Sound Masking

Q/ What is Sound Masking

• Can you hear colleagues speaking in adjacent offices - do they wish for you to hear them?
• Can your colleagues in adjacent offices hear you speaking - are you happy with this?

A/ Sound Masking - is the addition of a familiar sounding, unobtrusive background sound to an environment, intended to "cover-up" unwanted conversations.

• Consider the analogy. Imagine being in a darkened room where a flashlight is flickering. The light is noticeable.
• Now imagine that the lights are on. The same flashlight is now unnoticed; it has been masked. This is how Sound Masking works.

The most cost-effective path to improved workplace acoustics is the addition of a Sound Masking system - higher cubicles, rearranging your workspace and building full walls are solutions too but far exceed the cost.

Who need to use Sound Masking

Workplace acoustics are often overlooked. Adding Sound Masking can improve acoustical comfort in just about every environment, but here are some workspaces that benefit the most:

• Cubicles where the conversation of co-workers is distracting and affects productivity.
• Private offices and adjacent public spaces when confidential speech privacy is desired.
• Libraries and other spaces that are often too quiet because of the lack of background noise, even the drop of a pen is distracting.

Our Oasis QT™ Sound Masking is direct field and installed in the workspace. Miniature emitters, or speakers, uniformly disperse a pre-programmed, spectra-appropriate sound through four sequenced channels. The result is a sound far quieter than competing alternatives for the same level of masking speech.
