The sound enclosure for the ViewPlus Columbia is a noise-reducing cabinet that the braille embosser sits in while it embosses. The enclosure brings the noise down to max. approx. 60 dB(A), so the Columbia can stand in an office, a classroom or a library without disturbing the people working around it.
Why a sound enclosure?
- Much less noise: a braille embosser makes about 70 dB(A) of noise while embossing. Inside the enclosure the level comes down to max. approx. 60 dB(A) – and 10 dB less is perceived as roughly half as loud.
- The embosser can stand where you work: no separate printer room is needed, and the person printing can stay at their desk.
- A better working environment: fewer interruptions for colleagues, pupils and library users – even during long print jobs.
- Less dust: with the lid closed, the embosser is protected when it is not in use.
How the enclosure is built
- A lid that stays open: the lid opens upwards by the handle and stays up by itself, so you have both hands free for paper and embosser.
- Sound-absorbing lining: the inside of the enclosure is lined with sound-absorbing material that takes up the noise from embossing.
- Fan: a fan in the side panel keeps the air moving while the embosser works.
- Paper comes out at the front: the continuous paper is fed out through an opening in the front, so you can take the printouts without opening the lid.

Choose the right enclosure
ViewPlus makes sound enclosures for the Columbia, Delta and SpotDot. The enclosures are not the same, so choose the one that fits your embosser:
| Embosser | Enclosure | Size (W × D × H) | Free height for the lid |
|---|---|---|---|
| ViewPlus Columbia | Sound enclosure for ViewPlus Columbia (this page) | approx. 78 × 55 × 30 cm | approx. 53 cm |

Before you order
- Measure the space: the enclosure takes up approx. 78 × 55 cm, and you need approx. 53 cm of free height above it to open the lid.
- The surface: place the enclosure on a stable table or printer stand that can carry both the enclosure and the embosser.
- The embosser is not included: if you do not have a Columbia yet, you can order the ViewPlus Columbia together with the enclosure.
Frequently asked questions
How much does the enclosure reduce noise?
With the embosser inside, the noise level is max. approx. 60 dB(A). Without an enclosure, a braille embosser typically makes about 70 dB(A) while embossing.
Can the embosser run with the lid closed?
Yes, that is the idea. The embosser works with the lid closed, and the printouts come out at the front, so you only open the lid to load paper.
Does the enclosure fit other embossers?
The enclosure is made for the ViewPlus Columbia. There are separate enclosures for the ViewPlus Delta and Delta 2 and SpotDot. If you have a different embosser, write to us at info@inva.store.
