Sonet: White Noise
Mastery From Cambridge Sound Management
For Home and Office
Sonet APS In The Home
In your bedroom, the Sonet Sound will help you relax and get to
sleep faster and sleep more deeply through the night for the invigorating,
renewing kind of sleep so many of us find difficult to get at the end of our
hectic, noisy days.
In your living spaces, the Sonet Sound will help to mask the
little irritating sounds that seep through your walls and windows from the
neighbors, from the street and from the activities of others in your home that
disturb your peace and quiet. When bathed in the soothing Sonet Sound, you will
find you can relax more and concentrate better, whether you are studying,
napping, reading or working. The Sonet Sound is especially designed to mask the
sound of human voices, but the Sonet Sound will help to take the edge off
all the other irritating sounds in your environment as well.
For a typical bedroom, den or living room up to about 12' x 14',
we recommend one Sonet APS Base System which provides you with one controller,
two emitter speakers, and all the cables and mounting hardware you will need.
For larger rooms, up to about 14' x 24', we recommend one Sonet APS 4-Emitter
Pack which contains one controller, 4 emitter speakers, and all the necessary
accessories. For larger rooms, just add more Sonet APS Base Systems or 4-Emitter
Packs as needed. Installation is simple and quick, requiring no tools. Just mount the emitter speakers and the controller on the wall using the
adhesive backed velcro
fasteners provided, plug in the cables and the power supply and adjust the
volume. Sonet consumes a negligible amount of power, and the sound is so nice
that most users simply leave their Sonets on all of the time.
Emitter speakers can be mounted in any convenient place: On the
wall behind the bed, under end tables, near the ceiling, or near the baseboard.
As long as the emitter speakers are free to project their Sonet Sound into the
room, and the emitters are at least 6' apart, most any location will do. The
ideal goal is to fill the room with a non-directional blanket of
Sonet Sound.
What You Can Expect From Sonet
When properly installed, Sonet should mask 75-90% of all the
sounds you now can hear that are below the volume of normal human speech. Very
loud snoring or other sounds that are above the normal volume of human speech
will not be masked to any appreciable degree. While 75% may be less than
the total elimination of noise you may be seeking, most people who enjoy that
level of noise masking will tell you it makes their lives a whole lot better. If
you have not yet tried an ambient noise masking device such as a fan, a white
noise machine or a white noise CD, we highly recommend that you give Sonet a
chance. This is a great piece of equipment at a reasonable price, and it does
not require that you wear anything, leaving you free to comfortably exist in
your space.
You can get rid of more noise than Sonet can mask, but to get to
that level will require that you wear some kind of ear plugs which are not
needed with the Sonet APS. Under the best conditions ear plugs can eliminate up
to 95% of all the sounds you can now hear, but most users tell us they do not
experience anywhere near that level of relief.
If you need relief from sounds that are louder than normal human
speech, Sonet will not work. For that kind of challenging noise situation, the
only solution we know of is our
Personal Isolation System.
Sonet APS In The Office
When using Sonet to mask noise that is irritating you, install
Sonet inside the room or cubicle you occupy. When using Sonet for speech
privacy, install Sonet in the location where the listeners who may overhear your
conversations will be. For example, to protect your confidential conversations
from being overheard by people in the hallway outside your office, install the
Sonet emitter speakers in the hallway.
For a typical office, counseling room or patient exam room up to
about 12' x 14', and for a single cubicle workstation, we recommend one Sonet
APS Base System which provides you with one controller, two emitter speakers,
and all the cables and mounting hardware you will need. For larger rooms, up to
about 14' x 24', we recommend one Sonet APS 4-Emitter Pack which contains one
controller, 4 emitter speakers, and all the necessary accessories. For larger
rooms, just add more Sonet APS Base Systems or 4-Emitter Packs as needed. For
additional cubicle workstations, you will need a separate Sonet APS Base System
for each workstation.
Installation is simple and quick, requiring no tools. Mount the emitter speakers and the controller on the wall using the velcro
fasteners provided, plug in the cables and the power supply and adjust the
volume. Sonet consumes a negligible amount of power and the sound is so nice
that most users simply leave their Sonets on all of the time.
In office applications, emitter speakers can be mounted in any
convenient place: On the wall near the ceiling, under end tables, or near the
baseboard. As long as the emitter speakers are free to project their Sonet Sound
into the room, and the emitters are at least 6' apart, most any location will
do. The ideal goal is to fill the room with a uniform blanket of sound so that
occupants are immersed the Sonet Sound no matter which way they are facing, and whether seated or standing.
For cubicle workstations, emitter speakers must be installed on
a wall facing the occupant, and aimed at the occupant's ears. The goal in a
cubicle workstation is to create a personal privacy field within which the Sonet
Sound will mask most all of the ambient noise the user would otherwise hear.
Because in a cubicle there are no walls to contain the sound, the emitters must
be positioned so that they project the Sonet Sound directly into the ears of the
occupant.
When treating hallways, we recommend that you install Sonet on
the wall near the ceiling so that the connecting wires can easily be hidden
above the drop tile ceiling. Space emitter speakers 8'-10' apart down the length
of the hallway. One Sonet APS will treat 20'-30' of hallway, and one
Sonet APS
4-Emitter Pack will treat 40'-60' of hallway.
