The Soft dB's SMS-AMP is a DSP-based system that provides unique adjustment functions and ensures the generation of the optimum masking sound regardless of the characteristics of the room.

Automatic Equalization Process: Adjusts automatically the masking spectrum for the specific architectural characteristics of the building. The adjustment is quick and precise.

Active Adjustment of the Masking Sound Level: Continuously measures the ambient noise and automatically adjusts the masking sound level accordingly. It maximizes the privacy in the treated space while preserving the occupants' comfort.

The SMS-AMP is available in 1, 2, 4 or 8 channel versions, and integrates the controller, the noise generators, the equalizers and the 25-Volt amplifiers. It combines sound masking, music diffusion and paging systems, all integrated in one convenient rackmount package.


Features:
  • Fully adjustable output channels, e.g. 1/3 octave equalizers (± 0,1 dB adjustment).
  • Auxilliary inputs for music or paging, 1/3 octave band equalizer on each output.
  • Up to 8 SMS-AMP units can be networked with a USB if more than 8 channels are needed.
  • Inputs for active sound level sensors.
  • Programmable phase-in timer (up to 2 months).
  • Volume control knob allows easy volume adjustments.
  • The DSP processor is controlled from a PC connected through a USB port.
  • Includes a UL and FCC certified 110-240VAC - 25 VDC external power supply.
  • Optional internal clock for calendar function allows time-based automatic adjustments.

Applications:


The SMS-AMP Sound Masking System only requires to be connected to 25-Volt speakers to generate masking sound. All the sound generators, equalizers, mixers and amplifiers are included in one simple rackmount unit.

Smart Software

The Smart SMS Software performs auto-calibration (patent pending 2,471,674) and real-time frequency analyses of the sound masking.

Note that the software can be used with many Smart SMS units connected together.


  • Automatic or manual adjustment of the masking spectrum for each channel
  • Built-in frequency analyzer in 1/3 octave and narrow bands
  • Real time display of masking spectrum in the room
  • Rising time adjustment of sound masking (from 1 second to 6 months)
  • Function for saving measurements and parameters for reports, follow-ups or modifications
  • Internet access to system to change set up

Smart Speakers



  • The Smart SMS System uses full-range hi-fi speakers in custom-made casings
  • Each speaker is tested during production to ensure a consistent frequency response between units
  • Each speaker comes with a flexible cable for easy attachment
  • In modern offices without suspended ceilings or with particular installations, the speakers are available in different colors or with custom-made attachments for an additional charge
