Our systems are designed with the very best technology and knowledge when it comes to silent computing and quality custom PCs. Every item in our PCs (not just a select few) is geared to produce a completely silent environment. This silent environment is imperative when it comes to producing an audio workstation which produces an absolutely dry signal. A clean recording requires the added attention to silence that we bring to the picture.
When configuring your Digital Audio Workstation, no shortcut is taken and every precaution is taken, so that every last component works together seamlessly, and is dead acoustically. We don't just choose quieter parts, we choose the quietest, best performing parts available and assemble them cleanly to optimize airflow and minimize the slightest vibration. We don't just replace one or two parts in our system with relatively quiet components, we replace each component with the quietest part.
Designed with the best for quiet operation, reliability, and power. This Tower DAW PC is built around the Antec P183 Quiet Tower Case and is outfitted with the best computer case insulation available, Acoustipack Ultimate. Don't be misled by competitors claiming to have secret information about audio computer insulation. Acoustipack Ultimate is the most effective, most widely tested case insulation AVAILABLE. It is built specifically to quiet computers in the most effective way possible.
The Nexus 850watt (True 15dB) Inaudible 80Plus PSU is the quietest, most reliable power supply AVAILABLE. Or, if you wish to have even more power available to you, we offer the equally quiet 1000watt Nexus Power Supply as an option.
TRUE i7 POWER for your audio needs. The latest intel i7 CPU is the fastest single CPU available for processing multiple audio tracks and running multiple plug-ins and programs. It is a true Quad core with a virtual eight cores for lightning fast processing. The i7 also supports the latest DDR3 memory and supports up to six DDR memory sticks for the ultimate in memory upgradability.
Video Cards Every video card choice is silently cooled either with the manufacturer's video heatsink or is silently cooled with a custom video card cooler.
Western Digital Quiet Hard Drive Every system comes with the most silent hard drive available. Other digital audio workstation manufacturers tout the choice of Samsung Spinpoint or the Seagate Barracuda 7200.9. At different times, these hard drives were well known for their quiet features. But, currently the quietest (and the most reliable and best performing) hard drives is the Western Digital Caviar Green hard drive, at 25dB in idle mode and 26dB in active seek mode 3. Additionally, for those of you requiring extreme silence, our systems include an option for the Smart Drive 2002 hard drive enclosure, which further silences your hard drive without raising it's temperature.
Motherboard Chipset & Voltage Regulators The motherboard contains fanless heatsink and heatpipes to effectively cool the chipset heatsink and voltage regulators, without the use of noisy fans.
DAW Memory Digital Audio Workstations should never be short on memory, which assists your audio workstations with multi-threading. As such, the MusicMaker™ i7 DAW PC comes with a default of 6GB of the latest and fastest PC3 10600 RAM, with lifetime warranty. Our MusicMaker™ PCs also come with an option for up to 12GB of RAM for ultimate performance.
