SMD Ambitious MkII – Passive Decoupling / Damping HiFi Rack

Hifi equipment are highly sensitive to vibrations. The better the equipment, the more it suffers. Be it component resonances, sound waves or subsonic noise – whatever goes into the system degrades the performance. Hence, the traditional hifi stands try to damp these resonances only by utilising different materials.

We at THIXAR think the optimum solution is that absolutely no vibrations reach the equipment. So how do we achieve this? By optimum decoupling of the device with our special gel-based floating technology.

SMD Ambitious MkII – Passive Decoupling / Damping HiFi Rack

Hifi equipment are highly sensitive to vibrations. The better the equipment, the more it suffers. Be it component resonances, sound waves or subsonic noise – whatever goes into the system degrades the performance. Hence, the traditional hifi stands try to damp these resonances only by utilising different materials.

We at THIXAR think the optimum solution is that absolutely no vibrations reach the equipment. So how do we achieve this? By optimum decoupling of the device with our special gel-based floating technology.

The fact that high-end hi-fi equipment tends to show a highly sensitive response to whatever it is standing on is not a secret. Both solid-state and tube amps as well as analogue turntables can only reveal their full potential if they can do their work undisturbed by any vibration. Only then can you experience the sense of space, the dynamics and richness of detail in full audiophile splendour.

That is why we have developed the new SMD Ambitious rack system range, based on our highly successful Silence equipment base. In doing this, we focussed on isolating the surface on which the equipment stands from vibrations of the shelf beneath, thereby minimising the amount of external vibrations affecting the equipment.

In this new design, an advanced version of our unique gel base is used. The full area of the mounting surface is borne by a gel layer, which achieves a perfect damping of the mounting base in a way that is targeted towards eliminating vibration of the equipment itself.

Additionally every platform is separated from the bottom by 4 specially constructed decoupling elements. Their special design guarantees that resulting resonance frequencies are below 10Hz independent of applied load.

You will be amazed at how good your equipment can sound!
