Frequently Asked Questions

Q Is there a copyright issue with shop music?

Yes. Playing music publicly in commercial premises requires licensing. Using Spotify or YouTube for commercial purposes violates their terms. Commercial platforms like Soundtrack Your Brand cost HK$200-500/month and include licensing.

Q Ceiling or wall speakers for retail?

Ceiling speakers are discreet with even coverage and are preferred for most retail. Wall speakers suit spaces where ceiling installation is impractical, offering more directional sound.

Q 背景音樂音量應該幾大?

零售店建議背景噪音上方 5 至 10dB 即可,一般約 55 至 65dB。音量太大會令顧客不適,太小則失去氛圍效果。

Q 安裝需要幾耐?

小型店舖半天至一天可完成。中型店舖 1 至 2 天。大型空間可能需要 2 至 3 天。建議在非營業時間安裝以減少影響。
