Many devices suffer from microphony. Controlling the transmission of vibrations either from or to equipment can result in worthwhile musical performance improvements.

Vibration transmission from speakers to Record players and amplifers can be significantly reduced and provide substantial improvements.

Even when resonance occurs, it can be damped and stopped more effectively.

Stable installation greatly reduces unwanted cabinet movement. Extremely important in ensuring the drive units are pushing the correct amounts of air.

Low center of gravity design

The spike connects to the top of the silent mount plate at the bottom of a conical recess. the centre of gravity of this recess has been designed to offer the lowest centre of gravity within the body of the silent mount. The lower this centre of gravity the more stable the interface.

In order to absorb this ringing the addition of an internal ring manufactured from a different material (Resonance Cancellation Ring ) is bonded onto the underside of the top spike supporting plate.

All aspects of the matching and geometries have been developed through repeated research on materials and shapes.

This creates double structure that cancels out the material resonance. It has both “Strength” and “Vibration damping” to firmly support the spikes.

We believe that adding SilentMounts to your support systems will further help you to bring out more of the original expression that the performer wanted to convey, from the biggest most dynamic sounds down to the most delicate reverberations.

For speakers

When working with speakers (obviously a large source of vibration) the silent-mount requires a wider diameter both to support the speaker properly and absorb the high levels of vibration being generated by the speaker. → SM-7X

For rack, player and amplifier

At the equipment support it is important to limit the amount of vibration that reaches the equipment. This is especially important when using a record player as the source. These silent mounts therefore have a much smaller diameter and are optimised differently. → SM-5X, SM-5TX, SM-3TX

When using for a rack, record player, or amplifier, on to if the installation surface is a relatively hard surface such as wood flooring, stone, or an equipment shelf board, attach a felt sticker as this will perform better as well as offering further protection to the surface.

When the rack is being installed on a carpeted surface, we do not suggest using the floor protectors.

When using with a speaker / speaker stand, the best results are obtained without the floor protector whatever the floor covering.
