Steady Brand has integrated its commercially licensed music service with Bluesound Professional, bringing dealer-only business music subscriptions to BluOS-based streamers, streaming amplifiers and networked speakers.
Dealer-only subscription model
The central business distinction of the announcement is that access to Steady Brand’s music within BluOS requires an active subscription supplied by the dealer. Steady Brand says the integration is the first business music service inside BluOS to be sold exclusively through dealers, allowing integrators to include licensed commercial music in proposals while retaining the customer relationship.
"Our dealers are always looking for practical ways to crea
Steady Brand positions the dealer-only model as a way for integrators to capture recurring revenue tied to the installed system rather than directing customers to purchase subscriptions independently. The companies say features and licensing coverage vary by market and plan, and that a subscription is required to use the service through BluOS devices.
Hardware and system scope
The integration links Steady Brand’s licensed business music catalog with BluOS-based Bluesound Professional hardware. The announcement specifically lists:
- Bluesound Professional streamers
- streaming amplifiers
- networked speakers
Those device classes are presented as scalable endpoints for commercial installations that need single- or multi-zone playback and ongoing content management supplied through a dealer-controlled subscription.
Dealer network and commercial terms
Steady Brand says its network includes more than 60 dealers across the U.S. and Canada. The announcement does not disclose subscription pricing, dealer margins or specific plan terms; it states only that service features and licensing vary by market and plan and that availability requires an active dealer-supplied subscription.

The announcement frames the product as a way for integrators to remain the customer’s point of contact and to build ongoing service revenue alongside equipment sales. It also highlights the licensing side of commercial audio, stressing that the integration supplies licensed music appropriate for business environments when the dealer provides the subscription.
No implementation dates, plan pricing, or dealer-margin details were provided in the announcement. Installers evaluating BluOS-based commercial systems should consider subscription licensing and dealer-delivery models when specifying music and background-audio services for clients.
