Why AcoustiFeet?
Why do we recommend AcoustiFeet? When giving advice regarding quieting your
computer, we always recommend working first on the big sources of noise in your
computer. The biggest sources are the power supply, the cpu fan, the case fan
(if applicable), the hard drive, and in some cases the video card fan. It is
always more effective to first eliminate the sources of noise in your computer,
rather than first trying to dampen the noise with noise dampening materials.
However, after these issues have been addressed (the big sources of noise have
been eliminated), some customers find that their computer is so silent that even
the smallest vibration that is left becomes a source of "noise" they want to
eliminate. QuietFeet are an extremely inexpensive and effective way to address
this slight remaining vibration.
AcoustiFeet
A great deal of PC case feet are solid plastic, or (at best) very hard rubber
and therefore do a good job of transmitting unwanted vibrations from inside a PC
via the chassis/case into the desk, floor or shelf on which the system sits. In
this situation, where the case is in direct contact with the substrate, the PC
can generate annoying noise elsewhere (secondary noise).
Acoustiproducts ™ has designed a unique set of 4 self-adhesive soft silicone
feet. These case feet are designed to decouple a PC case from the floor or
substrate by absorbing vibrational energy, and therefore helping to minimise
noise generation caused by vibrations. A simple and economic solution to combat
unwanted vibrational noise! - throw away your plastic feet and apply a set of 4
self-adhesive soft silicone case feet! These feet are also low-profile (7mm
high), so they won't necessarily be seen. The rounded edge is designed
specifically to dampen vibration transmission in a number of planes, and for
varying case weights.
Multiple Applications
Antivibration case feet are not just limited to combating PC noise and
vibration - they are also useful for Inkjet and Laser Printers, HiFi Separates,
TVs, Small Form Factor PCs, Home Theatre PCs, and any number of appliances and
enclosures that would benefit from vibration adsorption and reduction. Speaker
cabinets may also be a useful application for these feet - helping to isolate
the speaker cabinet from the surface on which it sits.
AcoustiFeet - Rated To 30Kg (70lbs)
This heavy-duty version of AcoustiFeet ™ is suitable for most PCs including
seriously heavy PCs and Tower Server cases - heavier PCs with multiple HDDs,
tower-style case servers, other applications like noisy photocopiers and office
equipment etc.
