New SMS-SURF4 
Compact Surface Sound Masking Speaker
The new SURF4 loudspeaker is designed to generate the optimum masking sound for in-ceiling configuration with a small footprint of 4 inches (100mm), significantly reducing the size of our surface sound masking speaker AND keeping all of its available power. Furthermore, the SURF4 comes with two easy-to-use springs for installation in the ceiling tile or gypsum.

Two Types of Sound Masking Volume Knobs
Ease of Use and Flexibility
Soft dB’s Smart SMS-NET already enjoys exceptional confidentiality and comfort with the Adaptive Control exclusive feature. However, specific situations require lowering or raising the volume level of the masking sound in individual offices or board rooms. It is for these situations that Soft dB offers two types of volume knobs. The SMS-SK-VC allows users to adjust the volume for a given speaker, while the SMS-ZN-VC allows users to adjust the volume of a given zone (a group of speakers).

Rockfon Uses Soft dB's Sound Imaging Technology
Soft dB I-Track in the News
Rockfon, a subsidiary of Denmark-based ROCKWOOL International, produces acoustic solutions for ceilings and walls. In their blog article “SEEING YOUR WAY THROUGH THE NOISE”, we discover how their products perform to control the noise passing through a ceiling. The very accurate sound maps presented in the article were created using the I-Track system, Soft dB’s very own sound intensity mapping system. As the author says : “This color-mapping method helps to bridge the gap between the technical, quantitative side of acoustics and the visual side of design in an impactful and memorable way.”
