   Thx for the encouragement!   
      
   It's stimple gain staging.  Whatever is feeding the music(a pc or standalone   
   satellite subscription box) is too hot.  It just needs to be turned down so   
   the corresponding level knob on the main amp/mixer(Aux) can be operated in a   
   useful range.   
      
   Another problem, as mentioned before, are the spots that break in every 10-15   
   minutes "Welcome to our store"  "look for specially marked tags for half off   
   this week".  I don't know if those are fed from a separate source or handled   
   by the same source    
   that pipes in the music.   
      
   I visited our stores in neighboring towns and they all have the music at a   
   much more listenable(but not intrusive) level.   
      
   If I keep mentioning it I know this otherwise quiet, mild-mannered manager   
   will get hissy, so I've given up.
