Acousti AcoustiPack pre-cut kit for Antec Sonata I
PLEASE NOTE: This kit is not compatible with the Antec Sonata II case. Please see this product if you require a pre-cut kit for the Antec Sonata II case.
Acousti Products have produced a pre-cut set of acoustic materials especially designed for the Antec Sonata I Super Midi Tower. The Sonata I has been engineered with quiet operation in mind - with features such as a quiet Antec power supply, HDD mounting grommets to minimise vibrational case resonance, a solid case front, rubber feet, and an internal rear 120mm temperature-controlled case fan as standard (with gel fan mounts).

The pre-cut AcoustiPack™ for the Antec Sonata I adds to the sound dampening features built in to this case to help create a case that will run almost silently along with quiet components. The kit consists of five acoustic foam blocks, and six shaped pieces of acoustic composite, and a shaped plain acoustic barrier piece for the case floor. Some of the foam blocks are optional depending on how many internal components are installed. The acoustic foam pieces are designed to occupy unused void space inside the case, and serve to reduce internal volume and absorb internally generated noise. For example, fitting of one of the large blocks supplied into the void space under the HDD cage serves to ‘duct’ airflow from the front of the case through the HDD cage, therefore aiding HDD cooling.

Fitting Recommendations and Tips
Once you have the pre-cut kit for the Antec Sonata I, work out where each part fits in the case and fit ONLY in the order shown on the instructions because some parts will NOT fit if installed before others!
The first part in this kit is very tricky to locate and will need special care. It is best fitted by removing the power supply and perhaps any upper 5¼ inch drives and then turning the case up-side down. The trick is to slot the part into it’s location without letting the self-adhesive stick prematurely. We have found it is easier to leave the optional rectangular ‘push-out’ (the one that fits behind the ‘Antec’ logo) in place and then remove it after fitting the entire piece rather than trying to fit this part after you have removed the ‘push-out’ rectangle (because the part becomes very floppy without the optional ‘push-out’).
We have found that removing only part of the backing sheet when fitting self-adhesive parts is the easiest way to fit them. For example, when fitting the self-adhesive door panel to the inside of the Sonata I door - only peel back a small proportion of the backing sheet, locate the self-adhesive part against the hinge edge, and only when you are certain that the part location is correct proceed to peel back more of the backing sheet and stick more of the pre-cut material in place.
Please take care to read the installation directions before installing this product.
