Can Soundmasking and Paging be combined in one system?
A properly designed system can be used to distribute almost any audio function such as soundmasking, paging, and/or background music. While soundmasking should never be introduced through downward facing paging speakers (see question below on why soundmasking speakers in ceiling applications are pointed upward), it works well to distribute paging or music through the soundmasking speaker system providing the system is properly designed. Not only is it economically advantageous to combine the functions of above-ceiling soundmasking, paging, and background music, uniform distribution of paging and background music will also improve.
