Sound Systems for Retail
Premium Retail Outlet
The coverage consistency is assured with the wide dispersion Up 4S loudspeakers, which also suit the mounting restrictions. Low frequency performance is enhanced using Sub 10 loudspeakers at floor level.
Using the SmartAmp 30’s on-board loudspeaker processing frees up two outputs from the Zone 4 to provide coverage to staff areas.
Modern retail environments are design-conscious spaces, where creating the right atmosphere for the clientele is key.
This high-end fashion outlet requires dynamic and punchy sound with consistent coverage across the shop floors, with control from the office via a ZonePad 4. This is in an old building with minimal space behind the ceiling.
Small Retail Outlet
For the smaller independent retailer, budget is always a serious consideration, but an unobtrusive, smooth sounding system that creates the right atmosphere is still important.
A Zone 4P gives all that is needed in a single package that can be operated directly from the front panel, with the Zone4P sitting on a shelf under the counter.
The wide dispersion and wide frequency range of Up 4 loudspeakers are the ideal solution here, with loudspeakers included in the staff and stock rooms for staff communication and relaxation.
