Noise Control
Elimination of Signal noise
Components in GT Series enclosures are of the highest quality
possible. These include:
• Heavy-gauge internal power cabling to carry current with minimal loss
• Bridge circuit boards designed to provide extra functions and top
performance
• High-quality data cables to maintain signal integrity at high data
rates
We use Teflon ribbon cables in our GT Series FireWire solutions
because Teflon is the best insulator for minimizing cross-talk and
maintaining high-frequency signal integrity. Good insulation
maintains signal quality. Maintaining signal quality ensures maximum
data transfer rates.
Elimination of Acoustic Noise
GT Series enclosures and the GT Key incorporate QuietMetal™ to
support quiet recording by virtually eliminating noise caused by the
vibrations of hard drives and fans.
QuietMetal is a constrained-layer composite—a laminate formed of two
layers of metal sandwiching a viscoelastic polymer core. Vibration felt
by the metal layers is dampened by the softer center layer: the
deformation of the core facilitates the absorption of vibrational
energy. The combination of QuietMetal and secure fastening with
sturdy steel mounting hardware helps to ensure a still, quiet
environment for your recording sessions.
