Beware of Myths!

Be Aware of Sound Quality & Performance

Lencore Spectra® Masking Versus Other Systems

The office landscape is littered with sound masking systems that don't function as originally promised. They either don't mask speech according to specifications (the client's or ASTM standards for speech privacy), or, their "sound" is distracting and intrusive. Maybe both!

They defeat the two main functions of a sound masking system:

  1. It must mask speech
  2. It must produce a "comfortable" sound

Don't be swayed by how sophisticated a system looks, or by features that complicate more than contribute to how your system performs and sounds.

Your system of choice should be the one that best meets both criteria.

The Facts Versus the Myths

The side-by-side comparison of systems that follows debunks several of the myths and misunderstandings about the different types of available masking systems, their performance, flexibility and operating costs.

Your local Lencore representative can provide full comparative details, and a demonstration of Spectra's preferred sound.
