WORLD SERVICE]
The BBC World Service were working on a new initiative to
produce video content for broadcast live via the internet.
To produce live news bulletins the production team in the
control room needed to be able to communicate effectively
with one another, monitor the transmission and concentrate
in a high-pressured environment.
With limited real estate available, the equipment racks had
to be located in the Gallery/Studio control room. The ambient
noise produced by this equipment is such that it is usually
installed in a separate room to allow a suitable working environment.
The System integrator [Boxer
Systems] suggested the solution was to install AcoustiRACK
cabinets that dramatically reduced the noise to an acceptable
level.
"The project would not have been possible without
the use of AcoustiRACK products. The Systems integrator (Boxer
systems) suggested the use of the 42U racks in our gallery,
allowing us to negate the need for a separate machine room.
This gave us a substantial saving and allowed full access
to all the equipment, making the area much more flexible.
In addition, we have been able to silence our dimming
units using Acousti Products' foam"

"We were approached by one of our clients with a noise
problem in their compact office environment. They were sharing
the main office with 5 x 1U Intel servers, 1 x 2U Intel storage
server and an Adaptec NAS unit, and the noise was so loud
it was distracting them from their work!
"We suggested the client isolate the noisy equipment
inside a 24U AcoustiRACK soundproofed cabinet and I was sent
to install the server rack. Having completed the installation
and switched on the power, I asked the client what they thought
of the result. The response was, '...it looks very nice, but
how loud is it going to be?' The AcoustiRACK was so effective
that the client had not realised that the units were already
turned on!"

"The rack made it possible for us to work in comfort.
Our old rack seemed to intensify the noise of the raid drives,
this one does exactly what you said it would... be quiet!"
