A centrally-located Network Control Panel provides precise control over all settings for a single loudspeaker, a group of loudspeakers, or the entire Acoustic Network. Settings and zones can be quickly and easily changed without accessing the ceiling or altering the cabling.

A Timer Feature lets users schedule changes in the masking volume to match activity levels during regular hours and holidays. In retrofit installations, the Ramp-Up Feature gradually increases volume over a defined period of time. Priority Page implements temporary settings in emergencies.

The Network Control Panel also monitors performance. Security measures include password protection, encrypted communication, 24-hour monitoring, alarms and diagnostics.
