Auto Dealers
An open-plan environment provides a welcoming atmosphere for customers to easily view showroom models and access sales professionals. However, it can also compromise features of value during the sales process, such as speech privacy and acoustic comfort.
Some dealerships try using music to improve their acoustics. But music alone does not provide a spectrum conducive to masking conversations and noises. Because it contains variations, patterns and words, it can be a distraction.
Sound masking helps dealerships reconcile the need for acoustical control and speech privacy with the open environment required for their showrooms. If necessary, paging and/or music can be simultaneously distributed by the same system, providing a complete audio solution.

Renault Central Showroom
Brussels, Belgium
The Renault Central Showroom serves Belgium and Luxembourg. It features a 750 m2 (8073 ft2) showroom and 150 m2 (1615 ft2) mezzanine restaurant. Though the restaurant is frequently used for meetings and as a workspace, there are no partitions or windows separating it from the showroom.
To provide speech privacy, these areas, and 4,000 m2 (43,055 ft2) of offices open to the showroom, were treated with sound masking. Visitors now cannot understand conversations taking place at a distance of 4 m (13 ft), allowing sales professionals to discuss discounts on car models with full privacy - even when other visitors are present. The system also provides paging and music distribution.
