Cambridge Sound Management has announced Qt Conference Room Edition in a bid to protect speech privacy of confidential or sensitive conversations.
The system consists of a control module, two lighted privacy status signs, and a series of direct-field sound masking emitters.
When the control module inside the conference room is turned on, it powers the sound masking emitters placed in the ceiling just outside of the conference room. The emitters add a low-level background sound that makes human speech less intelligible. Lighted privacy signs inside and outside of the conference room indicate when the system is running, and let conference room occupants know that their conversations are being protected.
