Zoned Sound System for Retail Spaces

A modern zoned sound system for retail spaces enables effective audio and communication management across different areas of a commercial environment. The solution is based on the Intusonic HMA74 audio matrix, allowing independent control of four zones, ensuring consistent background music playback, promotional messaging, and customer information.

The system is built around an audio matrix that allows flexible routing of audio sources to selected zones such as sales floors, shopping aisles, entrance areas, checkout zones, and outdoor spaces.

Marketing Announcements and Zone Control

The system supports voice announcements for both informational and promotional purposes using the Intusonic HPA41 zone paging microphone. Staff can direct messages to selected areas, enabling effective marketing communication, promotion awareness, and real-time customer updates.

Background Music and Audio Automation

The Waves System AP420 network player enables scheduled playback of promotional messages and music playlists. This allows audio content to be adjusted based on time of day, customer traffic, or ongoing marketing campaigns.

The device also supports internet radio and locally stored playlists, helping to create a consistent and engaging in-store atmosphere.

In selected zones, the system can be expanded with the Bluesound Professional B100S streamer, enabling music playback from streaming services. This is particularly suitable for boutiques and premium retail areas where tailored music selection enhances brand identity.

Integration of Microphones and Local Audio Sources

The system can be extended with the Intusonic HZE11x wall panel featuring a line input and volume control. It allows quick connection of external audio devices such as wireless microphones - for example the Relacart UR-290D MH/T system.

This solution is especially useful in promotional zones, showrooms, and event areas where product presentations, marketing activities, or special events take place. It enables local use of the sound system without interfering with overall system operation.
