SONOR designs drums with the intention to continuously improve the acoustic quality in any given situation. You have to look at it from many angles as there are many factors influencing the acoustic performance. SQ1 is the perfect example: a new Birch wood shell construction chosen in a process of blindfold sound tests, combined with a new technical solution, the Sound Sustainer mount. Birch was chosen because of our desire for a very balanced sound. It features characteristic high end frequencies and clearly defined low-end. It's therefore often the material for desired go-to-drums in recording studios around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSimply the best\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSONOR designed a drum mounting solution that would affect the resonance and sustain of a drum as little as possible. Inspiration for the Sound Sustainer mount came from the automotive industry where vibration-control technology is used for engine mounting systems. The result is a unique concept of mounting toms and floor toms that integrates rubber insulation within the mount to avoid any shell-to-mount contact. It was even taken to independently scientific testing, to make sure the concept worked. it showed the improvement in extended sustain, clean overtone spectrum and clearly defined fundamental tone compared to traditional mounting methods.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnatomy of a sound sustainer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSound Sustainers offer an integrated insulation\/mounting solution. Made of heavy duty composite Rubber that originated in the automotive industry, the insulation layer has a unique hexagon structure. It is combined with a metal prism clamp for extra firm grip. Sound Sustainers were prototyped using advanced Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology. It is a high end 3D printing process that allows to integrate complex geometries within the construction components straight away. Due to its integrated design, Sound Sustainers need minimal footprint for maximum sound enhancement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnd the sound goes on\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe new Sound Sustainer technology enables complete isolation between the metal mount and the wooden shell. This guarantees a particularly long lasting and clean decaying sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs a next step we wanted to find a drum mounting solution that would affect the resonance and sustain of a drum as little as possible while having a small footprint and great stability. Inspiration came from the automotive industry where vibration-control technology is used for engine mounting systems among others. What we developed was a unique concept of mounting toms and floor toms that ­integrates rubber insulation within the mount to avoid any shell-to-mount contact. Scientific re­search shows the considerable ­improvement in extended sustain compared to traditional mounting methods. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MusicToner","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50538948395171,"sku":"SQ1-1405-SDW-SPW","price":479.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/8299\/0499\/files\/4K0A8980.jpg?v=1790609444","url":"https:\/\/musictoner.shop\/products\/sonor-sq-1-5x14-snare-drum-satin-pure-white","provider":"MusicToner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
