Venting

Acoustic Protection

Acoustic Problem

GORE™ Protective Vents for acoustics allow these devices to be dust-tight and, in some cases, water-tight. Along with protecting components from the weather, GORE™ Protective Vents can withstand immersion in water to IP67. GORE™ Vents also resist a variety of common fluids such as soda, beer, and coffee. Often placed over ports in equipment, the vents are designed to preserve sound quality while creating a barrier from the elements for speakers, microphones, and alerts.

Active lifestyles and harsh environments demand rugged electronics. This means devices such as mobile phones, computer equipment, two-way radios, and mobile defibrillators must be able to tolerate some abuse. Even daily routines that expose devices to common elements — water, cleaning fluids, dust, and dirt — can damage sensitive acoustic and electrical components.
