ClimaCab Humidity Control

Introduction

Humidity control is one of the most critical aspects of a robust instrument care regimen, with both high and low humidity potentially causing irreparable damage to stringed instruments. The Acoustic Remedy Humidity Control System was designed after hours of research and development, resulting in a world class system that provides two-way, automatic humidity control with little maintenance. Precise, durable, and high quality components combine to deliver an exceptional environment for your collection. In addition to the Acoustic Remedy Humidity Control System, the patented Boveda Two Way Humidity Control Packets serve as a back up humidification source allowing you the peace of mind in the event of gaps in filling of the reservoir, extended power outages or time away from home, and as calibration tool by absorbing or emitting moisture as needed. With these two revolutionary approaches are used with our proprietary hermetically sealed interior, the systems work flawlessly to provide or remove humidty to the desired level of 45-55% that preserves stringed instruments for generations to come.

EASY TO REMOVE

  • Magnetized attachment allows for easy component replacement

Redundancy With Boveda

In addition to the Acoustic Remedy Humidity Control System, the patented Boveda Two Way Humidity Control Packets serve as a back up humidification source allowing you the peace of mind in the event of gaps in filling of the reservoir, extended power outages or time away from home, and as calibration tool by absorbing or emitting moisture as needed. In certain situations, the Boveda can properly humidify smaller ClimaCabs given that the ambient relative humidity in the space it will utilized in is within certain ranges.

2-Way Humidity Control Packets

  • Boveda’s patented 2-way humidity control continually responds to ambient conditions by adding or removing moisture to affect the enclosed environment and deliver the pre-determined RH (relative humidity) level printed on the pack

  • Packets available in the following RH levels: 49% (standard), 49% High Absorption (HA), and 72% Seasoning. Please elect at time of purchase if either the 49% HA or 72% is preferred over the standard 49%

  • A leakproof permeable membrane allows for the transfer of water vapor without causing damage to product or packaging through direct contact

  • The saline solution contained within the packets works on the simple principle that salts combined with water will naturally regulate humidity


Cedar Packet Holders

  • Holds 2 Boveda packets

  • For ClimaCabs Petite+ and larger, the packet holders are mounted to the backside of the left door frame. For Micro/Petite, the packet holders can be used anywhere within the ClimaCab; however, we recommend along the back wall at the floor

  • For use with our the 49%, 49%HA, and 72% Boveda packets

  • 2pk stacked dimensions (LxWxD): 5.5" x 4" x 1"


OPTIONS

Ducted Humidity Control

  • QUALITY COMPONENTS

    • All flanges, flex hose, clamps, and acccessories are HVAC grade
    • Accurately sized and trimmed to result in no air loss

    CUSTOM MILLED VENT PLATE

    • Precisely cut cover plate results in sufficient airflow into upper section

No Powered Humidifier

  • Humidify the ClimaCab using Boveda only
  • Recommended for climates with near perfect humidity year round
  • Options
    • No vent plate or hole in the floor of the upper section with Boveda Cedar Packet Holders on back side of door. Available for Petite+ and larger size ClimaCabs only
    • Vent plate and shallow box to house the Boveda Cedar Packet Holders. Available for all sizes.

Dehumidification Module

In order to use the Acoustic Remedy Humidity Control System as a dehumidification module, additional items are required to be purchased. Active dehumidification may be required during seasonal variations in ambient humidity or in regions where high humidity persists year round. Switching between humidification and dehumidification systems is simple, requiring only a few minutes initially. Ongoing maintenance of the dehumidification system requires very little time to keep it operating ideally.

HOW IT WORKS:

  • Dehumidifier consists of a separate reservoir, lid with high airflow fan, and 2 pounds of color changing desiccant beads
  • We remove the wick holder on the underside of the lid
  • The process involves removal of the humidification reservoir by disconnecting the 4-pin Molex cord and installation of the dehumidification reservoir
  • A quick change of settings on the smart controller and the system switches over to removing moisture
