Music today is almost indispensable for most retail, F&B, entertainment & hospitality sectors. Not only is music used in the background, more and more outlets are using music in the foreground applications.

At Advanced Sound & Lighting, we can design solutions for either Background or Foreground music depending on the customer’s requirements & also the available budget.

Background Music System (BGM)

BGM covers the traditional applications typical in cafes, elevators, hotel or building lobbies, etc where soft (often) instrumental music is played in the background. BGM systems can be a simple 2 speaker & an amplifier setup with music from a phone or iPad, to more complex multi-room or multi-zone systems that can play different music streams independently.

More complex BGM systems allow for each zone to playback different playlists which can be manually changed by the staff or scheduled to automatically play different playlists according to the time of day, the day itself, weekdays or weekends, or choreographed to suit the mood or a particular theme, etc.

Foreground Music Applications

Foreground Music has become increasingly popular in recent years, particularly in Cafes, Restaurants, and Retail Outlets. Foreground music usually requires higher-quality music & the music is played at a louder level than traditional BGM applications. This requires better quality components, sometimes using similar equipment as in professional installed music systems.

Foreground Music Systems are also capable of supporting Multi-zone or Multi-room applications with the more complex distributed systems being able to cover entire buildings over an IP network or Dante.
