With a good majority of America's workplaces having adopted an open office plan, favoring a labyrinth of cubicles over traditional closed offices, conversational privacy has become an increasingly sensitive issue. A properly designed sound masking system can significantly increase speech privacy and improve the overall work environment.

The new M1000 masking speaker assembly is designed to accurately reproduce the needed spectrum of masking signal into the plenum space. The innovative 712 cubic inch square enclosure ensures ample low frequency response. A specially designed 8" dual cone loudspeaker is included in the package. A high efficiency 70.7V internal transformer is coupled to an external selector switch for easy system tuning. For more precise adjustments, a wide selection of wattage taps ranging from 1/4 watt to 4 watts are provided.

The exclusive Atlas Sound EZ hang brackets simplify installation. This innovative suspension system utilizes (2) collapsible galvanized hangers configured to allow quick upward or side firing installation. The hangers are factory-installed on the unit and fold flat for shipping. To meet most any local code requirement, the M1000 includes an innovative cover containing both knockouts and a strain relief. This system will allow the use of rigid or flexible conduit (if required) and easily accommodates "through" connections on the removable plate. To fit continually shrinking construction budgets, the M1000 is very aggressively priced.

The Atlas Sound MG2500 Noise Masking Processor is a digital pink-noise generator that includes a balanced line-level audio input and a 2-channel DSP processor, all in a single rackspace unit. An extended 'non-apparent' repeat time of noise (200 minutes) and output delay with distance/delay calculation, per channel helps ensure the masking source will not be decoded in high security installations. The MG2500 includes two independent matrices for channel-to-channel mixing and balanced input & outputs on plug-in barrier strip connectors. Noise & audio levels, plus two channels of combined 1⁄3 octave & parametric equalization, EQ, gain management & delay, are adjusted via computer software (Windows 95/98/2000/XP/NT4). Sixteen presets can also be recalled via contact closures, RS-232, or other remote control options. There are no manual controls on front panel, to prevent tampering. All programming software & serial cable included. UL Listed.
