Music on hold helps you increase retention, reduce churn, and even influence your caller’s attitude with hold music. Go on, get your elevator music jokes out. We’ll wait (and chuckle). We’ve all poked fun at Muzak, but the importance of hold music and its multifaceted nature may surprise you. Seventy percent of business calls go on hold. The main point behind hold music is to signal that the line is still open, but that’s not all it does. You can increase retention, reduce churn, and even influence your caller’s attitude with hold music.
Totally professional in their approach from initial contact to installation. They were not interested in selling us a system but more providing the right product and service for our needs. The support is excellent on the rare occasions there is an issue. Highly recommend.

Our experiences over the years with OnHold Studio and in particular with Tom Harrison have been exceptional. Tom has provided timely communication and assisted us as a business in finding the right set up to meet our growing needs. In addition, Alexia has been fantastic, I can highly recommend their services for those that require it for their business. I really cannot recommend Onhold Studio enough. Brilliant service over the years and better still, very consistent. With best wishes, Glenn.

What sort of genre, tempo, or rhythm best exemplifies your brand? Lyrics or instrumental? Heavy bass or soft tones? Like ringback tones, this music is your caller’s introduction to your company. Make sure it’s on brand. A law firm probably doesn’t want the latest dance floor bass drop. A music agency, on the other hand, might want to feature some of their top artists and latest hits. Don’t take this to mean that traditionally serious industries can’t flex their personality—just acknowledge what’s appropriate in your domain.

Great proffesional company to deal with, asked for two system quotations and had both back next day.Have rang them on a few occasions for technical questions and had answers straight away.Would recommend them, especially Andrew Vaughan.
We strongly recommend that you write short, independent messages, with a musical interludes. The volume of the music should be turned down during narrative messages.
For those still using analogue or digital phone systems, voice on ISDN circuits has a bandwidth of around 4000Hz. The audio from an analogue phone is sampled at 8000Hz, and because of the nyquist theorem, must be low-pass filtered to 4000Hz. So any frequencies in the audio beyond 4000Hz are lost. Interestingly, the human ear and mind are good at recognising human speech, so this is considered "toll-quality" voice, i.e. good enough to pay for. This is the reason why certain vocalised letters are difficult or impossible to tell apart on the phone. For example, the differences between B, P, T, C, etc. are almost entirely above 4000Hz.
