Question Can I pre-record messages so they can be “triggered” in needed situations like weather alerts, etc...?
Answer

Yes, we can generate audible alerts such as tones or even pre-recorded messages that can be activated when certain situations arise (i.e. coded messages, weather and power outages).

Enhanced coverage and additional amplification can help overcome certain areas that have a higher ambient noise level.

Question How many horns/speakers will I need?
Answer

This depends on a few factors: the size of the facility, the mounting height and the ambient noise level that exists in the designated area.

Sound Masking
Question How does sound masking (also known as a speech privacy system) work?
Answer

We introduce white noise into an environment to protect the privacy of conversations. Essentially, these systems reduce what is called “speech intelligibility”. Meaning the conversation can be heard but due to the white noise cannot be understood by surrounding individuals. Therefore, fellow co-workers or visitors are not distracted by the conversation or included in it.
