Simplify playing licensed music in your business

Legally playing a song in your business requires purchasing the appropriate copyright and reproduction licenses from the controlling performing rights organization (PRO). Different PROs, such as Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) and American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP), control rights to different catalogs of songs.

Sonos Pro makes it simple and seamless.  Sono Pro comes with its own integrated commercial streaming service called Sonos Backgrounds. You can also connect to other commercial streaming services from popular providers. Sonos Pro lets you manage your system even when you are off-site with easy controlled online dashboard.

Lavish can design a sound system for your restaurant or store or can subscripe your existing system to Sonos Pro.  Your business will sound great and can play licensed music with no headaches.
