SOUND MASKING WITH THE ASD PRIVACY SYSTEM

THE ASD PRIVACY SYSTEM WORKS WITH EXTRACTS FROM SOUNDS OF NATURE

(Patented technology DE 10 2014 107 616 B4)

The ASD PRIVACY SYSTEM uses especially effective masking sounds designed in a sound studio from sounds that occur in nature. They seem familiar to our ears and are screened out more quickly by our brain.

We no longer have a contextual reference point for identifying the sounds, such as rain, crackling fire or an evening breeze. By using a mix of different sound elements to create a harmonious, floating, unobtrusive tapestry of sound, we ensure acoustic well-being and a clear reduction in the level of speech intelligibility in the room.

Conventional sound masking systems use purely synthetic masking noises, such as pink or white noise. Our approach makes the ASD PRIVACY SYSTEM unique in the marketplace.

ASD PRIVACY SYSTEM in detail

When our ASD PRIVACY SYSTEM is installed directly at the workstation, its acoustics can be precisely adjusted to the users’ needs. In addition, it is virtually impossible to localise the sound coming from the devices under the desks. This then creates a very harmonious, natural and even beat in the room, which in turn promotes well-being in the workplace.
