Cambridge Sound DS1320-W-4 Dynasound Active Emitter, 4 Pack, Cables not included (White) - 911.0807.900

Product Overview

The Cambridge Sound DS1320-W-4 (part number 911.0807.900) is a four-pack of Dynasound Active Emitters in white, specified for DynasoundPro networked sound masking systems; cables are not included. Each emitter is a compact ceiling loudspeaker that masks sound while simultaneously delivering clear paging and music signals from a single source. The active design offers a wider frequency range and higher SPL than previous direct-field emitters — 17 dB louder — and is virtually invisible once installed in finished or open-structure ceilings. The emitters are plenum-rated, UL-listed, and comply with UL 2043.

Product Description

Emitters are the ceiling loudspeakers of a sound masking system, and the DS1320 is the DynasoundPro-network version of the Qt Active Emitter. Active electronics power the speaker, and a ported enclosure extends sound masking response down to the 125 Hz octave band and paging/music response to 115 Hz, with output of 74 dB SPL at 1 meter. Four uncorrelated audio channels reduce phasing and comb-filtering between adjacent emitters, producing the uniform masking field that makes the system comfortable to occupy. The emitters use the same control modules, cabling infrastructure, and driver size as other Cambridge Sound systems, are compatible with the Qt 300 and Qt 600 control modules, and can run alongside original Qt Emitters on the same processor when assigned to separate zones. Powering the active emitters requires the 600-watt 3-zone power supply and power injector accessories. A slip-ring mount for acoustical tile installation comes standard, rear DIP switches trim level in 1.5 dB increments down to -4.5 dB, and the system is managed through web-based control from any device. The DS1320 carries a five-year warranty. Cables are purchased separately; find cabling, power accessories, and control modules in the Cambridge Sound collection.

FAQ

How is the DS1320 different from the Qt Active Emitter packs?
The DS1320 is the version specified for DynasoundPro networked sound masking systems. It shares the same active emitter design, control modules, cabling infrastructure, and driver size as other Cambridge Sound systems.

What do I need to power these emitters?
Active emitters require the 600-watt 3-zone power supply and power injector accessories, in addition to the control module.

Are cables included?
No. The DS1320-W-4 ships without cables; plenum rated emitter cabling is purchased separately.

Can I mix DS1320 active emitters with original Qt Emitters?
Yes. Both emitter types can run on the same control processor simultaneously when assigned to separate zones.

Are they plenum rated?
Yes. The emitters are UL-listed and comply with UL 2043 for installation in air handling spaces.
