Sound Masking Project

completed

The project consists of the installation of a Sound Masking System (the Project) at the Public Library located in Orillia, Ontario. The purpose of the project is to reduce the noise level in the quiet zone to allow for study, research, and reflection, allow for acoustic comfort, and increase accessibility of the space for all users. The sound masking will cover an area approximately 12,000 square feet. The Library will be installing a networked-decentralized sound masking system. The installation will include twenty-two local control zones; one distributed primary networked masking control device, fifty-seven distributed secondary masking devices and loudspeakers, one control panel component, computer software, thirty-five cable assemblies; audio input modules, ceiling mount adapters, two power supplies. The space is open and available for use for anyone who visits the Library. The surrounding communities will see the greatest benefit.
