Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the SMS1 Soundzone Business Music System. The SMS1 is an all-in-one solution for businesses that require high quality sound with a minimum of complexity, and a minimum price.

Businesses all around the world are becoming increasingly aware of the positive effect music can have on customers. The overall experience offered by a business is becoming the most important part of capturing the attention of consumers, even more than the actual product or service that is offered. The popularity of high quality, demographically focused music in a business venue can provide tremendous sales impact.

However, getting good sound with minimal complexity and a minimum price has been difficult in the past. The SMS1 System has been designed to eliminate the complexity, provide great sound all the time and at all volumes, and provide more economical choices to businesses that wish to harness the benefits of quality audio.

The SMS1 also offers a tremendous degree of configuration options. It is designed for use as a standalone system, but can be used in several other ways. Multiple SMS-1 Systems can be used together for more coverage in a variety of ways. The SMS1 System can be used in conjunction with other sound systems for providing just the right sound for just the right area. And the SMS1 SUB powered subwoofer can be used separate from the SMS1-SAT’s for even greater flexibility.

There are so many possibilities, due to the versatility of the SMS1 components, that it would be virtually impossible to cover every one of them in detail in this manual. It would also be impossible to anticipate all of the possible uses. To that extent, this manual will provide the underlying knowledge that will allow any user to adapt the SMS1 to their needs, without undue complexity, and with consistently high quality results.

The first step is to briefly name and discuss the various parts included in the SMS1 Package.
