Why Sound Masking is Becoming Essential for Speech Privacy in Australian Workplaces
Pro AV Solutions Queensland recently brought together clients, partners, and industry leaders for a focused exploration into one of the most critical – yet often overlooked – elements of workplace design: speech privacy.
In partnership with Biamp, a global leader in professional AV systems, the event unpacked the growing role of sound masking technology in protecting confidential conversations, ensuring compliance, and enhancing comfort across a variety of shared work environments.
Hosted at our Pro AV Solutions Brisbane Showroom, the event featured two sessions, one specifically designed for the healthcare sector, and another tailored for professionals in corporate and government settings.
A key moment of the day was the contribution from Paul Hand, Director of Product Development at Biamp, who visited from the company’s headquarters in Portland, Oregon. Paul shared expert insights into the development of Cambridge Sound Management technology and its application in modern workplaces.
Attendees experienced live demonstrations, participated in open Q&A, and saw how sound masking integrates seamlessly into both new builds and existing spaces. The session underscored Pro AV Solutions’ role as a thought leader in workplace technology, committed to delivering not only AV systems, but future-ready environments.
Why it matters
As open-plan layouts and hybrid work continue to redefine office design, maintaining acoustic privacy is no longer a nice-to-have - it’s essential. Sound masking is already in place across many Fortune 500 companies, and Australian organisations are increasingly adopting it to protect sensitive information and reduce distractions.
Events like these form part of Pro AV Solutions’ broader strategy to bring innovation closer to our clients, showcasing how technology can solve real-world challenges and elevate workplace experiences.
