A Customer Story: Astroseal Enhances Open Workspace Privacy With an Office Sound Masking System

Background

Astroseal, a leader in the aerospace composite market, is renowned for manufacturing high-quality products tailored to the needs of composite aerospace manufacturers. Among its standout innovations is Astrostrike®, a lightweight Lightning Strike Protection product developed to shield critical aircraft components such as fuselages, wings, and stabilizers. Today, Astrostrike® is celebrated for its exceptional performance, cost efficiency, and reliability.

Astroseal decided to partner with Pure Resonance Audio after recognizing the need for an office sound masking system to address a challenge in its open "bullpen" office layout. The senior management offices, located next to the busy open workspace, required a solution to improve privacy and reduce distractions, creating a more focused and productive work environment.

Working with Pure Resonance Audio

During the search for an effective sound masking solution, Operations Manager Tracy Riechel discovered Pure Resonance Audio through a Google search. With limited prior experience in sound masking, Tracy found the company’s website to be an invaluable resource, offering detailed information about how sound masking systems work, their coverage capabilities, and the equipment needed to achieve optimal results.

After reaching out, Tracy collaborated with Sales Engineer Andrew McPherson to determine the best solution for Astroseal’s needs. The process was seamless, thanks to Andrew’s clear and efficient communication. Combined with competitive pricing and reliable delivery, the overall experience gave Astroseal the confidence to move forward with Pure Resonance Audio.

The final solution included an open plan office sound masking system featuring 3” commercial ceiling speakers, the Pure Resonance Audio MA30BT Bluetooth mixer amplifier, and a USB sound masking white noise generator. To expand their options, Astroseal also purchased two additional USB comfort sound masking generators. Initially, solely white noise was used to address privacy concerns in the office, but based on employee feedback, Astroseal explored alternative sound options, experimenting with the new generators, which allowed them to switch between nature-inspired soundscapes- “River” and “Ocean.” These calming sounds not only met senior management's privacy needs but also enhanced the atmosphere in the open workspace, fostering a more serene and productive environment.

Reflection

Astroseal’s investment in an office sound masking system has proven highly beneficial. The system’s easy installation, adaptability, and intuitive design enabled a seamless implementation, while the ability to quickly swap sound cards for further customization added significant value. Tracy noted the positive impact the system had on the workplace, highlighting how it not only addressed the company’s privacy needs but also fostered a more pleasant and focused environment. By integrating office ceiling speakers with sound masking technology, Astroseal successfully optimized its office acoustics.

For businesses aiming to enhance office privacy and manage sound effectively, Astroseal’s experience demonstrates the value of partnering with Pure Resonance Audio. Their expertise, customer-focused approach, and high-quality solutions make them a trusted partner in creating productive and comfortable workspaces.
