How to Maximize your Sound Masking System Investment

In order to achieve the highest return on investment with sound masking systems, users must be able to quantify the performance and productivity gains of the end result. We estimate that nearly 87% of sound masking systems are not operating to meet optimal performance which leads to distracted workers and improper overheard conversation. This means that nearly nine of ten facilities with sound masking solutions are not realizing maximum potential from their investment. How can you  assure your facilities are reaching maximum effectiveness?

Verification of Performance via ASTM Standards Procedure

Sound masking systems installed by various resources are often times initially adjusted at the time of installation by an installing contractor, systems integrator, furniture dealer or sometimes a factory representative of the sound masking components.  While they are needed local resources for support, many of these entities do not have the key knowledge, specialized training, or proper test equipment to maximize speech privacy for a successful outcome. Instead, such systems are often set to the best of the person's ability and sometimes left to subjectivity (it sounds good enough). As a consumer of sound masking, you are probably unsure of the real benefit or outcome. 

Additionally, over time, system adjustment or interior spaces can change with little readjustment by the original deployment team. This can result in mis adjustment by customer personnel and even further degrade the performance.
