The Atlas Sound LP M1000R 8" Masking Speaker is a low-profile, high-quality speaker designed specifically for use in professional sound masking systems. Sound masking involves introducing low-level, unobtrusive background sound to cover up distracting noises (like office chatter) in open-plan offices, healthcare facilities, and commercial environments, thereby increasing speech privacy and productivity. This speaker is engineered with an 8-inch driver within a compact enclosure that meets low-profile ceiling installation requirements, and includes integrated controls for volume adjustment to tune the sound masking levels precisely.
