approximately 920 sq. ft. Four loudspeakers are required, each one covers 230 sq. ft.

masking sound in the entire building.

is very different from the other zones of the building.
Zone 4: This zone is a waiting room near the reception. This area is approximately 320 sq. ft.
Zone 5: This zone is above the reception desk. It is separated from zone 4 in order to reduce the

loudspeaker is installed above each office. The total area is 1320 sq. ft., each
