Just add Music to Easily Create Your Branded Environment
Curated streams
Build a musical atmosphere to custom-fit your needs. As the day goes by, customer flow changes and your background music can be programmed to follow these in-store traffic patterns. Curate streams to fit different locations within the business, like a hotel lobby, bar, patio, or main dining room, and leave out music with explicit content and prevent interruptions.
Custom messaging
Drive sales or influence in-store behaviours by incorporating promotional and strategic messages that come through at exact times or precise intervals.
More Control
Program content across different retail locations with centralized controls and ensure less song repetition and high-quality digital sound with minimal variations in volume from song to song. Securely prevent employees or customers from tampering with your strategically chosen audio content.
It’s legal
Playing music to a group of people in a shop, restaurant, or any other public space, qualifies as a public performance and therefore the business is required to pay a royalty fee to the artist. By using a business music service, both content licensing (globally) and performing rights organization (north America only) fees are covered in the cost of the service, helping you to play music legally and avoid costly issues or lawsuits.
With BlueSound hardware that supports nearly unlimited zones of audio and a natively-integrated commercially-licensed music streaming service in SoundMachine, Custom Channels, SiriusXM for Business, Qsic and Tunify, Bluesound Professional makes easy work of creating branded environments for your clients.
Seamless Integration with Control Systems
Bluesound Professional’s line of commercial streaming hardware allows flexible control by third-party control systems, and interfaces exist for all of today’s market-leading automation platforms. BluOS®, the multi-zone, music sharing software that underpins all Bluesound Professional players and active speakers, communicates with third-party control systems such as Q-SYS and other platforms so that A/V system integrators, business owners, consultants and system designers can design seamless audio ecosystems to meet the needs of any commercial installation.
Plays Nicely with Others
With BlueSound there is no reason to replace your existing audio system. The BlueSound ecosystem’s modular design allows it to work seamlessly as an audio system on its own, or with audio components from other brands. As facilities expand or change, the modular nature of the Bluesound Professional product range and ecosystem allows for easy and cost-effective expansion.
