QuietFeet™ Vibration Isolation Feet

For pricing and availability, please click here or order at the top of the page

Our new QuietFeet™ are designed for maximum absorption efficiency and damping of unwanted audible vibration. Computer noise can be transmitted through the feet of your computer and be amplified by whatever surface your computer is sitting on. If you have your computer sitting on a desk, the computer shelf under the desk or hard floor (not carpeted) for example, the vibrations from your hard drives, CD ROM/DVD ROM, fans and other noisy components travel right through the chassis and poorly-designed computer feet into the surface of whatever the computer is sitting on. If the surface where your computer is located is a 'resonant' surface such as a wooden floor or desk, the vibrations are acoustically amplified by the resonant surface the same way the strings of a guitar are amplified by the wooden body of the guitar.

QuietFeet™ are made from a special proprietary visco-elastic polymer that combines shock absorption, vibration isolation and vibration damping characteristics to create the ideal acoustic damper and absorber. They have a very high damping coefficient, thus reducing the transmission of computer vibration into whatever surface the computer is sitting on. The QuietFeet offer a very effective and inexpensive method to reduce unwanted noise from a wide variety of computer and similar equipment and are especially effective for use in home entertainment centers with computer-based playback systems, TIVO's and even on record player turntables.

QuietFeet™ come in three different sizes!

They come in three size/weight ranges in convenient packs of four feet each. They can also be used to reduce noise created by computer peripherals such as external hard drives, CD-ROM's, etc. and even TIVO units. Some of our customers have even used them on the water pump for the CPU water cooling system inside their computer cases.

iMON Hardware

iMON Pad

iMON Pad
Introducing the new (and best yet) remote controller from Soundgraph, the iMON Pad. The response rate of the iMON Pad has been greatly improved over the older remote controllers, so much so it is up to 30ms quicker, making it equivalent to that of a keyboard or mouse. This means the iMON Pad can make more precise mouse cursor movements. Instead of using the stick controller like the old iMON RSC, the iMON Pad uses a PAD controller which generates more precise and pressure dependent mouse cursor movements. The PAD controller is also designed to be used as the four arrow buttons (up, down, left, right) as on a keyboard. The button layout of iMON Pad is well thought-out, providing easy access to many media-play related buttons proving to be very useful with applications such as MultiMedian and Windows Media Center. The iMON Pad has been optimised to work best with iMON Manager and MultiMedian software.

The iMON Knob, iMON Inside and iMON VFD are all supplied with the iMON Pad remote controller.


 

iMON Knob

iMON Knob
iMON Knob is the new external IR receiver from Soundgraph. It not only acts as an IR receiver but also controls the volume of your PC, including mute! You can rotate the knob to turn the volume up or down, or just press the top to mute. The iMON Knob is supplied with 3M adhesive tape, this means you can stick it wherever you like! Or alternatively you can just have it placed on your desk.

iMON Knob is supplied with the iMON Pad remote controller.


 

iMON Inside

iMON Inside
The iMON Inside is an internal IR Receiver. It is designed to be installed in a spare 3.5" drive bay. One benefit of the iMON Inside over the iMON Knob is that it's possible to turn the PC on and off with the remote control when the iMON Inside is installed. A special ATX cable is supplied that allows the iMON Inside to power on or off the PC. Available in silver or black brushed aluminum, the iMON Inside is ideal for customers who want control over their PC without having an external receiver.

iMON Inside is supplied with the iMON Pad remote controller.


 

iMON VFD

iMON VFD
Finally, we have the iMON VFD. This is Soundgraph's flagship iMON product. It does everything the iMON Inside is capable of but it also provides useful information. Designed to fit into a 5.25" drive bay, the iMON VFD can show information such as system info, what MP3 track is playing, world news/weather/time and much more, it can even tell you if you have new email! The best thing about this product is not that it looks fantastic with its' silver or black brushed aluminum feel, or that it has a volume control. The best thing is that it is extremely easy to install and configure. Once installed, you can have the iMON VFD doing everything mentioned above in no time at all!

iMON VFD is supplied with the iMON Pad remote controller.

" ...the Zalman ZMMFC1 is well laid out and contains a useful set of controls which are easy to operate. The four fan speed dials will drop the voltage enough that even the most common fan should become pretty much silent. " - Trusted Reviews
