Once all of the components and their peripherals have been installed and are
operational, they need to be configured into a networked sound masking system.
Additional information to explain each of the configuration steps is available in
Suggested order of operations for installation & commissioning a typical
sound masking system.
Configure each system using the Qt X web interface
Configure controller's IP Address, Network Operation Mode*
(single / dual network cable)
Update firmware for all controllers
Create zones as required
Assign controller outputs to zones
Assign appropriate emitter type to the controller's output
Create music paging Audio Sources and assign to Zones
(ensure emitter type in use supports audio sources)
Define behaviors of input and outputs
Set zone sound masking levels (42dBA SPL to 48dBA SPL)
using a calibrated sound pressure meter. Measure at 4ft. (1.2m)
Adjust masking spectrum equalizer for each output as
necessary to meet project requirements
Set system security / user levels and document passwords
Important:
Record the admin user name and password and keep with
the system documentation. If the Admin level ID and password is lost
there is NOT a means to recover it.
Go through each zone testing / adjusting levels, checking behavior
Set Audio Source levels
Capture final sound masking spectrum and sound pressure level
measurements for reporting if required
Set soft start, schedules, etc., as necessary
Document the schedules on a copy of the System Information
of this guide) and leave it with the system
