The RL96 controller delivers a whole new level of acoustic performance in a sleek 1U compact footprint. Specially tailored to office spaces above 5000 square feet, the RL96 has 8 output channels capable of powering up to 12 speakers each, for a total of 96 speakers. Each channel has its own independent equalizer making it possible to control eight separate masking zones independently from one another.

The RLCTL2 is essentially a RL96 controller pairable with an external power amplifier. Given enough power, the RLCTL2 can drive up to 75 speakers per channel. That’s a total of 600 speakers managed by a single controller unit.

The SMS-CTP is a sleek, wall-mounted control panel that makes it easy to adjust the sound masking and ambient music volume in individual office zones through a user-friendly, 7-inch touchscreen interface.

Our sound masking system is the only one capable of automatically adjusting the masking volume based on the room’s noise level which fluctuates unpredictably throughout the day. Installed in the office ceiling, our sensors mesure the room`s noise levels in real-time and, thanks to our advanced signal processing technology, enable our controllers to automatically adjust the sound masking volume based on the average intensity of conversations and other noisy distractions happening across the room.

The SMS-STR is a specially designed upward-firing speaker that shoots sound to bounce off the ceiling, resulting in a smooth, diffuse ambient sound layer that drapes the entire room seamlessly. It’s typically used in open ceiling designs but it`s equally as effective when hidden in the plenum space, suspended between the acoustical tiles and the deck. Its great flexibility and superior acoustic performance make this speaker the top choice in most sound masking projects.

Powered by our smart multizone controllers on 25V constant voltage lines, the SMS-STX speaker sets a whole new efficiency standard in open ceiling and plenum-based sound masking system installations. It delivers the very same unrivaled acoustic performance and sound masking uniformity as the SMS-STR speaker, but in a significantly smaller footprint—almost 40% smaller and 35% lighter than regular up-firing sound masking speakers.

The SMS-SURF4 is a compact sound masking speaker designed to be flush-mounted on ceiling tiles or drywall ceilings. It’s best suited for offices with limited plenum space, or when ensuring superior paging/background music loudness and clarity through drywall or suspended gypsum-board ceilings is important. SMS-SURF4 speakers can be powered by a 25V/70V constant voltage amplifier and daisy chained to achieve very large office sound masking/paging installations at very low costs.
