Data Sheet
Where is sound masking used? 

Sound masking  is used anywhere speech privacy or speech confidentiality is desired or required and in any work space to reduce distractions and  improve productivity. The most  typical installations are open office plans,  private  offices, and  public  spaces.

• Open Office Plans
Open offices are often  either  too  quiet—hearing the occasional pin drop breaks concentration—or too  noisy, the conversations of co-workers are distracting and  affect productivity. Installing a Qt Quiet  technology™-based sound masking  system  is the first and  most  cost-effective step to improving speech privacy in your open office and  a highly productive open office work environment with fewer distractions. Appropriate ceiling tiles and  higher  cubicle  walls can further contribute to improved open office acoustics, but are often more costly and ineffective by themselves.

• Private Offices
Private offices and  other enclosed spaces, while appearing to provide privacy, often do not. Frequently the walls are of lightweight materials or extend only to the ceiling tiles and not all the way to the ceiling deck. Often these decisions are made for cost reasons and  for flexibility of reconfiguring the office space. Adding  a Qt Quiet  technology system to a private office greatly  improves speech privacy by rendering private  conversations completely unintelligible to listeners  in the adjacent office, hallway or at the water  cooler.

• Public Spaces
Reception areas, pharmacies, waiting rooms, banks  and  public  hallways next to private offices are all great candidates for sound masking  systems. Without  sound masking,  private conversations can be heard in the adjacent public spaces. Installing a Qt Quiet technology sound masking system renders private conversations unintelligible by nearby listeners, ensuring speech privacy. Installing a Qt Quiet technology sound masking system is the most cost-effective way to ensure speech privacy and comply with the speech privacy requirements of HIPAA and  GLBA regulations.

What sounds can provide sound masking and why is one preferable to another? Any sound can mask speech, if it is loud enough. Rain, water  flow, background music, and  HVAC systems and locally controllable sources like radios, “white noise” devices you can buy for $50, or background music all can be used to mask unwanted sound.

However,  as in the light analogy, you can mask the child’s flashlight  with a floodlight or you can raise the light in the room  only to a level where  it simply dims the impact  of the flashlight.  This is how a dedicated sound masking  systems works. The sound produced with a Qt 
Quiet  technology based sound masking system mirrors the spectrum of the human voice. It does not have be loud to be effective.

In addition, Qt Quiet technology based sound masking systems provide a uniform sound throughout the targeted space. Listeners  do not move  in and  out of “hot” spots as they would with an in-plenum system  and  notice  the background sound. The sound, a pleasant, non-repeating “whoosh” blends into the background along with distracting and private conversations.

What is the “best” sound masking system? The best systems are “direct-field” systems. Compared to previous generations of sound masking systems, they are far simpler;  less expensive to install; provide more  uniform, unobtrusive sound in a targeted space; and  don’t  overflow into unintended adjacent spaces.

Cambridge Sound Management’s patented Qt Quiet  technology based systems are direct-  field, a generation ahead of the competing alternative. In a standard office environment, miniature emitters are installed in ceiling tiles and deliver a pleasant, non-distracting, air conditioning-like sound into the targeted space. If your ceiling isn’t “standard,” emitters can be mounted to exposed beams or even embedded in furniture  or other fixtures.
