An introduction to Waved & how to use the Home screen.

The Home screen gives an overview of your venue. This is the most used section of the app to control real-time volume adjustments and view the ambient levels at your venue. Here you can adjust the vibe scale, check automatic volume adjustments, mute, unmute or switch sources in any given zone.

Primary Controls

The sections below explain the function of primary controls in the Home View:

Zones

Each line of the Home view represents a separate sound Zone, with the name of each Zone listed along the left side of the screen.

Automatic Volume

Waved smart sensors capture the sound picture of a room and every 5 seconds calculates how the music volume of each Zone should adjust, if necessary.

When Waved Automation is on and the W logo button is green, Waved will adjust to find the perfect ambience, as guest noise levels increase and decrease throughout service. Allowing you to focus on your guests' experience and manage your team.

Vibing

Adjust the balance between guest noise and music using the Vibe slider, the Waved system will continuously track and adjust the volume based on guest activity.

By Vibing you're able to choose how dominant either the sound of people or music volume should be. A more intelligent and intuitive a volume slider, vibing allows the Waved system to automatically adjust the sound system, within pre-set calibration points, which are chosen to suit your concept, guest profile and location.

Vibe down for opening or a calmer breakfast service and vibe up to create more atmosphere or party vibes into the evenings and weekends.

People, Music & Vibe

  1. Choose which Zone you'd like to adjust the Vibe up or down.

  2. Press either People or Music buttons or move the green slider, as desired.

  3. Give the system time to read the room and react to the crowd per Zone.

  4. The music volume will adjust according to the changing levels of guest noise.

Manual Volume

Switching Waved Automation and the green W logo button Off will change the vibe slider to a traditional volume bar, either for the whole venue or an individual zone. This allows you to override the automatic volume of a particular zone if necessary or adjust zones manually, particularly when a DJ is playing.

Zones without automation or sensors such as entrances, stairways and toilets will only appear with a volume bar and are adjusted manually.

Muting & Unmuting

The Mute and Unmute button indicates whether a zone has been muted or unmuted, either for the whole venue or an individual zone. You are also able to set automatic muting schedules in Settings, to be sure music is unmuted before service and muted again after closing.

Particularly helpful if you want to guarantee outside zones stop playing music at a fixed time each day and avoid upsetting any neighbours.

Changing Source

Left of the Zone name is the Source button. This will appear if you have multiple sources available, either in a selected Zone or the whole Venue. By pressing Source, a Select Source pop-up box will appear, showing available sources and the currently selected Source highlighted in green.

Here you can easily and remotely switch between different music sources, such as Soundtrack Your Brand and Live DJ, with a few simple clicks.

Secondary Features

The sections below explain the purpose of other features in the Home View:

Volume %

Right of the Zone name is the Volume % for each respective Zone. By clicking the Volume %, a Zone Volume pop-up box will appear, showing the Waved Comparable Volume in green and the absolute System Volume of your sound system in white.

The Comparable Volume allows clearer overview of sound levels in your venue and its value is set during installation or fine tuned later as necessary to determine the venues standard volume range.

Live Data

Clicking the preview graph allows you to view real-time sound data at your venue. Here you're able to track music %, guest ambience and total measured dB levels of the days activity over the last 15 minutes, 4 hours or 24 hours.

This helps anticipate guest activity during service, look back at the last days activity and plan accordingly.
