Getting Started with Commercial Audio Video?
AV Solutions for Offices, Restaurants, Retail Spaces & More
Almost every business uses commercial audio video. And if you’re reading this as a business owner, there’s a solution specific to your establishment just around the corner. Maybe you own a coffee shop that will make customers feel cozy with folk music over the multi-room sound system. Or perhaps you manage an office building that needs LED screens to display important internal information. Whatever your needs, a commercial AV system does not run in the same way a home’s setup does. But even at a larger scale, your media will be just as easy to use.

How Commercial AV Works
In a home theater or living room, your speaker wires all connect back to a receiver. But in a commercial system that can extend over thousands of feet, the speakers are connected in a chain-like sequence. Whether the audio source is a TV, music player, or intercom, the signal will travel to an amp, which powers the speaker channels. Wires connect the output of the amp to a controller and from the controller’s output to the first speaker’s input. Then like a chain, your speakers will connect from input to output, input to output. A professional like Circle Industries can install the system with hidden wires and recessed speakers for a sleek, clean finish on every wall.
One-Touch Control
Depending on the size of your space, you could reach dozens or possibly hundreds of speakers and displays. How will you manage it all? A smart system like Control4, Crestron, or Savant will let you access every speaker and screen from one app on your phone or tablet. You can group speakers and TVs into rooms and control at room or speaker level. Raise the volume, select a new playlist, turn everything off for the night, or update the display on video signage. It’s as easy as one tap on your device!
Solutions for Your Business
Maybe you run a sports bar or a venue that needs a video wall of connected screens. Or perhaps you’re opening a gym with several HD displays and speakers. Stores need an intercom system that can reach many rooms at once, along with enjoyable high-quality music. In an office, your conference rooms and lobby may require digital signage with company-wide information. Cafés and fast-casual restaurants can use digital signage for eye-catching menu boards. With a professional AV installation, you’ll have all the media you need that’s easy to access and control on your own.
