C onfidante, the next generation in s ound mas king and paging for the workplac e. S ound mas king is a s imple concept with remarkable res ults . Imagine a child turning a flas hlight on and off in a dark room. It’s highly dis tracting. Turn the lights on and the flicking flas hlight is no longer noticeable. S ound mas king works the s ame way. Where a s ingle voice may be dis tracting in a quiet s pace, that voice is no longer noticeable when the background nois e level is increas ed s lightly. C onfidante projects into the workplace a pleas ant, airflow-type s ound that mirrors the s pectrum of the human voice. The system renders conversations unintelligible to the casual listener, creating privacy for the talker and a non-distracting, productive workplace for everyone els e! C onfidante is a retrofittable, low-voltage distributed audio system that uses Qt Quiet technology™ to deliver a comfortable, evenly-dis tributed ambient s ound into a works pace. T his direct-field s ys tem is far s impler than other s ound mas king s ys tems on the market. Ins tallation is s traightforward and requires no tuning – jus t plug and play! C onfidante’s nextgeneration technology is an ideal s olution to privacy and dis traction is s ues in both private offices and open plan. T his s ys tem is flexible for ins tallation in large and s mall offices acros s all indus tries . T he network of C onfidante s peakers can als o be us ed to trans mit paging and mus ic s ignals throughout the office, preventing the need to ins tall a s eparate s ys tem!
