AudiogoN Forums: High End Isolation - HRS, SRA, Active platforms

High End Isolation - HRS, SRA, Active platforms

I would appreciate any opinions on cost-no-object isolation strategies. I have highlighted several in the title, but would appreciate any others which may be lesser known and underappreciated.

Please state whether you have first-hand experience with the product. Very important if you went from one product to another due to an improvement.

Also, please disclose if you are a dealer, distributor, or representative for a product. I think dealers have valuable information since they are enthusiasts that typically choose products that are most enjoyable.

Thanks
Rob

Our Nimbus and Promethean isolation stands incorporate "selective frequency damping" and viscoelastic damping to "quiet" the top plate and other critical parts.

Our damping techniques address airborne and component generated vibration as well as residual structureborne vibration.

Nimbus is a 6 degree of freedom design with resonant freq. as low as 0.5 Hz.

NB - We design isolation and resonance control products.
