Sound Reduction System Review – How it works and would I recommend it
You’ve reached our Sound Reduction System Review. Below we’ll be reviewing the Wispa Sound Reduction System and finding out if it delivers on its promises of a quieter darts setup at home.
We’ll also included some easy to follow instructions of how to setup up if you decide to invest in this bit of kit.
Normally when your darts hit the board they make a loud thud but the Wispa Sound Reduction System eliminates the kinetic sound transfer when the darts enter the board. All it takes is for you to look at the reviews or the videos out there, having the Sound Reduction System behind the Dartboard makes a massive difference if you’re in another room.
We’ve tested this Sound Reduction System and although it doesn’t make playing darts completely silent, it does make it very, very quiet. It won’t wake anyone up at night time or annoy your neighbours.
I would highly recommend this product as it does what it says and you won’t find another product in the world that can make your darts hitting the board sound so quiet in another room.
The Winmau Wispa Sound Reduction System consists of two main parts, namely a round disc to which your dartboard is attached and a large ring that you attach to the wall. The board your dartboard is attached to is stretched within this ring. Thus, your dartboard has no direct contact with the wall.
