Recently we were contacted by a good client that owned a Pizza Restaurant. They had a Sound system installed by another contractor with 2 problems. First the sound was traveling upstairs to the Office above them and second it wasn’t loud enough to really hear well. We took a look and saw that whomever installed the system put the speakers on the ceiling joists or the floor of the upstairs space. Well obviously there’s why they were hearing the sound upstairs. East fix move the location of the speakers. The second problem had to do with a simple Philosophy we follow that is “less is more”. They had 12 speakers installed and connected to a system that is designed for home use and should not have more than 5 speakers connected to it! The problem with more speakers in this case is they lower the volume to each speaker making it harder to hear clearly. We ended up removing all unnecessary speakers. The final result no sound was traveling to the upstairs space and the music sounded much better and even throughout the Restaurant. The lesson is just because you use it in your home doesn’t mean it will work in your business.
