The PTS-SMBGM1 is a high-performance, wide dispersion ceiling tile speaker. It offers the best sound masking and background music quality of any sound technology on the market. The sound masking is an ambient sound, similar to the sound of airflow, that’s engineered to the frequency of human speech to target potential conversational distractions. The sound is hardly noticeable and will blend into the environment of any workspace. Adding the sound to a workspace will actually make the space quieter by reducing the clarity of human speech. The PTS-SMBGM1 will make a building quieter through raising the ambient background noise level. This makes speech noise harder to hear and understand, therefore less distracting. Overall, the PTS-SMBGM1 will increase focus and productivity, as well as protecting private conversations. The PTS-SMBGM1 is very easy to mount in the standard commercial drop-tile ceilings. With optional mounting brackets, it can also be suspended in open ceiling spaces. This high-performance speaker is well suited for hotel kiosks, restaurants, theme parks, museums, art galleries, collaborative learning spaces or department store digital signage for an audience of a few in a very controlled sound dispersion zone.
