The MaxSpect Gyre has been making literal waves in the aquarium water pump space for the last several months and the larger XF150 is a beast of a water mover. The 50 watt DC motor powering the large, dual-vaned gyre generator is capable of pushing substantial mass water movement in the aquarium but that concentration of power and the high RPM does make an audible sound in the aquarium.
在定期使用期间,Gyre XF150并不比任何一个像样的水族馆Powerhead响亮,但是在最高的设置中,几乎可以明显地噪音。能够听到Gyre XF150的声音从来都不是一个巨大的批评,但Maxspect并没有让这种略微无法解决,并且新的软架子旨在降低泵的噪音和振动水平。
The first mount that shipped with the MaxSpect Gyre 150 featured a small degree of vibration dampening in the form of soft silicone in the base of the magnet and in the ‘hub’ that holds the whole pump together. However, a couple weeks ago we received a new set of mounts for the Gyre 150 which includes dramatically more soft material between the pump and the magnet holding it.
With the original mount the MaxSpect Gyre makes the kind of sound that seems to originateinsidethe motor so we were skeptical that this new softer mount would do much to reduce this noise. The first time we cranked up the MaxSpect Gyre 150 with the new mount we had to double check that the pump was actually running since the noise coming from it was not just reduced, and it was all but eliminated.
At first glance the new soft mount for the MaxSpect Gyre appears to just out from the glass a lot more than the previous version but once the pump is mounted it only adds about 1/4″ of distance from the glass, preserving the Gyre’s low profile. The smallerGyre XF130已经用新的和改进的软磁铁安装架运送了,但是XF150的早期采用者很快就可以选择升级到降噪式安装座 - 有关升级程序的详细信息将很快由Coralvue宣布。
