Overhead Paging - Valcom / Bogen

If your business is in the manufacturing sector, it is likely that OSHA requires overhead paging to ensure your employees can receive emergency notifications.

Overhead paging is used for a variety of applications including staff locator, one way communications, two way communications, and to provide background music. Echo 24 designs, installs, and services equipment by Valcom and Bogen. Echo 24 is also certified on Valcom's Multipath dealer products, a solution ideal for institutions, manufacturing, and health care.

Sound Masking

"With over 80% of today's office environments comprised of open plan, the importance of good acoustics has become critical.

An increase in floor densities and a rise in the use of teaming environments, shared spaces, and speaker phones, has quickly made office acoustics a major issue. Lencore's background sound masking creates spaces that are acoustically comfortable and that afford a much higher degree of speech privacy than does any other solution".

Studies indicate employee productivity increases up to 15% after installation of sound masking. How is this possible? Sound masking greatly diminishes distractions by extraneous noises in the open workplace allowing employees to concentrate more of their time on the task before them!

CCTV / Surveillance Camera Systems

A common misconception among business leaders is that surveillance cameras create an atmosphere of mistrust in the workplace. In fact, the opposite is true. CCTV (Closed Circuit TV) / Camera systems are often installed to provide employee protection. Examples of this include:

• monitoring stairwells where elderly people may fall and require immediate assistance
• securing doors and allowing employees to be sure of the identity of individuals before granting access
• protecting honest employees from false accusations about missing inventory or cash
• monitoring parking lots where employees may be harassed or worse

Of course, CCTV systems are still a great way for business owners to minimize loss and increase employee productivity. Ask Echo 24 how we can help design and install a system that is right for your business!

Professional Grade Commercial Audio/Video

Ok, maybe audio / video systems can be used for fun and entertainment! However, one recent application Echo 24 recently completed was for an investment brokerage.

This client wanted to be able to watch Bloomberg or CNBC from anywhere in the room of their large trading floor. Echo 24 installed a large screen plasma and two smaller LCD screen television monitors strategically in the space.

Another challenge for this client was having the ability to hear the audio portion or to turn it down while talking on the phone at their desk. Echo 24 designed and installed an audio system which placed a small speaker on each broker's desk allowing them to control the volume in their individual work space.

This solution is working better than expected to the delight of the client.
