Mode-AL Have Enclosures For A Quiet Life
Continuing Mode-AL’s philosophy of development and reﬁnement, the company have announced their new range of soundproof 19-inch rack enclosures. Acknowledging times when electronic equipment needs to be ‘front of house’, but that the noise of fans and other components can be irritating, Mode-AL has developed a range of soundproofed 19-inch rack enclosures. For many years, Mode-AL have been producing their own range of 19-inch racks speciﬁcally tailored for front of house applications, providing enclosures with a high aesthetic value combined with impressive build quality. This has seen the racks being used across the full spectrum of industries from broadcast, telepresence, and recording studios, into the boardrooms of many FTSE 100 companies. “We have provided many soundproof enclosures to suit many diﬀerent applications over the last 10 years, on an ad hoc basis” commented Mode-AL’s MD David Lees. “Now we have brought all that experience together in the new ECS cabinet range. This is a rare case of nothing new and nothing clever, but the combination of s many innovations and refinements over er the years into a product range that enables our clients to select the products from the page rather than specify each individual component. We are confident that we will be helping systems integrators towards a quieter life.” The ECS cabinet range offers an impressive range of features

including a minimum of 36 dB noise reduction, cable gaskets ﬁtted with Poron memory foam to maintain the acoustic integrity, two temperature controlled variable speed fans with an acoustically ducted airﬂow system to ensure the equipment remains at its optimum operating conditions without adding to the noise ﬂoor. There is a dust ﬁlter on the input side of the airﬂow, which can be easily removed from the front of the cabinet for cleaning. The cabinets, which are available in a choice of ﬁnishes to suit the décor of the installation, feature smoked glass doors front and rear as standard, which are lockable and close to air-tight gaskets to prevent sound spill. The side panels are lined with high density polyurethane foam to provide excellent sound absorption and a high mass barrier to extend the attenuation down to lower frequency ranges. The ECS range of cabinets are available in 400, 600 and 800mm depths, include cable tray and rack strips as standard and as a customisable extra, they can be supplied in wood veneer, trespa or painted ﬁnishes to match the environment they will be housed in. ■
