Business Music Made Easy
Setup and Compatibility
Already have an amplifier and speakers? The 2CBAS connects Brandi Music to them. Starting without a sound system? Alexa and Sonos offer flexible alternatives.
Start With What You Have
There is more than one way to play Brandi Music.
Your best setup depends on whether your business already has an overhead speaker system, how many areas need audio, and whether those areas need the same or different music. Easy On Hold can help you identify the simplest reliable connection.
Traditional Overhead Audio
Connect Brandi Music to your existing amplifier.
The 2-Channel Business Audio System—2CBAS—is a dedicated audio player provided by Easy On Hold. It receives your Brandi Music programming over the internet and supplies an analog audio signal to your sound system.
In a typical installation, an audio cable runs from the appropriate 2CBAS output to an available input on a mixer, amplifier, or combined mixer-amplifier. That equipment powers and distributes the sound to ceiling, pendant, or wall-mounted speakers.
The device is designed for continuous operation, includes local failover audio, and can deliver two unique streams for two separate zones.

Planning a New Installed System
Design the room before choosing the hardware.
Speaker count and amplifier size depend on the space. Consider square footage, ceiling height, indoor or outdoor use, building finishes, listener density, and the number of programming zones. Also identify counters or consultation areas where music should be quieter—or absent.
An installed system may include a mixer, amplifier, equalizer, 70-volt speaker wiring, local volume controls, and paging or wireless microphones. Some products combine the mixer and amplifier in one unit.
For speaker placement, amplifier sizing, and permanent wiring, Easy On Hold recommends an onsite commercial audio professional.
Questions to answer first
- How large is each listening area?
- How high are the ceilings?
- Do indoor and outdoor areas need coverage?
- How many distinct audio zones are needed?
- Will paging or event microphones share the system?
- Is wired Ethernet available near the amplifier?
Don’t Have Installed Speakers?
Start with Alexa-enabled or Sonos speakers.
Wireless speakers can bring licensed Brandi Music to a lobby, office, waiting room, studio, clinic, boutique, or other smaller environment without installing a traditional distributed speaker system.
