Supporters of sophisticated interiors are increasingly choosing household appliances and electronics for reasons of quality and aesthetics. Speaker systems in marble, which look sophisticated and stylish, but are also highly durable, have gained considerable popularity today. For those who appreciate high-quality music and strive to find a new and sought-after direction in business, this type of entrepreneurship such as HI-END acoustics made of marble is ideal .
Marble acoustics: advantages and main features
HI-END speaker systems are distinguished by high sound quality, but besides this, there is another important advantage of such speakers: they are made of high quality marble. This feature gives several advantages to choosing HI-END systems:
- high level of strength and durability of marble;
- good sound quality;
- aesthetic appearance.

The benefit of this area of activity is that it is relatively new, which means it is promising and provides significant advantages. Thus, having proven yourself well in your chosen business, you can take a dominant position in your niche. In particular, HI-END acoustic systems made of marble are mainly presented in the format of online stores. Not all cities have stores selling speaker systems. Taking these nuances into account, by opening a full-fledged retail outlet offering a large selection of speakers made from this material, you can attract a sufficient number of potential customers.
Having decided to engage in sales of HI-END acoustics made of marble, the future entrepreneur must determine for himself a priority in the chosen type of activity. In particular, whether the range offered to customers will be limited only to such goods. In many cases, it makes sense to provide customers with more choice by focusing on HI-END speaker systems.
Traditionally, before starting a business selling HI-END speaker systems, it is worth monitoring the existing market, studying its main features and patterns. All that will interest a novice entrepreneur at the first stage is the number of similar offers in his region, their price categories, as well as a portrait of a potential buyer. As a rule, acoustic systems in marble are chosen by professionals or true connoisseurs of good sound. For most of them, the price issue is not in the foreground; for this reason, it is most important to pay attention to the issue of quality and authenticity of the products offered.

It is with these features in mind that a business plan is drawn up, including the advantages of the future enterprise over its competitors, the main costs and profits pre-calculated by the founder, as well as aspects of the pricing policy.
An important specific feature of the business selling HI-END acoustics made of marble is the fairly high cost of goods, so opening such a store will not be budgetary and will require significant financial investments. There are several ways to solve the issue of start-up costs.
First, an entrepreneur can use his own capital.

Secondly, if it is not enough, you can contact the bank for a loan to start a business. True, credit structures place high demands on potential candidates wishing to receive a loan to start a business. In particular, you need to provide a well-written business plan and prove its prospects. Another option that you can resort to is attracting investments.
It is imperative to create a store website that will allow you to achieve several goals at once: it will allow you to make choices and make purchases online, and will also serve as additional advertising for your new enterprise. It is important that the website provides detailed information about each product; it is also a good idea to have an online consultant who will help the client in choosing.

Stages of creating a business selling speaker systems
Selling speaker systems as a business
After all items of expenses and income have been calculated in the business plan, there are several main stages in opening a store selling HI-END acoustics made of marble:
- choosing premises for setting up a store;
- purchase of goods. It is better to enter into an agreement directly with a trusted manufacturer. The presence of such long-term cooperation will not only reduce the cost of production, but also be confident in the quality of the goods sold;
- registering a business with the tax service;
- selection of employees. You will primarily need sales consultants who are knowledgeable in the chosen topic and have experience in sales;
- carrying out an advertising campaign.
When organizing advertising, it is important to take a comprehensive approach to this issue. Thus, a bright, noticeable sign that will attract new customers will help popularize the new enterprise. Advertising on the Internet is effective, including on specialized websites, as well as in the media.
One of the first stages of establishing an acoustic system store will be the correct choice of the territorial location of the outlet and the selection of suitable premises. As a rule, stores of this profile are located in the central part of the city, where there are the most potential buyers.

