This is a very popular question among all of the Kryotech e-mail inquiries. We've never really used any sound measurements before, but we now have some data in the table below to help you better understand just how quiet this unit really is. A human breathing is about 10 dBA (decibels adjusted), whispering is about 20 dBA, elevator music 40 dBA and 70 dBA in a cabin of an airplane during flight. Now that you have an idea of what various dBA levels are, you can understand why the SuperG's 39 dBA shouldn't bug you more than any other system with a few fans. With a quieter compressor, a lower (but larger) fan speed and a softer sounding system power supply, the SuperG is able to keep the neighbors from complaining.

Weight

Probably the second most popular question is about weight. Tipping the scales at 80 lbs, this beast isn't very fun to move around the lab. Moving the machine is like moving a large screen television around. Unfortunately the machine doesn't have an easy way to lift it (no handles or straps) so you may need assistance moving it around. However, like televisions, we don't move them a lot so this shouldn't be too bad once you are settled in.
