Energy Efficiency
Lencore Spectra® Sound Masking by Lencore Acoustics Corp.
The right sound masking system can turn an unproductive and distracting office space into a more efficient and "quiet" environment. By gently raising the background sound level, the Lencore Spectra Sound Masking system "masks" extraneous conversations from nearby workstations and creates office environments that provide speech privacy, reduce stress, and increase productivity. Installed in the plenum, the system can be customized to areas as small as 225 square feet; maintenance-free, it comes with a 20+-year life expectancy. Low-voltage system is energy efficient and cost effective to operate. Lencore Spectra Sound Masking by Lencore Acoustics Corp.
