LAN Systems Partners with Cambridge Sound Management

LAN Systems has partnered with Cambridge Sound Management to offer the latest technology in sound masking.

Berkeley Lake, GA (USA), March 26th, 2015 — LAN Systems has partnered with Cambridge Sound Management to offer the latest technology in sound masking. The patented Cambridge system is a leader is sound masking technology for speech privacy and workforce productivity solutions.

The system provides sound masking for open office spaces, private offices and public spaces where speech privacy or speech confidentiality is desired or required and in any workspace to reduce distractions and improve productivity. Speech privacy or speech confidentiality is desired or required and in any workspace to reduce distractions and improve productivity.

“Cambridge Sound Management is the gold standard for sound management,” said Hester. “We are delighted to partner with them to offer this great technology for the modern workplace.”

The Cambridge sound masking system can help organizations achieve LEED Certification. The Indoor Environmental Quality category – to increase daylight and outdoor views – requires organizations to use lower partitions between work stations, large windows and more open floor plans. These design requirements can create a decline in the acoustic quality of the workspace, increasing distractions and reducing productivity. Additionally, the Cambridge system is the most energy efficient sound masking system available today, using less than 10% of the power of any other system.

Traditional sound masking systems, created in the early 1950s, use speakers the size of paint cans and require significant post-installation commissioning. Still on the market, these outdated systems were not designed for today’s modern facilities. Cambridge was founded in 1999 in Cambridge, Massachusetts by an MIT PhD with a distinguished heritage in the field of acoustics and audio engineering. Developing proprietary technology based on research and development in acoustics, science, architecture, and facility design, Cambridge Sound Management launched its first commercial sound masking solution in 2001 and continues to pioneer the next generation of sound masking solutions.
