The Cambridge Qt™ X 800/800D control module is a sound masking generator, controller, third octave band equalizer and amplifier, with two auxiliary audio inputs to allow for distribution of audio from paging controllers and/or (background) music players. The Qt X 800/800D controls sound masking speakers/emitters in both direct-field and indirect (in-plenum) installations—or a mix of both. Each of the eight amplified output speakers/emitters can be independently adjusted for masking and aux audio levels and spectra. Both models feature full compatibility with Biamp’s SageVue™ system management software and can participate in larger Qt X system. When multiple Qt X controllers are included in a single system audio inputs can be shared across all controllers via AVB or Dante (800/D).

ARCHITECTS & ENGINEERS SPECIFICATION
The network sound masking processor shall be a Qt X 800. The unit shall be designed and approved for installation above suspended ceilings or in open structure environments. The unit shall be PoE and AVB or Dante capable. The unit shall be capable of providing eight independent amplifier channels, designed to power and independently control up to eight DynasoundPro sound masking speakers. The unit shall be capable of time-of-day masking level control; per-zone settings shall be available for day/night levels and start times, ramping interval, and weekday/Sat/Sun behavior. Each controller shall include eight non-correlated sound masking generators to minimize comb filtering between speakers. Units that do not support individual speaker control or are designed to control speakers in groups of two or more ganged speakers are not acceptable. The unit shall be designed to operate with industry standard PoE network switches. Units that require proprietary network switches and hardware are not acceptable. The unit shall meet all requirements of Underwriters Laboratories, the US and Canadian National Electrical Codes, FCC Part 15, and all pertinent UK and EU codes. The controller shall be CE marked, UL listed, and shall be compliant with the RoHS directive. Warranty shall be five years. The controller shall be Qt X 800/800D.
