Achieve Sound Quality & Speech Privacy
The two most important criteria for sound masking
The need for sound masking has never been greater. With federal mandates like HIPAA and GLBA setting required benchmarks for privacy and with specific AIA guidelines addressing LEED and acoustics becoming code in 2010 - designing spaces that provide sound control and speech privacy will be critical to the success of your projects.
As acousticians and engineers, you already understand the need for sound masking. And, you know better than most how sound is produced and how it must perform in a space.
At the end of the day, the real key to effective sound masking is consistency and uniformity of proper sound levels throughout the space (temporal and spatial uniformity). To truly achieve speech privacy in an unobtrusive way:
- The sound that reaches the occupants' ears must be within the preferred acoustical curve at the right decibel level, within very tight tolerances and
- Multiple, tunable masking noise sources must be present in the system to create a sound that can address the variables within a space, without phasing.
These are pluses for Lencore, because no other masking system performs as well in providing a comfortable sound that at the same time maintains speech privacy throughout the entire space. Lencore systems' variances are held to +/- 1/2 dB — far tighter than the +/- 3 to 5 dB of other systems.
With four types of systems, Lencore provides more options for you to address your clients' unique needs.
Our Spectra i.Net® - Networked Sound Masking,& Music & Paging System - provides full third band octave EQ and parameteric EQ controls making customizing sound easier - onsite, off-site or around the world.
