Bogen Communications has announced the introduction of sound masking software for its Nyquist C4000 and Nyquist E7000 IP-based paging systems as well as the new Nyquist suspended ceiling grid sound masking loudspeaker and Nyquist variable firing sound masking loudspeaker.
The sound making functionality is available for Nyquist C4000 version 5.0 or higher and Nyquist E7000 version 8.0 or higher. To operate the sound making system, users install the software license, one (or more) Nyquist Amplifier(s) and dedicated sound masking loudspeakers.
The Nyquist suspended ceiling grid sound masking loudspeaker (NQ-SMS1810-SCG) includes a ceiling grid mount and a sound masking loudspeaker assembly that consists of an 8-inch dual-cone loudspeaker with a 10-ounce magnet and a rotary power tap selector. The NQ-SMS1810-SCG fits on a conventional suspended ceiling grid on top of existing ceiling tiles. Designed for buildings with suspended ceilings and open ceilings, the Nyquist variable firing sound masking loudspeaker (NQ-SMS1810-VF) has an 8-inch dual-cone loudspeaker with a 10-ounce magnet and a rotary tap selector, and itrcan be up-, down- or side-firing, depending on the overall site design.
“Our customers periodically ask for this capability, and RFPs occasionally require sound masking as part of the paging/intercom/public address solution,” says Randall Lee, vice president of marketing and product management for Bogen Communications. “As such, we’re pleased to introduce this new Nyquist offering and establish ourselves in the sound masking market.”
Designed for telecommunications, commercial audio, higher education and other applications, Bogen Communications’ sound masking is designed to obscure indirect conversations to promote speech privacy and minimize distractions for individuals nearby. The new sound masking software supports a virtually unlimited number of zones. Users can design and configure the sound masking system through standard Nyquist C4000 or Nyquist E7000 installations. The software license is permanent, requiring no future license purchases.
