Product Overview
The TOA NM-01-AM is a plug-in sound masking module for TOA 9000M2, M-9000M2, 900, 700, and BG-2000 Series modular mixer/amplifiers. It generates analog random pink noise to mask distracting conversations and maintain audio privacy in open offices, conference rooms, and healthcare environments — eliminating the need for a separate sound masking system.
Product Description
The NM-01-AM installs directly into an available module bay of its host amplifier, requiring no external enclosure or independent power supply. The module outputs 300 mV of band-limited pink noise and includes an RCA external processor loop so an optional equalizer can shape the masking spectrum to suit room acoustics. A dry-contact mute terminal (normally open; close to mute) enables integration with building automation, occupancy sensors, or scheduling systems. Up to two NM-01-AM modules may be installed per amplifier chassis, enabling control of two independent masking zones from a single unit. The TOA AN-9001 ceiling-mount ambient microphone is an optional companion for automatic volume adaptation based on room noise levels. Explore the full TOA 9000M2 Series at Creation Networks.
Key Features
- Band-Limited Pink Noise — Generates analog random pink noise for effective speech masking in open and semi-private commercial spaces.
- External EQ Processor Loop — RCA in/out loop for connecting an optional graphic equalizer to tune the masking spectrum to room acoustics.
- Dry-Contact Mute — Normally-open mute terminal integrates with BMS, occupancy sensors, or scheduling systems to stop masking on demand.
- Host-Powered — Powered by the host amplifier (+24 VDC / –24 VDC / +6 VDC); no external supply required.
- Broad Series Compatibility — Compatible with TOA 9000M2, M-9000M2, 900, 700, and BG-2000 Series modular mixer/amplifiers.
- Dual-Zone Support — Install up to two NM-01-AM modules per chassis for independent masking zones from one amplifier.
- Compact Module Form Factor — Occupies a single module slot; integrates without additional rack space or wiring complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which amplifiers work with the NM-01-AM? The TOA 9000M2, M-9000M2, 900, 700, and BG-2000 Series modular mixer/amplifiers — it occupies a standard module slot.
Can I adjust the masking frequency curve? Yes — connect an optional graphic equalizer via the RCA external processor loop to tailor the pink noise spectrum to your room.
Can masking be silenced remotely? Yes — a normally-open dry-contact mute input allows a BMS, relay, or occupancy sensor to stop masking automatically.
How many units can I install per amplifier? A maximum of two NM-01-AM modules per chassis, supporting up to two independent masking zones.
Is a microphone required? Not required for basic masking; the optional AN-9001 ceiling-mount microphone enables automatic volume adaptation based on ambient noise levels.
Does it need its own power supply? No — it is powered directly by the host amplifier at +24 VDC, –24 VDC, and +6 VDC.
