Abstract
Noisemasking speakers are positioned in an array to direct noise into a space which is to be used by a number of people so that individual privacy is assured. The array is divided into four or more sets of speakers. The single noise source is equalized, and the same equalized noise is fed to the four speaker sets through time-delay devices so that the noise from each set has low correlation with each of the other sets.
