Sound Masking System Design

Sound masking systems, properly designed and tuned, can reduce distractions and improve speech privacy—particularly in open-plan office environments. By using an array of small loudspeakers and calibrated background noise, sound masking systems help create:

• A more acoustically comfortable, calm, and productive environment.
• A reduction in the intelligibility and perceived loudness of nearby conversations.
• Less unintended eavesdropping.
• Ability for live paging, pre-recorded announcements, and background music functions, if desired.

A successful system should become a subtle part of the acoustic environment rather than a noticeable source of sound. If you would like to experience a calibrated sound masking system firsthand, you are welcome to stop by our office!
