In the 1930s, America's urban landscape began to dramatically change. As city space grew limited, buildings grew higher and higher, eventually seeming to scrape the sky. Along with the new architecture came a necessary new invention—the elevator. However, passengers of these new contraptions were less than enthusiastic. Some were terrified. Muzak developed the first commercial sound systems and installed them in elevators to soothe riders' frazzled nerves. It worked. Muzak has played in the White House, in space, during wars and World Series. Seventy years ago we invented an industry; three generations later we're still revolutionizing it.
What does a red rose sound like? How do you make a Martini out of music? An eight ball out of sound? Muzak's Music and Sound Architects use digital audio, commercial sound systems and recessed ceiling speakers the way artists use paints, canvas and brushes: as tools to express feeling, to entice emotion. To create experiences. Our Music Architects wield a palette of 1.5 million songs performed by the original artist, and the artistic ability to express detail and nuance. To be expressionistic, impressionistic, abstract, and realistic simultaneously. Our Sound Architects, high end audio design professionals, create commercial sound systems perfectly suited to your business, your customers.
Muzak audio can be engaging, enveloping, or efficient. Depending on the establishment, a bar sound system generally is designed to deliver engaging sound, sound that grabs a customer by the collar and says "let's rock!" Restaurant sound systems, generally, need to provide sound that envelopes customers, surrounding them in rich, luxurious music. Other establishments might be best suited by efficient commercial sound systems that produce high quality sound day after day. When it comes to sound, Muzak's Sound Architects demand absolute perfection. High end audio design specific to your business, and expert installation of your recessed ceiling speakers. And with over 1000 technicians nationwide, you can rely on our support network.
When asked to design a bar sound system, our Sound Architects will work closely with our Music Architects to truly understand the business and its customers. Using a process called Audio Branding, we create your business's image in sound. From an upscale cocktail lounge to a friendly neighborhood pub to a sports bar, a sound system designed and installed by Muzak's Sound Architects and support personnel can perfectly capture the mood of your establishment and clientele. Your Music Architect will use this knowledge to develop a music program that creates the ideal atmosphere for your business. In addition, we offer over 80 music programs that provide commercial-free music screened for content. Also free of DJ intrusion or any syndicated programming, Muzak's music programs can fuel your bar sound system with 100% digital music suitable for every night of the week.
For restaurant sound systems, our Sound and Music Architects will carefully analyze all aspects of the business. The type of food served, site specifications, customer analyses, and many other aspects play roles in Muzak's Audio Branding process. Based on Audio Branding and the restaurant, sound systems can be either engaging, enveloping, or efficient. A family-style pizza parlor, for example, could better benefit from an engaging sound, whereas upscale dining establishments would find relaxing, enveloping restaurant sound systems a better fit. Our original digital music programs also provide solutions suitable for any restaurant. From Middle Eastern restaurant sound systems to Euro style for your bistro's system, we offer commercial-free programs in absolutely every flavor.
Audio Branding is the tool we use to capture your business's atmosphere, its flavor. Regardless of your industry, Audio Branding translates your business's personality into a language that speaks directly to your customers' hearts.
