What is the best way to install a white or pink noise sound masking system?

Today’s technology allows for many variations in the configuration of a sound masking system.
Whether there is a centralized system or addressable network.
What is the best way to add paging or music to the system?
Each of these options has benefits that Margenau Associates, Inc. can evaluate with you to design/build the most cost effective system with the highest performance characteristics.

Sound masking systems for below Access Floors

With access floors increasing in popularity, the option of installing a high performance sound masking system below the floor is becoming common place. This speaker is specifically suited for use in access floors as shallow as 1 3/4 inches.

Sound masking systems for above Suspended Ceilings

Sound masking speakers have traditionally been installed above suspended ceilings, aimed upward to increase the spatial uniformity of the sound. The laws of physics have not changed. Plenum mounted systems remain the best option for most installations.

Sound masking systems for Open Structure Offices (having no Suspended Ceiling)

Open structure facilities are those office environments having no suspended acoustical ceiling. Given a tall enough structural height, these environments can perform well acoustically if the proper sound masking system is used.
