SCOPE

Plan the complete system

The target spectrum and level must be tuned to the occupied environment. Zoning accounts for open work areas, enclosed rooms, ceiling conditions and transitions so the system supports comfort without becoming a noticeable noise source.

CAPABILITIES

Zone and emitter layout
Controller and distribution infrastructure
Coordination with ceiling and workplace layouts
Progressive tuning and documentation

Define

Review the occupied areas, ceiling conditions, privacy objectives, acoustic boundaries, control zones and compatible system infrastructure.

Install

Install emitters, controllers, cabling and supporting equipment according to the approved zone and ceiling layout.

Verify

Measure and tune levels by zone, verify even coverage, document settings and confirm operation with the occupied-space requirements.

TECHNICAL DETAIL

Sound masking for speech privacy

Sound masking introduces a controlled background sound into a space to reduce the intelligibility of nearby conversations and improve acoustic privacy.

It is commonly used in open offices, private-office areas and other commercial workplaces where speech privacy is important.

Important: Sound masking is not soundproofing. It does not stop sound from travelling between spaces; it reduces how intelligible that sound is to nearby listeners.
