Commercial Audio Systems

Commercial audio systems provide a comfortable level of background music while creating a pleasant working atmosphere.

Commercial Background Music Systems

The benefit of a 100v line commercial speaker system is that 100v speakers operate at low power. This means the amount of speakers that can be run is only limited by the amplifier's power.

For example, a 500w, 100v line amplifier can power over 300 speakers tapped at 1.5 watts. This professional system makes for easy installation, operation and maintenance.

A common mistake with installation audio is to overestimate the power required from speakers.

Ceiling speakers give a wide sound field due to being above head height. When using multiple speakers, a low wattage will obtain more than desirable coverage, and have plenty of power for commercial background music systems.

Commercial Speaker Systems

For shops and offices there are discreet ceiling speakers and stylish wall speakers, while for warehouses and factories we have pendant style speakers for extra wide coverage.

We have IP rated speakers for toilets and weatherproof speakers for outdoor areas such as smoking shelters and terraces. From a small background music system for a shop, to full on commercial pa system in multiple areas of an industrial property, we have a large range of commercial speaker systems to suit.

Our 100v line PA specialists can help from the design phase onwards. We can supply wiring diagrams for your bespoke system, to phone support, and even full installation by one of our authorised installers.

In-Ceiling Installed Speaker Systems

In-ceiling installed speaker systems offer an elegant solution for a wide range of commercial environments, from restaurants and cafes to retail stores and office spaces. These systems are designed to blend seamlessly into the architecture of a room, providing high-quality audio without disrupting the aesthetic. One of the primary advantages of in-ceiling speakers is their ability to distribute sound evenly throughout a space, ensuring that music or announcements are heard clearly, regardless of where someone is located in the room.

Moreover, in-ceiling systems are incredibly versatile. They can be installed in various ceiling types, including dropped ceilings and plaster, with options available for moisture-resistant models suitable for environments like spas or indoor pools. This flexibility makes them an ideal choice for businesses looking to enhance their audio experience without compromising on style or space.

Ease of installation and low maintenance are other significant benefits. Once installed, these speakers require minimal upkeep, making them a practical choice for commercial settings where durability and longevity are paramount. Additionally, the technology behind in-ceiling speakers has evolved, offering superior sound quality that can rival traditional speaker setups, ensuring that businesses don't have to sacrifice performance for aesthetics.

In-ceiling installed speaker systems are a sophisticated, efficient, and effective way to incorporate high-quality audio into commercial spaces. Their discreet presence, combined with excellent sound distribution and minimal maintenance, makes them a smart investment for enhancing the ambiance and functionality of any commercial environment.

Wall-Mounted Commercial Speaker Systems

Wall-mounted commercial speaker systems are a dynamic and flexible audio solution for businesses looking to amplify their environment with clear, robust sound. These systems are particularly beneficial for venues where floor or ceiling space is limited, allowing for strategic placement to optimise sound coverage and quality. The adaptability of wall-mounted speakers means they can be positioned at the ideal height and angle to ensure the best possible listening experience for both background music and public announcements.

One of the key advantages of wall-mounted systems is their direct sound projection, which can be crucial in environments with high ambient noise levels, such as gyms, bars, or warehouses. By directing sound towards specific areas, these speakers can greatly enhance speech intelligibility and music clarity, making them an excellent choice for any setting where clear communication is essential.

Additionally, modern wall-mounted speakers come in a variety of designs and sizes, making it easier for businesses to find an option that complements their interior décor. Whether the aesthetic is sleek and modern or more traditional, there's a speaker system to match, ensuring that function never compromises form.

Installation and integration into existing audio systems are straightforward, offering scalability and flexibility. Businesses can start with a basic setup and expand as their needs grow, adding more speakers or integrating with more complex audio-visual systems without extensive renovation or downtime.

Wall-mounted commercial speaker systems combine practicality with performance, offering businesses a versatile audio solution that enhances the customer experience. Their ability to deliver targeted, high-quality sound, along with their aesthetic versatility and ease of integration, makes them an invaluable tool for creating immersive and engaging commercial environments.

Commercial Audio Systems with Bluetooth

Commercial audio systems with Bluetooth technology represent a significant leap forward in versatility and user-friendliness for businesses across various industries. Incorporating Bluetooth connectivity into commercial audio setups allows for wireless streaming of music or announcements directly from smartphones, tablets, or computers, eliminating the need for complex wiring or dedicated media players. This feature significantly simplifies the process of updating playlists or making announcements, providing businesses with the flexibility to easily manage their audio content.

The integration of Bluetooth technology enhances the accessibility of commercial audio systems, making them more adaptable to the needs of different venues. For example, in a retail environment, staff can instantly change the music to match the mood or promotional activities without needing to access a central control system. In hospitality settings, such as hotels or restaurants, Bluetooth connectivity allows for personalised audio experiences, all controlled from a single device.

