Yamaha Unified Communications has announced that its new VSP-2 speech privacy system, designed to help ensure confidential coversations via user-selectable sound types and volume levels delivered to two, four or eight loudspeakers, is available for immediate shipping to the United States and Canada.
“As more employees return to the office, there is a greater need to mask private conversations in public spaces, but it can’t come at a cost to those working nearby,” says Holger Stoltze, senior director of technical sales and marketing at Yamaha UC. “We approached the increasing need for speech privacy differently. The VSP-2 produces masking audio that’s comfortable and private with 65 percent better performance at much lower sound levels, and it can be installed without hours spent working behind walls or in the plenum. This system is in stock and shipping.”
The VSP-2 system is designed to prevent information leakage without emitting distracting sound-masking audio via three features: info-masking technology intended to mask the human voice in unwanted areas with a sound level that’s stated to be 8 dB lower than conventional systems; environmental audio with four audio options that is mixed to the speech sound masker; and four types of sound effects that are added to distract others from hearing private conversations.
The control unit allows users to power the system on and off, select their preferred sound effect (guitar, piano, music box, or digital device) and environmental sound (forest, brook, urban clatter, or air conditioner), and set the performance and volume level for a more personalized room environment.
The system can be installed around huddle spaces, in open conversation areas, and in front of and between small to medium rooms. For installation, the lightweight loudspeakers are mounted to the ceiling or wall with the included hardware and cable (non-plenum rated). The back of the control unit offers a loudspeaker switch (2, 4, or 8) and four EQ options based on the configuration of the loudspeakers.
