A system and mechanism for monitoring and/or controlling a sound masking system from a computer aided design drawing. According to an embodiment, the system is configured to allow an operator to “click” sound masking components on the design drawing and view operating/configuration settings, and/or edit, change or modify the operating/configuration settings, which are then applied via an interface to the associated physical sound masking component in the sound masking system. According to another embodiment, the system is configured to allow an operator to design or configure sound masking components on a design drawing. The sound masking components correspond to physical sound masking components in a sound masking system and comprise one or more active sound masking elements, which are configured to be responsive to an input and allow an operator to monitor, change and/or modify operating/configuration settings for physical sound masking component via the sound masking element in the design drawing.

1. An apparatus for controlling a sound masking system installed in a physical space and comprising a plurality of physical sound masking components, said apparatus comprising: an electronic rendering representing the physical space and including an active graphical element for each of the plurality of physical sound masking components in the sound masking system and each said active graphical element having a location in said electronic rendering corresponding to a physical location of said physical sound masking component installed in the physical space;a user interface configured for applying one or more inputs to one or more of said active graphical elements to control parameters associated with at least some of the physical sound masking components;a controller module configured to be responsive to at least some of said one or more inputs and generate one or more control signals configured to control operation of one or more of the plurality of physical sound masking components; andan interface configured for passing said one or more control signals to the sound masking system for controlling one or more of said physical sound masking components. 2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said electronic rendering comprises a computer aided design generated drawing. 3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein said inputs comprise one or more of a sound masking signal volume setting and a sound masking signal frequency setting. 4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a graphical user interface having a viewer window for displaying said electronic rendering and one or more windows for displaying said information associated with said sound masking components. 5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said user interface comprises a graphical user interface and includes a viewer window for displaying said electronic rendering. 6. An apparatus for configuring a sound masking system installed in a physical space, said apparatus comprising: a component configured to generate an electronic rendering depicting the physical space;a component configured to place one or more sound masking elements on said electronic rendering, each of said one or more sound masking elements representing a corresponding sound masking component physically installed in the physical space for the sound masking system;a controller configured to interface with the sound masking system and receive information associated with the operation of said physically installed sound masking components; andeach of said one or more sound masking elements including a mechanism configured to display the received information associated with the operation of said corresponding physically installed sound masking component; andwherein said mechanism is further configured to be responsive to one or more inputs for modifying operational parameters of said corresponding physically installed sound masking component, and said controller is further configured to generate one or more control commands based on said inputs and transmit said one or more control commands to the physically installed sound masking system. 7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein said mechanism is further configured to be responsive to one or more inputs for modifying operational parameters of said corresponding sound masking component, and said controller is further configured to generate one or more control commands based on said inputs and transmit said one or more control commands to the sound masking system. 8. The apparatus as claimed in claim 7, wherein said operational parameters comprise one or more of a sound masking volume level, a sound masking frequency, and a paging volume level. 9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with an executable program stored therein for controlling a sound masking system installed in a physical space, wherein the program instructs a computer to perform the steps comprising: displaying an electronic rendering of the physical space, and said electronic rendering including one or more graphical elements corresponding to physical sound masking components in the sound masking system;activating one or more of said graphical elements in response to an input;retrieving operational information for the physical sound masking components installed in the physical space and corresponding to said one or more activated graphical elements;receiving one or more inputs to modify said operational information;generating one or more control signals corresponding to said modified operational information; andapplying said one or more control signals to said associated physical sound masking component installed in the physical space.
