This set is viewed as a necessary component for optimizing the Macro 1's sound.
Know before you buy
The style options are tailored to your specific build requirements. The 'Hotswap' and '1u only' versions are designed to accommodate specific PCB layouts, while 'Regular' and 'Mirrored' options allow you to match the internal geometry of your specific Laneware Macro-1 configuration.
Yes, the foam is designed to dampen hollow resonance and vibrations within the case. By providing a more solid foundation, it creates a more consistent, muted, and refined bottom-out feel for your switches.
Installation is straightforward and requires no permanent modifications to your device. You simply disassemble the case, place the 3mm plate foam between the plate and PCB, and position the 2mm foam inside the bottom case before reassembling.
While you can choose to install only one, using both is recommended for the best acoustic results. The combination of plate and case foam works together to eliminate the maximum amount of unwanted resonance.
The foam is compatible with the Laneware Macro-1, but you should select the specific style—such as 'Hotswap'—that matches your PCB type to ensure the cutouts align perfectly with your switch sockets.
