Some employees may find these situations more distracting than others. Cambridge Sound Management's newest device, the Sonet Qt, proposes to treat these problems on an individual basis, using spot acoustical treatment. The device seems to be appropriate for situations in which one particular individual is having difficulty with acoustics, rather than as a broad spectrum, facility-wide treatment.<br /><br />Synopsis of <a href="http://www.buildings.com/Articles/detailBuildings.asp?ArticleID=3595">product review</a> of the Sonet Qt in <em>Buildings</em> magazine:<br /><br />"It's ideal for 'spot treatment' in situations where one individual is distracted by voices, outside traffic, or other noises... [The] Sonet Qt is not a facility-wide system. Instead, it provides soundmasking on an as-needed basis to a select number of individuals who may want (or need) it."Laura Hollandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06003464455721588031noreply@blogger.com
