Cambridge Sound SQT-1 Individual Sound Masking System Speakers - 330.0071.900

Product Overview

The Cambridge Sound SQT-1 Sonet Qt is an individual sound masking system speaker, part number 330.0071.900, designed to reduce noise distractions in a single personal workspace. It uses the same direct-field sound masking technology found in Cambridge Sound's QtPro systems, scaled down for one-person coverage. Because the unit is portable, it can be installed or relocated at any time without ceiling infrastructure.

Product Description

Open offices, shared suites, and home workspaces often cannot justify a full ceiling-mounted masking system, yet occupants still face conversational distractions and speech privacy concerns. The SQT-1 addresses this gap by delivering localized sound masking to an individual environment. The masking signal is generated with the same Quiet Technology approach used in Cambridge's commercial QtPro platforms, producing a smooth, unobtrusive spectrum rather than simple white noise. Portability is the core advantage: the speaker adapts to new desks, offices, or rooms as needs change, with no plenum cabling or controller commissioning required. It suits professionals handling confidential conversations, employees in high-traffic areas, and anyone who needs to reduce the intelligibility of nearby speech. For full-floor coverage, step up to QtPro emitters and controllers in the Cambridge Sound collection at Creation Networks.
