It's Thursday and your tooth hurts. You make an appointment and end up in his office. In the waiting room, the stress is rising. The dentist is one of your phobias.
The silence and the world that still exists before your turn make you lose your mind.
Impatient, you leave, and you will not forget to put only a ⭐ on the Google Review of your practitioner, followed by a salty comment.

This experience could have been avoided. Let us tell you how.

We've all experienced that unpleasant moment in the waiting room. Whether it's the heavy silence, the crowds packed into a small room, the magazines piled up on the coffee table that are at least five or ten years old, anything could push us towards the exit.

You are professionals and you have taken care of the decoration with care, the chairs, the coffee table, the colors, the plants... But what about the sound ambiance?

Music is a vector of emotions, it entertains, soothes, and makes us happy. It can also be used to convey messages, or become a sound signature for the company. Music is versatile !

Would you like to improve your reception area/waiting room musically?

We share some tips with you here: ⬇️

Step 1 - Decide where to place your speakers

Whether it is a single speaker or several, it is important to know how to place them correctly. We have already written an article on this, here it is: how to place your speakers

You also need to think about the clientele you are going to have, will there be a lot of children or a lot of traffic? In this case it would be better to place the speakers on a high stand for example.

Step 2 - Find a suitable radio/playlist

It may seem difficult to find a playlist or a radio for someone other than yourself. Musical tastes vary from person to person, and from age to age. There are many playlists or radios designed for a professional context.

The trick is to know what you would like to convey. Would you like to broadcast rather current sounds so that everyone can find what they are looking for? Or sounds without words that soothe and give time for reflection? It's up to you to decide!

On our Octavio Virtuose application, you can access many radios and a good number of podcasts, all you have to do is select them and put them in your favorites. No need to rack your brains to create playlists yourself, practical right?

In order to properly sound your reception, it is advisable to pay what is called SACEM , an organization that takes care of the copyright of singers and musicians.

Well, you know how to keep a secret?

Because we would like to give you a little help... To be able to blend into a multitude of decors our Octavio Maestro speakers are available in two colours: light and black.
