Sound Masking for Corporate Environments The Essentials and The Benefits of Controlled Noise - MCC’s Audio Visual Solutions Division

Sound masking increases speech confidentiality and bolsters efficiency with distraction reduction.

With open office plans, private offices and public spaces, keeping a distraction-free environment that is conducive to productivity as well as speech privacy, is not always possible, depending on the amount of reflective surfaces in your space. Dealing with uncontrollable sound, or pitch silence, is paramount for encouraging a work environment that is safe and efficient.

Sound masking is one of the best options for encouraging speech privacy and keeping an office environment distraction free. Sound masking specifically refers to the use of environmental white noise to enhance speech confidentiality and the mitigation of other distracting sounds.

Ideal for environments that are classified as open office plans, private offices and public spaces, sound masking works with the floor plan of your facility to make good on the promise of confidentiality and distraction reduction.

Good sound masking strategies offer consistent, controlled distribution of white noise to ensure that the result is both subtle and efficient. Consistency also ensures that sound challenges attributed to low ceilings and open spaces in-pelum (the space between the ceiling tiles and the structural limit of the ceiling) are dealt with successfully. The best option for accomplishing consistent sound masking throughout is known as a “direct-field” system.

Direct-field systems create a literal field of noise throughout a space. Integrated miniature emitters that are installed directly in to the ceiling tiles of a target space control the masked field. Technicians can control these sound emitters to ensure that sound is evenly distributed and the sound dispersion works naturally within the space.

“Direct field sound masking results in a much more uniform sound dispersion than solutions that are installed above the false ceiling (the plenum). Direct field solutions are also more cost-effective because installation is much easier than with plenum solutions,” says Bernie Buelow, director of Marketing for Cambridge Sound Management.

Sound masking is also ideal for addressing HIPAA and GLBA regulations regarding speech privacy and sound control in work environments. For example, in medical environments, where patient record confidentiality is regulated, managing confidential speech intelligibility is enforced. With sound masking, protecting patients is made possible by reducing sound dispersion from private offices and other confidential clinical spaces.

Applying sound masking to your space is a great way to manage your environment. Plus, with low energy systems, adding this technology to your space is advantageous for LEED certification and establishing your space as a green environment focused on productivity and teamwork.

Technology for Safer Schools – Memphis Communications Corporation

Employing technology to make our world safer has become as ingrained in our society as using a car or the subway to commute to work. One area where that evolution has been particularly dramatic of late is in schools, where myriad incidents over the past two decades continue to demonstrate the growing need for security technology as a crucial tool in school officials’ arsenal against crime and violence in the school setting.

These technological tools are deployed in schools thanks in part to projects such as Safe Schools, Healthy Students, a federal government initiative designed to bring together the efforts of school officials, law enforcement and community leaders. Through these programs and federal grants — more than $2.1 billion awarded in the last decade — schools of varying sizes, geographies and socio-economic statuses have implemented a host of different methods to mitigate threats from both inside the school building and out. As part of the awareness brought about by these programs, schools have been investing in security technology in growing numbers, and manufacturers in the security industry have been responding with tailor-made solutions to meet the specific requirements and limited budgets of this market.

One of the most visible signs of security measures in schools is the surveillance camera network, which gives school administrators eyes and ears on multiple areas of the school building, from the crowded hallways and cafeteria to remote areas of the parking lot. These camera networks are often the first pieces of technology to be installed, and provide school staff instant access to video of normal daily operations as well as incidents unfolding for prompt response. Video recording technology also aids in the investigation and adjudication of incidents, whether a fight in the parking lot after school dismissal, the theft of an iPad from a locker, or an argument between student and staff member.

Outside of the traditional security-related tasks assigned to the surveillance system, cameras in schools can also aid in more operational related ways. For example, are unauthorized students using the elevator at the end of the hall, normally reserved for disabled students and visitors? During evening and weekend sporting events, are there enough ticket windows open in the pre-game hours to handle the crowds?

Other security technologies are also being packaged to better fit the school environment. Access control and intrusion systems that protect the building’s perimeter from unauthorized visitors, along with visitor management systems that track and control visitors can all be coupled with video surveillance to create a more robust security system at a lower price point. For example, a camera in the front office can show the face of the person who signed out a student on Tuesday afternoon as Mrs. Jones. Or a door forced open alarm from the access control system can send a video clip to police dispatch, which sends it along to the laptop in the closest patrol car.

Programs like Safe Schools, Healthy Students and other such initiatives are making a positive impact in educational institutions around the country, both in enabling safer environments as well as raising awareness of the need and effectiveness of technology as a tool. As a leading security manufacturer, Tyco Security Products is proud of its commitment to providing cost-effective and technology focused solutions that support the education market’s efforts to provide great school security.
