Once the Avatar Audio system achieved sufficiently high resolution, it turned out that the effective isolation of the system’s components from the vibration of the base and reducing their internal vibration are probably the most important condition of getting a State-of-the-Art sound. Our product lineup include anti-vibration RECEPTOR accessories: cable stands, weights, ball feet and platforms which use the magnetic levitation effect.
.
Cable Stands protect the signal inside the wires from the adverse impact of the deformed electromagnetic field around the cable when it lies on the flooor. They also izolate cable from static electricity and vibrations coming from the floor. Futhermore they supress the vibrations inside the cable. They bring the strongest effect when put under power cables and speaker cables due to the large surface area of their contact with the floor. They also improve the work of USB cables and interconnects. We recommend using 7-9 stands in the system.
.
Anti-vibration Weight placed on equipment reduces its susceptibility to vibrations coming from the ground, absorbs vibrations of the housing and increases the effectiveness of anti-vibration pads and platforms. In the case of light equipment set on a platform with magnetic stands the weight is necessary for proper operation (deflection) of magnets.
.
Ball Feet are one of the most active anti-vibration accessories and, what is more, one of the cheapest. They are incomparably better than hard spikes, spring feet and soft rubber or sorbothane pads, improving the operation of each element of the path: the electronics, speakers and even power distributor.
Feet No.1 and 2 consist of two equal discs (base and lid) and a ball. Feet No.3 and 4 doesn’t have the second disc (lid), they are cheaper version of higher models. Discs are made of our company’s material. Balls are made of hardwood selected after testing 9 exotic wood species and they work much better than ceramic balls.
.
Platforms are our best anti-vibration devices, they work even better than ball feet. We offer platforms in three sizes: small 35×30 cm, medium 45×40 cm and large 55×45 cm, we can make any size on request. The thickness of the body itself is 6.8 cm, the height of the set is 9.5 – 19.0 cm, the weight of the set is 7.9 – 16.4 kg. The standard color of the platforms is matte black, we can make them in any color upon request. The platforms have brass logo plates on the back.
The body of the platforms consists of 5 layers made of 3 types of anti-vibration materials. The two outer layers are made of our hard anti-vibration proprietary material. Inside there is a layer of exotic wood of medium hardness, separated from the rest by two layers of soft anti-vibration material. Together with the stands and feet, the platforms have 8 – 14 anti-vibration layers.
Platform No. 1 has magnetic stands underneath and on top. No. 2 has magnetic stands underneath and ball feet on top. No. 3 has ball feet underneath and on top. No. 4 has only one set of ball feet, underneath.
Magnetic stands lift the equipment on a cushion of air (magnetic levitation) – to work, they must be properly loaded (they must bend, but not settle). The small platform has smaller stands with weaker magnets, the medium and large platform – larger stands with stronger magnets. Underneath, the medium platform has 4 stands, and the large platform has 5 stands. Depending on the weight of the equipment, we use 3, 4 or 5 stands. Equipment that is too light should be loaded with a Receptor Weight or other weight. We place the stands under the platform in such places that they balance the (possible) uneven distribution of the weight of the device and we move them until they are equally bent.
