Ultra-Quiet WD-40 Lubricant Valve for Film Sets, Theaters, and Recording Studios with Silent Actuation.
Product Description:
Silence is golden, especially on a live set or stage. Our
Ultra-Quiet Broadcast Valve is engineered for environments where
the slightest click, hiss, or rattle is unacceptable. This valve
features a proprietary damping system that eliminates the metallic
"click" of the internal spring and attenuates the initial spray
hiss to a near-silent whisper. It allows props masters, stage
crews, and audio-visual technicians to perform last-second
lubrication on camera dollies, microphone booms, or stage machinery
without disrupting a take or a live performance. The valve delivers
the same effective protective coating or penetrant power, but does
so with a level of stealth that makes it invisible to the most
sensitive microphones. For the entertainment industry, this valve
isn't just a tool; it's an essential piece of production equipment
that protects the integrity of the audio track.
Bullet Points:
Proprietary damping system eliminates the metallic "click" and reduces spray hiss.
Essential for use on film sets, in theaters, and recording studios where noise is critical.
Allows for last-minute lubrication of camera gear, booms, and stage machinery without disrupting audio.
Provides the same reliable and effective protective coating as standard valves.
The go-to tool for props masters, stagehands, and AV technicians.
Specific Application Scenario: During a live theater performance, a stagehand quietly lubricates a squeaky trapdoor mechanism just before an actor's entrance, using the ultra-quiet valve to avoid alerting the audience.
Factory Production Floor: Assembly requires manual insertion of specialized sound-dampening foam and a non-metallic, composite spring. Each valve is acoustically tested in a sound booth.
Packing and Transportation: Packaged in soft, non-rustling packaging. Shipped in boxes labeled "Studio Critical - Handle with Care."
FAQ:
Q: How quiet is "ultra-quiet"?
A: The actuation click is reduced by over 90%, and the initial
spray sound is dampened to a level that is inaudible from just a
few feet away, even with sensitive microphones.
Q: Is the spray pattern or force affected by the damping?
A: No, the internal damping only affects the sound-producing
components. The fluid dynamics and spray pattern remain consistent
and effective.
Q: Can this be used with all WD-40 products?
A: It is optimized for the standard multi-use product. Performance
with specialist formulas, which may have different viscosities,
should be tested prior to critical use.
Q: Is it more fragile than a standard valve?
A: It is equally durable for its intended use. The internal
composite spring is robust but should not be subjected to extreme
impact or disassembly.
Q: Do you recommend it for general consumer use?
A: While it works perfectly, the premium cost is only justified for
situations where noise is a genuine concern. For most home garages,
a standard valve is sufficient.
