Symposium Acoustics
Svelte Shelf
The Svelte Shelf is a slim, 5/8-inch-thick constrained-layer isolation platform that drains vibration out of a component and dissipates it as heat, using polished stainless-steel outer layers sandwiching proprietary damping interlayers — a design adapted from "sandwich" loudspeaker-diaphragm technology. Its low profile makes it usable in vertically tight equipment racks where thicker isolation platforms won't fit.
