Isolation Platforms

Key components, particularly amplifiers, suffer compromised instrumental richness and detail due to resonance inherent in the coils of the transformers.

Core Audio Designs has developed an effective solution to isolating vibration. We use a unique manufacturing process with a variety of natural materials (lead, clay, and sand) trapped in a hollow core within a skin of hardwood. This design captures and mitigates resonance over a large range of frequencies without compromising the beauty of the furniture.

Using only the finest materials and wood joints, science and aesthetics are given equal footing in the potent Model “A” CLD v.2 (Constrained Layered Dampening) Isolation Platform. Core Isolation Platforms can be used for amplifiers, turntables, and even speaker stands for improved sonic purity and timbral integrity.
