The Oasis Qt™ sound masking system with Qt Quiet technology™

Qt Quiet technology™ sound masking and distributed audio systems from Cambridge Sound Management are a generation ahead™ of others in the marketplace.

The low-voltage Oasis Qt™ system uses a single control module and a daisy-chained network of miniature speakers installed in the workspace to project direct-field sound masking, paging and music.


  • The Oasis Qt™ system is direct-field, easy to install (just plug & play!) and – unlike competitive systems – requires no post-installation tuning.

  • Miniature emitters project a pleasant, air conditioning-like sound to “mask” other sounds in the workplace

  • The unobtrusive, airflow-like sound is pre-programmed to match the frequency spectrum of the human voice – for optimal masking of speech.

  • This system is ideal for reducing distractions and improving productivity in open-plan workspaces and ensuring confidential speech privacy in private offices.

  • An optional (and inexpensive) paging and music module works with existing sound masking speakers and eliminates the need for a separate paging/music system.

  • Ceiling tile installation is most common, but the flexible design that adapts to virtually all workspace types.

  • RoHS compliance, GreenSpec® certification and low-power usage make this an ideal product for “Green” building.

  • Each control modules uses an average of 7 watts of power – similar to power consumption of an Exit sign. The system is designed for uninterrupted, 24/7 use.

Sample Qt Quiet technology™ installations

Bank of America National Helpline Call Center – Boston, MA

38,000 square feet of renovated open office plan workspace with low (42") cubicle partitions, no interior walls and domes fashioned to look like skylights. Qt Quiet technology™ sound masking creates a comfortable, highly productive work environment.

“The Bank of America National Helpline site in Boston houses over 200 associates. Even with all that talking, our work environment is private and productive, thanks to sound masking from Cambridge Sound Management. Their solution is straightforward and effective. I wouldn't open a call center without it."
Edward Klemm, Vice President, National Helpline, Bank of America


Williams College Schow Science Library – Williamstown, MA

Three-story ceilings, brick walls, no ceiling tiles and so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The slightest noise was distracting. Even the most basic sound of a book closing was a distraction. The Oasis Qt™ sound masking system raised the ambient background noise level to create a more pleasant acoustical environment.

“Our library was so acoustically lively, the students were shushing the librarians! Now, our space is as appealing functionally as it is visually.”
David M. Pilachowski, College Librarian, Williams College


Monster.com Office – Maynard, MA

Monster.com’s office is in a unique, 100-year old former mill building consisting of exposed brick, wooden beams and many large windows. These highly sound-reflective elements combined with 15-foot ceilings created an acoustical challenge. The Oasis Qt™ sound masking system eliminated reverberations within the space and created a comfortable, highly-productive work environment.

“Because we designed an open plan for seating, it was imperative we came up with a solution to the noise issue,” says Joanne Katz, Director of Facilities at Monster. “Cambridge Sound Management’s Oasis Qt™ system was a life saver. We forget the system is even there until it’s accidentally turned off – then employees are asking why they can suddenly hear what is going on five desks away!”
