When a client starts planning for a sound masking system, they are usually focused on reducing distractions and improving speech privacy. But if you are already investing in a system that reaches every corner of your space, why stop there? With a small addition, your sound masking network can also deliver clear, reliable paging and background music.
Sound masking introduces a subtle, engineered background sound that helps make workplaces more comfortable, private, and productive. It is the perfect solution for open offices, healthcare environments, and corporate spaces where noise travels too easily.
Many of these spaces also rely on paging systems for everyday announcements, emergency alerts, or background music. Installing a standalone paging system means separate wiring, infrastructure, and maintenance. That is why it makes sense to add paging capabilities directly to your masking system.
Three Systems in One: A Smarter Office Paging System for Team Communication
Lencore offers two Music-Page Interface (MPI) units that can turn your sound masking system into a fully functional paging and audio system: the G1505 MPI (1 RU Rack Mount) and the G505 MPI (single wall-mounted unit).
G1505 MPI: Central Control for Integrated Office Paging and Audio
- Provides a single audio source for both sound masking and paging.
- Installs in a standard 1 RU rack for easy integration with networked systems.
- Offers built-in doorbells and break tones. WAV files can be personalized.
- Supports flexible zoning, background music, and pre-recorded announcements.
- Uses existing cabling and speakers, eliminating the need for additional amplifiers.
G505 MPI: Compact Solution for Flexible Office Communication Systems
- Offers a compact, wall-mounted option for smaller installations or localized paging.
- Adds paging and background music to an existing masking system.
- Can cover multiple zones with simple configuration.
Provides the same unified control as the G1505 for easy system management.
Both units allow you to upgrade your sound masking system without adding complexity or separate infrastructure. With one small piece of equipment, you are effectively getting three systems in one.
Ideal for Any Workplace: Scalable Communication Tools for Successful Businesses
Adding paging to your sound masking system makes sense in many types of facilities:
- Corporate offices that need both speech privacy and reliable announcements.
- Healthcare facilities that require clear communication and privacy compliance.
- Educational and government spaces where announcements must be heard but noise must be controlled.
Planning for both systems from the start saves installation time, reduces costs, and creates a more functional acoustic environment.
The Smarter, Integrated Approach to Office Communication with Paging and Sound Masking
If your project already includes sound masking, it makes sense to incorporate paging and background audio at the same time. Lencore’s G1505 MPI and G505 MPI deliver all three – sound masking, paging, and music – through a single, easy-to-manage platform.
