Qt
Quiet technology™ |
|
 |
 |
|
Behind all Cambridge Sound Management's products is our
patented Qt Quiet technology™, a
low-voltage, distributed audio system that is a generation
ahead in sound masking,
paging and voice distribution. Qt Quiet technology™
overcomes significant design and installation issues with
previous generations
of sound masking
systems. The result is a technology that is flexible, uncomplicated
and effective and can be installed at the lowest cost in
the industry.
The
Sound
 |
| • |
The
sound spectrum
produced by a Qt Quiet technology™-based
system is the ideal sound masking sound as identified
by Leo Beranek. |
 |
| • |
Since
Qt™ Smart emitters
are direct field,
located effectively within the target office area, we
are able to pre-program the right sound
spectrum into the system. We guarantee delivery
of the optimal sound
spectrum to the targeted workspace—no on-site
tuning, re-tuning or programming is necessary. |
 |
| • |
As
can be seen in the graph below, to achieve the same
AI (Articulation Index)
the sound produced by a Qt Quiet technology™-based
system is quieter than the sound produced by a typical
plenum system (even
after extensive tuning). |
 |
| • |
Qt
Quiet technology™ delivers more energy in
the octave bands that
contribute the most to speech privacy (1000Hz, 2000Hz
and 4000Hz) and less energy in the lower frequency bands
(125Hz, 250Hz and 500Hz) that contribute significantly
less to masking speech. The result is a quieter sound
for equivalent speech
privacy. |
 |
 |
The Delivery
 |
| • |
We
achieve superb spatial uniformity by locating miniaturized
Qt™ Smart emitters
with 170 degrees of dispersion on a 10 by 10-foot grid,
assuming a 9-10 foot ceiling. This combination of emitter
density and dispersion assures spatially uniform sound
delivery as the listener hears sound from approximately
6 emitters at any
point in the workspace. |
 |
| • |
A
control module
produces 4 channels of uncorrelated sound and the Qt™
Smart emitters,
with programmed circuitry, automatically sequence through
all four channels assuring extremely pleasant and smooth
sound by eliminating acoustical interference effects.

System Specification, Layout and Installation
 |
| • |
Since
Qt™ Smart emitters
are located directly in the target area, system layout
and installation is simple and straightforward-unlike
with plenum- based
systems no complicated design compensations are needed
for walls that don't extend to the deck, for open HVAC
grills or for other acoustical elements in the associated
plenum. |
 |
| • |
Standard
CAT 3-computer cable
with factory pre-wired plugs snap into the Qt™
Smart emitter pre-wired
with standard RJ-45 plugs. Custom length cables are
easily made on the fly by any installer. |
 |
| • |
Qt™
Smart emitters are
daisy-chained together and creation of separate zones
(open plan or
private office, large or small) is simple. |

The
Qt Quiet technology™ Difference |
 |
 |
 |
The
following objectives guide our design and development
of Qt Quiet technology™
 |
| 1. |
Guarantee
delivery of the most effective and pleasant sound
spectrum possible. |
 |
| 2. |
Make
the background sound as uniform as possible throughout
the coverage area. |
 |
| 3. |
Avoid
acoustical "spill" of the background
sound from open office areas to adjacent private
offices. |
 |
| 4. |
Greatly
simplify the layout and design of masking systems. |
 |
| 5. |
Use
pre-assembled and tested industry standard, inexpensive
data cables and connectors in order to simplify
installation and avoid errors in the field. |
 |
Cambridge Sound Management has created a paradigm shift
in sound masking technology with these guiding principles
in mind. |