Professional acoustics in marble as a business
The area of the store as a whole depends on the quantity and variety of assortment. This can be a large and spacious room of about 50 sq.m., in which display cases and shelves with goods will be freely placed. In this case, a potential buyer will be able to approach each system on sale to evaluate it closely.
If financial capabilities do not allow you to purchase or rent a premises of this scale, you can limit yourself to a modest premises of at least 20 sq.m. and a small warehouse. With proper organization of space, even in a small store you can conveniently place the entire assortment. Renting a minimum room can cost, depending on the level of the city and region, from 15 to 30 thousand rubles. You will have to pay approximately twice as much if you rent a place in a popular shopping center, but in this case the customer traffic increases significantly.
Why do we need vibration isolation slabs for acoustics?
June 25, 2022
The main sources of resonances that affect the quality of sound reproduction are speaker systems and other components containing moving parts, as well as the sound itself, propagating through the air and emanating from speaker systems and other devices that produce sound vibrations.
Try using a medical phonendoscope to listen to the surfaces in your room while the audio system is running. Even at low volume levels, resonances of some frequencies will definitely be heard on window glass, window frames, doors to a room, and even on solid (!) walls.
Today, no one doubts that to unlock the potential of high-end components, an anti-resonance equipment rack is necessary. The same approach works for speaker systems that require anti-resonance isolation. Special vibration isolation plates isolate the speakers from external vibrations, transmitted mainly through the floor and air, and also absorb the residual energy of the sound waves of the speakers themselves.
IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO PUT SPEAKER SYSTEMS AND AUDIO EQUIPMENT ON MARBLE OR GRANITE! These materials completely destroy the timbres of acoustic instruments. On marble, the volumetricity of sound disappears, sound production noises stand out, which create the effect of false detail, large wind sounds of instruments turn into focused small toys. The use of a stone can only be recommended by those audiophiles for whom individual sounds are more understandable, and most importantly, more important than the music itself.
Vibration isolation boards TAOC (Japan)
The effect of TAOC vibration isolation plates is somewhat similar to the acceleration of a car on various road surfaces. When audio equipment or a stand is placed on a carpet, the sound “bogs”, it lacks the so-called instantaneous amplification. This phenomenon is similar to loss of traction on soft ground. At the same time, on a surface that is too smooth (stone, glass, plastic), the sound seems to slip and stall. TAOC vibration isolation boards create a stable basis for musical sound reproduction, free of harmful resonances.
Those who have tested Taoc slabs in their systems say that “thanks to TAOS, the sound has acquired greater unity and musicality, better detail”, “everything is heard unobtrusively, the sound does not change dramatically, but the effect can be described as blissful”, “any of these products compared to the bare floor under the speakers, it increases the realism of the sound by an order of magnitude.”
Vibration-isolating plates for Taoc acoustics are placed directly on the floor, placing a felt flap under them (included in the kit). Speakers are placed on the plates, as well as power amplifiers (for example, if they are very massive and do not fit in a rack), CD players and other electronics.
Taoc vibration isolation boards can be placed in an equipment rack if it is the right size. In this case, it is not necessary to decouple the equipment from the slabs using vibration isolators-spikes. But it is possible if your auditory senses require it.
Design of TAOC vibration isolation boards
The TAOC brand is owned by Aisin Takaoka, part of the Toyota Group. The industrial base of this Japanese concern allows the introduction of the most advanced vibration control technologies into the production of vibration-isolating audio boards.
TAOC vibration isolation boards of the SCB CS series have a five-layer sandwich structure, and TAOC SCB RS plates have a seven-layer structure filled with cast iron powder. A structural layer resembling a hexagonal honeycomb, 7 mm thick, is sandwiched between layers of high-density fiberboard; the upper and lower surfaces of the boards are covered with a special damping material. Solid slabs are designed specifically for decoupling loudspeaker systems and heavy amplifiers from the floor. The thickness of the slabs is 4cm or 5cm, and the width is from 45cm to 65cm.
Hi-End Center has been the exclusive supplier of TAOC vibration isolation boards since 2000. TAOC is a reliable, progressive, time-tested product that will unlock the potential of your audio system and enrich your musical listening experience with new, previously unheard nuances.
