The leading manufacturer of sound masking & paging system with complete acoustical solutions

Bridgeport Platform (BP)

Model BP1

Bridgeport Platform (BP)
The BP is UL listed for use in air-handling spaces.

When a direct field speaker or system is required due to site conditions or application need, the Lencore Crossways™ system provides the highest level of sound quality and adjustability. With its higher quality construction, Crossways™ offers a refreshing, commercial grade alternative to the retail quality products other competitive systems have offered previously.

Tunable by hand-held remote and available in small and larger speaker sizes. Crossways™ offers wider sound dispersion, and better sound uniformity and greater sound quality.

Multiple random sound masking sources, coupled with Lencore’s E-Sound™ technology provide capabilities for:

  • Masking Adjustments: 96 in ½ dB steps
  • Contour Adjustments: 29 steps

Installation is simplified using plug and play Cat 5e cable with standard RJ12 connections. The Crossways™ speakers are equipped with dog ear screw adjustments and/or a locator pin to insure a smooth installation.

Sound Source: The BP
The sounds of the Lencore Crossways™ Direct Field System are created in the BP (Bridgeport Platform), the primary sound source that produces, equalizes and distributes the sound for masking, music and paging. Each BP includes:

  • Multiple random sound masking sources, coupled with Lencore’s E-sound™ technology, produces an exceptionally comfortable environment.
  • Sound frequency and contour control that can be adjusted by hand held remote. Crossways™ provides over 96 attenuation positions and 29 contour positions with ½ dB steps. This makes the Lencore Crossways™ System your best bet when choosing a direct-field system.

Extreme Flexibility:
Multiple sound sources and channels let you customize and tune for masking, paging and music.

  • System must meet ASTM 1130-02, ASTM E1573-02, ASTM E 1374-93, and ASTM E 1041-85 standards.
  • The Sound Masking system must use a unique integrated sound masking, music and paging system that uses infrared remote controls.
  • Volume increments for paging and music MUST be in ½ dB steps never to exceed more than 1dB steps as measured 1m from the speaker.
  • The sound masking source must produce 20Hz through 20,000Hz.
  • The masking must be random.
  • The masking volume shall be adjustable via digital means for ½ dB steps for a range of 30-78 dBA as measured 1m from the center of the speaker.
  • Sound masking system must be able to provide muting capabilities.
  • Spatial uniformity of sound must be no more than ±½ dBA.
  • In open areas and larger enclosed spaces, the overall sound level produced should have spatial uniformity of no more than ±½ dB between any two sound generating units.
  • System must provide two sizes of speaker: 4 ½" and 8".
  • 4 ½" speaker housing must be produced from recycled ABS material. 8" speaker housings/enclosures must be damped to avoid undesirable resonance.
  • System shall be designed so that individual speaker or component failure will have no impact on the balance of the system
