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 The JBL Ease software program shows a colour coded performance map of a sound system in a given space. 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.

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.
