In this episode of Taurus Tech Talk we’re joined by Andrew Vawter from MPS ('Making Privacy Simple') to discuss all things sound masking! Andy begins with walking us through the various roles he’s taken on while being a part of MPS as well as the shifts the company has gone through including starting off as ‘Speech Privacy Systems’ and the transition into today's MPS. We also have the opportunity to discuss the various products now offered by MPS that span from wall treatments to the hardware that mounts to a desk and everything in between including custom designs. Andy also notes the important difference between sound masking and noise cancellation technology, two terms that are mistakenly used interchangeably.
