vibration control
Reduce unwanted vibration in audio, hi-fi, home cinema and AV systems.

Sonic Design Damping Feet are designed to isolate CD, DVD, HD-DVD, Blu-Ray, SACD and LaserDisc players from the surface upon which they are placed, which can help to improve the players tracking ability.

They can also be beneficial in terms of isolating loudspeakers from the surface they are placed (instead of spikes or pads). Standard Loudspeaker Damping Feet are now available in packs of FOUR, so that they can be used to dampen the vibration from a Centre Channel loudspeaker (if placed on a TV shelf and hence help to prevent vibration being transmitted to a video disc player).

If you are plagued with vibration which spoils your enjoyment of music and movies, then these could be your cheap and easy solution.

The CD Damping Feet are made from the same material as the Standard Damping feet. If the sound of your CD player (or other hardware) is sensitive to vibrations, the CD/DVD Damping Feet will be the way to go.

The sensitivity to shock and the accompanying mistracking will be reduced with the use of these feet. Damping Feet can be positioned either under the existing feet or can be positioned next to (but not touching) the existing feet.

They can also be used with any other audio product that you would like to isolate from vibration.

The set contains four small and one large foot. The large foot would be used if the centre of gravity is far off the centre (for instance, where a heavy power supply is located at one corner).

The weight classes are:
- 2-5 kg
- 5-10 kg
- 10-25 kg
(which relates to the total weight of the particular product). For heavier audio products, use the relevant Standard Damping Feet.

How about turntables?
Serious turntables should already have an internal floating chassis with a resonance much lower than the already low resonant frequency of the tonearm/cartridge combination.

The introduction of a third series decoupling resonance would fail unless it was lower than 1 or 2 Hz, so in most cases, Damping Feet would not help 'suspended/floating' type turntable designs.
However, solid, non-floating type turntables MAY benefit, but we have no experience of this at present (feedback is welcome on this topic).

Sonic Design Standard Loudspeaker Damping Feet

The Standard Damping Feet are somewhat thinner, have a larger overload margin, and are lower priced than the audiophile model. The resonance frequency is a few Hertz higher.

The colour is nut brown, except for the stiffest feet which are grey. The standard feet are produced in four different weight classes and do not need to be fine tuned to specific loudspeaker models.

The weight classes are:
- under 12 kg
- 12-28 kg
- 28-50 kg
- 50-100 kg
(which relates to the total weight of the specific loudspeaker cabinet).

These feet are supplied in packs of 4 pieces (for use with Centre Channel speakers) or in packs of 8 pieces (to suit a PAIR of loudspeakers).
