What you’re reading here is a fictional story – not a real project, but an example showing how our NewTec SMART Audio System can work in a three-story fashion store. Each floor covers about 800 square meters and is equipped with CONO canto SMART speakers and SUB canto SMART subwoofers, using the existing power tracks. Scenarios like this are quite common in practice and often look very similar.
The details are meant to give you a realistic idea of what our wireless, design-focused solutions can deliver. These are exactly the kinds of applications we specialize in: tailor-made audio quality and easy installation — perfectly suited for large retail spaces like this three-story fashion store.
Project Overview
The store spans three floors, each with 800 square meters of space. Lighting is provided via 3-phase power tracks, which we use to integrate our speakers and subwoofers directly. The goal was to create a system that plays brand-specific content from an external content player in sync across all floors, while still allowing each floor to be controlled individually.
Challenge
The challenge was to distribute an even, subtle background sound throughout the entire sales area while staying flexible and integrating the system seamlessly into the lighting and interior design concept. At the same time, operation had to remain simple, and integration of the external content player needed to be ensured.
Our solution: the NewTec SMART Audio System featuring CONO canto SMART speakers and SUB canto SMART subwoofers for power track installation
We use speakers and subwoofers that are installed directly into the existing power tracks. Each floor is equipped with around 16 CONO canto SMART speakers, each covering roughly 50 square meters depending on installation height. They are complemented by four SUB canto SMART subwoofers — following a 1:5 ratio (subwoofer to speakers) for optimal sound with rich bass. Each floor features its own SMARTplayer for control. The audio signal from the external content player is fed into the network via SMARTstreamer, ensuring perfectly synchronized playback across all floors, while still allowing each SMARTplayer to be controlled individually.
The planning of the three-story fashion store is carried out in close coordination with the lighting design, ensuring that the speakers and subwoofers blend seamlessly into the overall lighting concept. Control and zone management run through devices on the same network, allowing for flexible operation at any time.
Costs & Installation
The planning is free of charge and non-binding for the client. Since the system operates completely wirelessly via the power tracks, installation is quick and straightforward — with no need for major structural work.
Results & Benefits
With 16 CONO canto SMART speakers and four SUB canto SMART subwoofers per floor, each 800-square-meter level is efficiently covered. Integration into the power tracks ensures a clean, elegant look and minimizes installation effort. Centralized control allows easy operation of the entire system, while the ability to manage each floor individually enables flexible usage scenarios.
Our 360-degree speakers deliver an even sound distribution with crystal-clear tones and warm, inviting bass that enhances the room acoustically without overpowering it. The music feels present yet unobtrusive – ideal for creating a pleasant shopping atmosphere in this three-story fashion store that conveys both emotion and brand identity.
The price per square meter ranges between €5 and €15, covering the complete planning, required hardware, and installation. The actual cost depends largely on the installation height of the speakers, as this determines the coverage area per unit. The desired sound profile also plays a key role: should the music provide subtle background ambience to break the silence, or is a more defined, full-bodied sound level required to fill the space with energy?

For chains with multiple locations, we’re happy to set up a test store on request, allowing you to experience the system in your own environment. Payment is only required once you decide to keep the installation.
Conclusion
Our SMART Audio System with CONO canto SMART speakers and SUB canto SMART subwoofers is ideal for large multi-level retail spaces that value cohesive design, excellent sound quality, and easy operation. The modular, wireless setup, like in this three-story fashion store, significantly reduces installation time and costs compared to traditional systems.
