Size and Layout

First, you need to determine your physical constraints based on your size and layout. These will affect the number and types of speakers needed. For example, larger spaces or those with high ceilings may require more strategically placed speakers to distribute sound evenly.

Number and Placement of Speakers

One of the biggest mistakes commercial spaces make is having a few speakers clustered in one area. The people nearby are annoyed by the noise, while those far away can't hear at all. Instead, speakers should be evenly spread throughout the space to deliver uniform sound.  

Wired vs. Wireless Systems

Wireless systems are easier to install and could work in smaller spaces, but they will inevitably be lower quality and unreliable. Unless running wires is impossible, we always recommend using wired systems. They'll let you deliver higher-quality sound, and you don't risk delayed commands or subpar sound due to connectivity issues.

Commercial-Grade Components

Unlike home audio systems, commercial setups require specialized components, like 70V amplifiers, to power multiple speakers over long cable runs efficiently. Commercial amplifiers, mixers, and speakers are designed for continuous use in public spaces and should always be used instead of residential products.
