From the boardroom to the bedroom: the Sonet QT was designed for corporations and medical professionals to achieve sound masking and speech privacy in a business environment, but with a little out-of-the-box thinking, that same technology can be used at home to improve sleep and concentration. This bit of wisdom actually comes from one of our customers:
Started at work moved to bedroom.
I had originally purchased this device in 2004 to mask external sounds in my work environment but shortly found that it works great in the bedroom helping me stay asleep and get to sleep faster. I placed the emitters on each side of my bed. Unlike some devices, like a fan or others that simulate sounds mechanically the Sonet QT, with the ability to easily adjust the volume sounds like a high quality AC unit. For the most part it is a vary reliable device, it was running non-stop (16+ Years) up until December 30, 2021 when my home burned in the Colorado Marshal fire. I tried purchasing a cheaper unit for my new location but quickly found the Sonet QT worked the best for me and quickly purchased a another one. Purchasing a unit for my son, he found it easier to focus and study, being less distracted by surrounding apartment noises.
When it comes to white noise, it's hard to find a better option than the Sonet QT from Cambridge Sound Management. This system of speakers and controllers is meant to be installed in your ceiling or walls to provide a blanket of white noise sound masking for an office or other workplace environment. Medical professionals, office staff, and students all rely on systems like the Sonet QT for speech privacy, confidentiality, and concentration in professional settings. The Sonet QT is accessible and affordable enough to bring this class of professional white noise to personal office and small business settings.
But this customer took it a step even further:
To the bedroom.
Using a pro white noise setup in your own home sounds daunting, but as this reviewer writes, it's possible to use the Sonet QT as a high-end desktop white noise solution in your own home. Nothing says you HAVE to mount the speakers in the ceiling or on the walls; instead you could simply set them up on opposite sides of the room - or on both sides of the bed. The result is a full, thick curtain of white noise protecting you from disturbing nighttime sounds that would otherwise ruin your sleep. Do the same thing in your office or around your desk for a work-and-study-bubble of quiet, so you can concentrate - without hearing every little thing your neighbors are doing.
Ultimately, noise blocking and sound masking are all about inventive problem-solving. Using more noise (specifically white noise) to block out disturbing or irritating background sounds may seem like fighting fire with fire - but it works. Big businesses use Sonet QT white noise systems to improve work and focus, but there's no reason you can't get innovative and use the same technology to solve your own personal problems. When you find a noise solution that works? You go with it.
So here's to the problem-solvers and innovators out there.
And until next time, be safe and do the right thing.
