio
As the gym grew, so did the need for a high-quality indoor climbing gym speaker system that could support daily music playback and occasional events. The facility spans roughly 5,000 square feet with ceilings reaching 25 feet, which presented a challenge in finding a system that could deliver powerful, even sound throughout the space.
Joshua turned to Pure Resonance Audio for a professional solution that would meet these needs while staying within budget and avoiding the cost of a fully custom-designed system. He worked closely with Sales Engineer Andrew McPherson, who helped him confidently select an audio system for his indoor rock climbing gym that matched both the performance requirements and budget. The speaker system needed to be robust, flexible, and scalable for future needs.
The final solution included six 6.5” commercial pendant speakers that provide strong coverage from above and a 500-watt rack mount Bluetooth mixer amplifier for simple, centralized control. This setup delivers clear, high-quality audio throughout the gym while maintaining balanced sound across all areas of the space.
Reflection
The new system has brought a clear and noticeable improvement in sound quality throughout the gym. Music now fills the space evenly, creating an energetic and engaging atmosphere. The installation process was seamless, and the system has performed reliably from day one.
Joshua is pleased with the system’s performance, dependability, and potential for future expansion. The upgraded indoor rock climbing gym audio system has elevated the overall environment at Scrapyard Climbing Collective and aligns with the gym’s mission to foster a welcoming and motivating space for all members.
