Cooling Stand
“ProTools would normally have the Apple fans screaming… using it on the low setting and it's doing a beautiful job of keeping quiet… appreciate the design, skill and care that went into this product.” - L. B.
Cooling Dock
“We’re pushing them day-in and day-out. Heavy imaging, editing, rendering… Some days it was like they were literally cooking. But no more! Our Svalt D's keep them chill and lets us use them like true workstations.” - K. J.
Cooling Stand
“Respect! For sure it clearly shows your approach to design, material and sustainability. Great product. Fan noise is not audible on the low setting. Perfect! Thanks a lot for the great product.” - J. J.
Cooling Dock
“I’ve used a Hengedock for years, had no idea it was blocking one of the fans… Wish I had this cooling dock since I started using external monitors. I’m running between 13-25 cooler… benchmarks are even better.” - R. S.
Cooling Stand
“There is a noticeable help with thermals as the computer's temperature is substantially better. The fan is extremely quiet in its low setting and exceedingly efficient in its highest one. I absolutely love it.” - J. R.
