The purpose of mounting the emitters low on the wall is to enable them to fill the office with a background sound that is non-directional so that the occupants hear the same level of sound whether seated or standing and no matter which direction they are facing. The two emitters should be mounted on one wall just above the floor and separated by 6 to 8 feet. Again, the controller should be placed near the primary occupant, on a wall or side of a desk, for instance, so that she can readily adjust the volume to suit current conditions. For offices up to 200 square feet in size, one Sonet Base system should be installed. In this scenario, a base system should be installed in each office so that no occupant can overhear conversations occurring in the office next door. Obviously each confidential conversation needs to be protected from overhearing by a client or employee in an adjoining office. By filling the ears of the listeners with Sonet sound, they will be less able to hear and understand the words being spoken in the adjacent space.Ī common application for Sonet is in a suite of offices used by therapists or business managers. When used as a speech privacy system, Sonet emitters must be installed in the area where the listener is located rather than in the area where the conversation to be protected is occurring. Sonet QT™ can provide an effective speech privacy system for use in clinics and offices where sensitive conversations occurring in one space can be overheard in adjacent spaces and/or hallways.
Sonet QT™ Used as a Speech Privacy System In this way, the Sonet masking sound will do its job of masking irritating sounds while remaining unobtrusive itself. The purpose of mounting the emitters low on the wall is to enable them to fill the office with a background sound that is non-directional so that the occupant hears the same level of sound whether seated or standing and no matter which direction she is facing. Again, the controller should be placed near the occupant, on a wall or side of a desk, for instance, so that she can readily adjust the volume to suit current noise conditions. Sonet can also be used to reduce the distraction of noise coming into an enclosed office. The control module should be mounted on the side of the desk or on a cubicle wall where the sound can be easily adjusted by the occupant to address current noise conditions. Sonet QT™ was originally designed for use in a cubicle space where the two Sonet emitters are installed on the two cube walls so that they project sound directly to both ears, drowning out the sounds coming into the cubicle and enabling the occupant to more easily ignore the surrounding noises and concentrate on his work. Sonet sound is so unobtrusive that after just a few minutes of immersion in the sound field produced by the emitters, the occupant will become unaware of the sound, just as we tune out the hum of flourescent lights or an HVAC system. What this means in practice is that those immersed in a field of sound produced by Sonet will hear much less of surrounding conversations and general office noise, while the Sonet sound disappears into the background. The patented Sonet QT™ sound is engineered to provide maximum interference with the ability to hear and understand human speech at a given volume level. The Sonet QT™ sound is no ordinary white noise. Sonet is also designed to provide speech masking to help protect confidentiality in an office setting by interfering with the occupant's ability to hear and understand conversations that would otherwise be overheard. By masking these disruptive sounds, the employee is better able to concentrate on her work as well as enjoying an overall reduction in noise-induced stress. Sonet QT™ is a noise masking system designed to accomplish two tasks: Sonet is designed to greatly reduce the impact of general noise in the workplace and especially the sound of conversations coming from others in the area.
