Cambridge Sound Management introduces the Qt Conference Room Edition, a new product designed to provide speech privacy in conference rooms. The all-in-one solution includes a control module, two privacy signs, and eight emitters that are spaced evenly in the ceiling outside the conference room. The system masks conversations to make them unintelligible to listeners outside the room. It provides an easy way to retrofit existing conference rooms and protect sensitive discussions from being overheard.
