Fusion Research is entering the commercial market with its line of commercially licensed music servers. The addition of the commercially licensed streaming music service, SoundMachine, “allows integrators to affordably place music into their public space projects,” according to Fusion Research.

Fusion music servers can be controlled via a free iOS or Android app or via integration with Crestron, Control4, RTI, Elan, URC, Niles, Speakercraft, Compass Controls and some Savant systems.
Single-source servers with Burr-Brown DACs start at $599 MSRP and multiple source units start at $949 and can be stacked to increase the number of discrete streams available in a project.
This includes the ability to stream multiple discrete licensed music streams in one location.
“For the first time in my career in the commercial hospitality market, I am able to not only provide licensed music to sites, I am finally able to fully integrate this music into our full site control system for an all inclusive and easy to manage experience,” said Joe Whitaker, president of The Thoughtful Restaurant and The Thoughtful Home.
“The RMR that comes with this is a huge bonus to our company.”
SoundMachine “provides a highly-specialized and fully-licensed music platform for business, offering both set stations and custom playlists for companies that require a higher degree of personalization with their music content,” according to the Fusion Research press release.
They rely heavily on custom installers to promote the service, to whom they offer a Partner Program with a recurring monthly revenue incentive.
“The custom integration market is an extremely important growth channel for us”, said Matteo Luppi, CEO of SoundMachine. “Fusion was the perfect partner to help us in this key market. By having our service included in Fusion’s commercially licensed music servers, we are immediately available to be used in most of the leading automation systems.”
Fusion will be attending InfoComm 2018 but will not have their own booth. To set up a meeting with them at the show, email [email protected].
