A worked example

A venue with two rooms that wants to keep playing without internet, billed yearly:
BackSound Stream: STREAM PRO, €29.95 per month for both rooms together.
Soundtrack: Unlimited twice, 2 × €55 = €110 per month.
If you want different music in each room, you need an amplifier per room with us. We supply and install those too.
