Cambridge unveils active sound masking, paging and music system

Cambridge Sound says the new Qt Active Emitter leverages its direct-field technology to deliver a powerful, all-in-one sound masking, office paging, and background music system for commercial facilities.

Cambridge Sound Management has unveiled a new direct-field sound masking solution that combines high-performance sound masking technology with enhanced paging and music capabilities.

"The new Qt Active Emitter brings power to the barely visible emitter, allowing for louder paging and music playback through the award-winning sound masking system," said the product's press release. "Downward facing from the ceiling, the Qt Active Emitter delivers the most uniform and consistent sound masking performance on the market. Paging and music reproduction is clear and therefore highly intelligible due to the direct distribution of sound into the office space."

"We believe a combined active sound masking, paging and music system delivers on our promise of excellent performance, superior quality, and ease of installation, and will resonate well with our customers and integration partners," commented Christopher Calisi, CEO of Cambridge Sound Management. "Our direct-field technology puts us in a great position to help companies combine audio solutions, and ultimately save money."

The Qt Active Emitter also introduces a wider sound masking frequency range than is standard and enables audio consultants to customize to their specifications. The Qt Active Emitter works with the company's current line-up of Qt 300 and Qt 600 control modules, and new firmware allows for precise control as well as web-based management from any device.

"The simplicity of our QtPro sound masking systems is often cited by our installation partners as a competitive advantage. We developed a custom power supply and power injector to bring more power to the emitter, while allowing us to leverage existing QtPro control modules, cables, and most mounting accessories," says Mitch Nollman, VP of sales for Cambridge Sound. "We're excited to introduce the Qt Active Emitter at InfoComm in Las Vegas this summer."

The new Qt Active Emitter will be available to order in late Q3 2016. You can find more information on the Qt Active Emitter here.