Another advantage of Bluetooth-enabled commercial audio systems is the ease of installation and setup. Without the necessity for extensive cabling, these systems can be installed with minimal disruption to business operations. Additionally, Bluetooth’s universal compatibility ensures that these audio systems can work with a wide range of devices, providing a future-proof solution that can adapt to evolving technology trends.

Multi-Zone Audio Systems

Multi-zone audio systems provide an advanced solution for businesses requiring customised audio experiences across different areas or rooms within a single venue. These systems are designed to deliver separate audio streams to distinct zones, allowing for tailored soundscapes that cater to the unique atmosphere or purpose of each space. Whether it's upbeat music in a retail store's main shopping area, subdued background tunes in a cozy café corner, or clear announcements in a factory, multi-zone systems offer the versatility needed to meet diverse audio requirements.

The key advantage of multi-zone audio systems lies in their ability to create immersive environments that enhance customer experiences while maintaining operational efficiency for the business. For instance, a restaurant could play lively music in the dining area while broadcasting softer, more relaxing melodies in the lounge or waiting areas. This level of control extends to volume adjustments, ensuring that sound levels are appropriate for the activities and ambiance of each zone.

From a technical standpoint, multi-zone systems are typically easy to manage, thanks to centralised control panels or software that allow staff to adjust settings, such as volume and music selection, with just a few clicks. This centralised management system reduces the need for physical adjustments in each zone, saving time and minimising disruptions to customers and operations.

Moreover, the scalability of multi-zone audio systems makes them an excellent investment for businesses of all sizes. As a venue expands or changes its layout, additional zones can be integrated into the existing system, providing a seamless audio experience throughout the space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a commercial audio system?

A commercial audio system is designed for installation in commercial settings like offices, retail stores, and warehouses, offering solutions for background music and vocal reinforcement. These systems can range from single to multi-zone speaker setups, incorporating features like Bluetooth, MP3, and FM tuners for versatility. The systems utilize 100v line technology, allowing for a large number of speakers to be powered by a single amplifier, making them suitable for both small and large spaces​​.

How do I choose a commercial speaker system?

To choose a commercial speaker system, consider the specific needs of your space, including size, desired sound quality, and the system's primary use (e.g., background music, announcements). Assess the environment to determine the type and number of speakers needed. Look for features that match your requirements, such as wireless connectivity or built-in amplifiers, and ensure the system can be expanded or adjusted as needed.

Is there such thing as a wireless commercial sound system?

While the idea of a fully wireless commercial sound system is appealing, in reality, components such as speakers and amplifiers still require cables for power, even if audio signals are transmitted wirelessly. Systems often utilise Bluetooth for streaming audio from devices or radio frequency for wireless microphones, offering a degree of wireless convenience. However, the need for physical power connections means truly wireless systems are not fully achievable yet.

How many watts should a commercial audio system be?

The wattage for a commercial audio system varies widely depending on the size of the space and the sound level required. For background music in a small space, a system with a lower wattage may suffice, while larger venues requiring higher sound levels for music or announcements might need systems with significantly higher wattage. The key is to match the system's power output with the acoustic demands of the environment, considering both the area's size and the intended use of the sound system.

Please contact us via email or phone for advice about a system that matches your needs.

How do you set up a commercial sound system?

Setting up a commercial sound system involves selecting the right components like amplifiers, speakers, and sources, then installing and configuring them to meet the space's acoustic requirements. It's crucial to consider the environment's size, the system's purpose (e.g., background music or announcements), and the desired audio quality. Proper planning for speaker placement and wiring is essential for optimal sound coverage and performance.

For detailed instructions, feel free to contact our knowledgeable sales team who will help select or design a system tailored to your requirements.

Should I buy ceiling or wall-mounted speakers?

Choosing between ceiling and wall-mounted speakers depends on your space and audio coverage needs. Ceiling speakers are often preferred for even sound distribution in larger areas or to maintain a clean aesthetic, while wall-mounted speakers can be more directional, offering focused sound ideal for specific listening zones. Consider the acoustic characteristics of your space and the desired sound impact when making your choice.

How does a multi-zone commercial sound system work?

A multi-zone commercial sound system allows different areas (zones) of a space to play separate audio streams simultaneously or control the volume independently. This is achieved through a system design that includes a central amplifier or mixer with multi-zone capabilities, connected to speakers distributed across the various zones. Users can manage the audio output, such as music or announcements, for each zone via the central control, making it versatile for environments like restaurants, retail stores, and office buildings where different areas may have different audio requirements.

What is the difference between an audio mixer and an audio amplifier?

An audio mixer allows for the control and combination of different audio signals, adjusting levels, balancing, and adding effects before sending them to an output. An audio amplifier, on the other hand, boosts the signal strength from the mixer or other audio sources to a level that can drive speakers to produce sound. Essentially, mixers manage and blend audio signals, while amplifiers increase signal power for speaker output.
