ABSTRACT:
An acoustic sound-masking system carried in a core module provides conversational privacy for workers in an open-plan office space. The core module is movable to a desired location on the open floor and has at least three substantially like height side-panel portions providing a movable tubular enclosure. This module has a top member configured to provide a closure of the top end of the tubular enclosure and at least one through aperture is formed and in which is mounted a loudspeaker. This loudspeaker is adapted to produce sound and direct this sound upwardly and outwardly. Each loudspeaker is mounted so as to not protrude excessively above the top surface of the top member. At least one divider is attached or has one end substantially contiguous to the tubular enclosure. A plurality of desks or work areas is arrayed between the dividers, with a pair of desks or work areas between each divider. Each work area is adapted to be within that area proximate a divider, with the sound-masking level great enough to insure speech privacy for the occupant of said work area, while providing sound-masking only for this localized area.
