Lencore Acoustics Corp. has upgraded its Spectra i.Net technology to include Point Z Technology, which enables the system to provide even more flexibility and adjustment options by allowing unprecedented zone overlap capabilities for paging, music, and soundmasking.
In addition to the Spectra i.Net® System’s capabilities for paging, which includes all call page and 99 programmable zones, Point Z technology allows each of the four channels on the system’s sound source (known as the OP or Operating Platform) to be assigned and included in up to 11 separate paging zones – all call plus 10 client determined and programmed zones.
Each plenum OP creates four separate channels (A, B, C, & D) that produce four independent noise sources for masking, paging, and music. Each channel then supports 1-8 speakers. This amazing upgrade enables each OP to provide a total of 44 overlapping zones and ensures that a quality, clear page can be customized and delivered to the client’s specific requirements.
Previous systems could provide two overlaps (all call and one programmable zone) per channel for paging. With the addition of Point Z technology, there are endless zoning permutations that can be programmed for paging, music, and masking. For example, clients can now program and set the system to have a paging zone for all open office areas throughout the entire building, plus further drill down and create a zone for all open office areas on only the odd floors, all open areas on only the even floors, and all open areas on odd and even floors on only the north side of the facility.
