Background sound systems

The background music of a cafe can affect the mood of visitors. Everyone has noticed this while in a cafe or restaurant. Therefore, background music should be installed in your cafe as well. Thanks to pleasant background sound and properly selected musical content, a comfortable environment is created for visitors. This is important and works for the profit of your business. Cafes, clothing stores, restaurants, beauty salons - background music in these establishments is no less an important attribute of creating a welcoming atmosphere than the politeness of the staff, design, location and lighting. The musical background creates a pleasant atmosphere conducive to shopping, to rest and communication, to the desire to spend a romantic evening or a fun party with friends. You need to make a place of rest so that people love to visit you, thus you can control their mood. And our company is ready to help you with this. Express Sound is the most productive team in the field of equipping cafes and restaurants with professional sound equipment. Our creative and popular proposals for sound attract all customers. For sounding of premises, we choose the most optimal equipment. Our catalog includes the top brands: APart Audio, CVGaudio, Electro-Voice, Proel, Crown, JBL and others. We know all the tricks in connecting and sound equipment and make decent sound with an extended frequency range.

A standard background sound system consists of three main components: acoustic systems; amplifier, signal source (player). Our specialists, at the customer's request, can expand this list of equipment, for example, add an equalizer or zone mixer, which will increase the sound quality and functionality of the system. And you can also reduce it to two components, leaving only a multifunctional mixer-amplifier and acoustic systems.

You can connect a TV broadcast to any extended or budget background sound system, for example, to broadcast sports competitions such as football or hockey, which will increase the number of visitors to your establishment. Also, for small festive events, the systems we install can connect musicians or DJs. This will reduce the cost of additional rental of sound equipment.
The quality of music depends on the type of each segment of equipment. There are different types of acoustic systems: passive, active, transformer, ceiling, wall and all-weather.

Passive acoustic systems - must be connected via an amplifier or mixer-amplifier, thus, when installing these systems, only one acoustic cable is used.

Active acoustic systems - these are the speakers that have their own power amplifier built into the case, and to connect such systems, in addition to the signal cable, it is necessary to conduct 220 V power to the installation site. Active speakers help in some cases, but will be inconvenient for ordinary cafe or restaurant staff.

Transformer loudspeakers - must be installed in such establishments where a long line of acoustic cable laying is assumed or where a large number of acoustic systems are needed, in order to reduce the budget expenditure on amplifiers, transformer amplifiers and corresponding acoustics are installed.

Ceiling acoustic systems - are built into the ceiling of the room and do not interfere with the appearance or design of the establishment, but have a worse sound characteristic when compared with cabinet (wall) acoustic systems. There are ceiling systems with a more extended sound characteristic and they are also additionally provided with a ceiling subwoofer, such a system will give many possibilities. All-weather loudspeakers can be installed at the entrance to establishments for sounding a nearby area on the street or for sounding seats located next to a cafe.

Again, we strongly recommend that you contact the specialists of our company when choosing the type of acoustic systems!!!

The next question of choosing equipment is on amplifiers. There are several types: low-impedance, transformer and mixer amplifiers.

Low-impedance amplifiers are selected for acoustic systems that have an impedance of 4, 8 or 16 Ohms, they also reproduce a full wide range of frequencies. But up to 4 acoustic systems can be connected to one amplifier channel, the total power of which will not exceed the regulated power output by the amplifier. When connecting via long cable lines, the output power is significantly reduced.

For this purpose, there are transformer amplifiers, to which you can connect transformer acoustics in larger quantities and distribute them over long routes. Also, in such a connection scheme, it is possible to insert wall-mounted volume controls for individual zones. The downside of transformer systems is that the quality of music playback is noticeably reduced.

Mixer amplifiers usually have two types of connections for low-impedance acoustics and for transformer acoustics, but have limitations in the total output power. Some models have a built-in USB player, MP3, radio, and even the manufacturer CVGaudio has Bluetooth. An excellent solution for small establishments, where each manager can come with their smartphone and play their favorite music, because the employees' mood should also be lifted!
