AUDIO APPLICATION GUIDE for
RETAIL
SPACES
Is music working for you?
Every retailer understands that playing the right music can increase sales.
While a shopper is hearing music they like, they stay in your shop longer and
are more likely to buy something. They’re also more likely to come back again,
because they feel comfortable there.
Of course, it’s not enough just to put your home stereo in a corner and hope
that will do the trick. If it’s to give you any benefit, the music you play has to
be part of the whole unique environment of your shop. To make that happen,
you need a proper sound system that suits your retail space.
Jands’ audio packages for retail are cost-effective, commercial-grade systems,
specifically designed for applications like yours. Using world-renowned JBL
technology, our systems deliver high-fidelity performance and produce topquality sound without blowing your budget.
Sounds that suit your space
Whether you’re fitting out a new shop or renovating an existing
one, getting the sound system right is critical. This takes expertise:
knowledge of which system is best for the space and where to put the
components so they achieve maximum effect, yet blend in seamlessly
with the design of the shop.
Jands has this expertise.
Assess, design, install
Whether you want your own electrician to install the system, or you’re looking for a
complete solution, Jands can provide a cost-effective service. Even if you’re only at the
planning stage we can work from drawings of your space.
What’s your space?
First we’ll examine the space you have available and assess its acoustics. We’ll also ask you
what type of mood you’re trying to create. Is your shop a cool, soothing environment or
exciting and upbeat? What sort of music are you thinking of playing? Do you need the
whole area to be evenly covered with sound, or do you want some areas to be quieter than
others?
What’s your source?
Next we look at the sound sources you need. Will you be playing CDs or plugging in your

smartphone or iPod? Do you need a microphone so you can make announcements? Do you
want the system to be connected to an emergency evacuation system?
What about speakers?
Lastly, we look at what sort of speakers you need and where they should be positioned.
As they generate the actual sound, the speakers are the most important part of any sound
system, so choosing the right ones and positioning them correctly is crucial.
To help you make this decision, we run an acoustic simulation program that accurately
predicts how many speakers you’ll need and where they need to be positioned to give the
optimal performance and coverage.
The parts you’ll need
Every sound system has three main components: a set of speakers, the amplifier that powers them and
a mixer so you can control the sound. Jands uses JBL technology for all three of these components. Why
JBL? Quite simply because they’re the best in the field, and depending on your application, can cost less
than equivalent domestic products.
JBL have spent decades perfecting sound technology for use in arenas, movie theatres, recording studios and
homes. JBL constantly set new standards because they have a genuine passion for audio and superb attention
to detail.

JBL’s Control Contractor series of speakers are perfect for every retail environment, from the most intimate shop to the largest

The amplifier
The JBL Commercial Series Amplifier (CSA2120) provides all the power
and flexibility you need. It’s a compact, lightweight amplifier that you can
install in a cabinet or on the wall. With two 120-watt channels it’s got
plenty of power so it can deliver clear, accurate, undistorted sound.
The CSA2120 has automatic overheat protection and auto-standby mode
to save power when you’re not playing music; it’s also convection-cooled

so there’s no noisy fan whirring away in the background all day.
The mixer
The JBL mixers give you two or three stereo inputs, so you can plug in a
combination of CD or DVD players, iPods or smartphones, as well as a
microphone all at once and choose which one you want to use.
CSM–32 - Mixer
JBL mixers are incredibly easy to use, and include:
• LevelGuard, which automatically adjusts the volume of any
device you connect so you don’t get sudden volume changes
(when you switch from the CD player to your iPhone for
example)
• Auto-Warmth, which automatically adjusts the tone as you turn
the volume up or down to prevent music from sounding too
thin when it’s quiet or too boomy when it’s loud.
• Wall Controllers, useful if you have a big store, you can control
the mixer remotely from wall-mounted locations around the
shop.
