Enhance Productivity and the Overall Experience with the Ultimate Sound System

Imagine walking into two different offices. One is quiet, with the sound of keyboards and the HVAC system as background noise. The other greets you with soft, clear, and detailed background music. Can you feel the difference? 

Everyone, from clients to employees, can feel it too. 

But not every space in your Santa Clara County, CA, office benefits from the same type of music and audio. Multi-zone audio in office design provides the solution.

The Benefits of Multi-Zone Audio

Instead of blasting overhead music across an open space, multi-zone audio offers targeted sound in lounges, conference rooms, common zones, and reception areas. These zones are managed from a single interface. From selecting audio sources to controlling volume, each area comes alive with the ideal sound. 

Some of the benefits this system brings include: 

• Tailored Soundscapes: A meeting room would benefit from much different audio than a reception area. In video conference rooms, these systems, combined with smart microphones, can enhance clarity, ensuring everyone is given an equal voice. 
• Enhances the Experience: These systems improve the experience for those visiting and for those working. Background music can reduce distractions, and ambient sounds have been shown to boost productivity as well as enhance creativity and focus.
• Respects Privacy: An office with no background noise makes it easy to hear what others are saying. This is especially true in today’s open floorplan concepts, where music acts as a form of sound masking. 
• Boosts Flexibility: These systems are adaptable. You can add speakers and new audio sources over time. If the layout changes, upgrading zones is effortless. 
• Provides Centralized Control: These systems are managed from a single device, making it easy to schedule playlists for one or more areas, change audio sources, and adjust the volume.  

The Speakers

High-performance in-ceiling speakers ensure your office retains its aesthetics by blending in seamlessly with the surroundings. Grilles can be painted or plastered over. Some speakers even look like small aperture recessed lights. 

As architectural speakers grew in demand, so did their quality. While not always as powerful as floorstanding speakers, strategically installed in-ceiling and in-wall speakers offer a more enveloping, evenly distributed sound that’s crystal clear and ideal for an office setting. 

The Source

These sound systems integrate with multiple audio sources, including high-resolution audio playlists provided by music services like Tidal, Amazon Music, Qobuz, and Apple Music. Media players, microphones, and displays also connect to multi-zone audio systems. 

Play a different source in different rooms or play one throughout the entire office.

Integrates with Commercial Automation

These systems also integrate with smart automation, enabling one-touch control to create the ideal environment. When the first person arrives in the morning, they press a button to adjust the climate, open the shades, illuminate certain lights, and stream specified audio throughout the building. 

When the last person leaves, another tap on an in-wall keypad will lock the doors, turn off the interior lights, turn on the security lighting, lower the shades, and set the alarm. 

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
