The right kit, speaker count and wiring for a salon, from a small barbershop to a multi-chair studio. Bad sound makes good speakers sound unprepared. Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Even coverage beats one loud speaker. - Four to six speakers suit most salons. - Match the amplifier and speaker type before buying. Quick answer A salon needs even, low-level background music, not one loud speaker. For most salons that means four to six ceiling or wall speakers on a small amplifier with Bluetooth and an AUX input, so music reaches every chair and the waiting area at a volume that still lets clients talk. Check that the speakers and the amplifier are the same type (100V line or low-impedance) before you buy.

Most salons use four to six, spread evenly so no corner is much louder than another. A small barbershop can work with two to four. Can I just use a Bluetooth speaker? One portable speaker is loud near the speaker and weak at the back, and it is not made to run all day. Several small speakers on one amplifier give even sound and are safer to leave on. Do I need a licence to play music in my salon? Playing recorded music in a business can need licences from Kenya's music rights societies. A Kenyan court has treated the MCSK and KAMP-PRISK licences as separate, so confirm with both societies before you start. ## Why customers choose Qyvea **Genuine brands**: Manufacturer warranty on what we sell, so you are not gambling on the box. **One team, start to finish**: The people who advise you also install and support it. **Fast answers**: WhatsApp replies usually within 30 minutes, and delivery within 24 hours in Nairobi. **Easy to buy**: Pay by M-Pesa, bank transfer or card.
