STILLPOINT VIBRATION CONTROL PRODUCTS
The Ultra Riser uses a four-tier ball-bearing filter to
prevent any unwanted vibration from infecting components. It is
height-adjustable, and will dramatically improve the sound of your
components or loudspeakers. It's ideal anywhere in the system but most
effective under loudspeakers with the appropriate adapters.(Threaded
inserts available for any speakers).
Ultra 5
is a larger, more robust version of the Ultra. The Ultra 5 employs five
pockets of Stillpoints technology per unit for maximum stability and
vibration reduction. Using four Ultras under a loudspeaker and enjoying 4
pockets of Stillpoint technology, four Ultra 5 provide 20 pockets of
isolation under each loudspeaker.This is a massive improvement and
provides a drastic increase in the level of isolation.
Ultra Mini Risers
feature four full tiers of ball bearings that act as a filter system to
reduce the transfer of vibration. These newly designed devices, the
baby brothers to The Absolute Sound Golden Ear Award-winning Ultra
Risers, will deliver improvements like a greater sense of space around
instruments and voices, low-level detail retrieval, and microdynamic
shadings.The Ultra Mini can be used directly attached to the chassis or
usedwith the base it comes with. Height adjustability is .160" or a
little over 1/8"( .125"). The Ultra Mini is meant to be placed under
components that rest on a shelf. Three can be used to support a
component. Four will give another 25% in performance.
Stillpoints are perhaps the most sophisticated vibration control devices
ever designed and are based on a patented technology that is applied in
different ways and in varying levels of implementation among the
product family. This patented technology is an intricate structure
composed of ten internal components including Delrin, aluminum,
stainless steel, and an arrangement of tiny ceramic spheres that
dissipate vibration. Vertical vibration is dissipated by being converted
into horizontal motion, specifically the ceramic spheres pushing
against a circular array of flexible “petals.” and the vibrational
energy is then converted to heat.
Stillpoints will support the weight of virtually any component or
speaker you own. While they might seem expensive, once you hear what
they do for the sound of your system we know you will be impressed!
Stillpoints produce consistent improvements in clarity, articulation,
natural image size, and tonal color, all without tipping the frequency
balance of your system. You’ll hear your music more and your system
less, regardless of the performance level of your components and rack.
OPTIONAL THREADED ADAPTORS
The standard thread for Stillpoints products is 1/4-20. ( 1/4" diameter,
20 threads per inch). Adapters are available in a variety of sizes.
However, The Ultra can be made to a specific thread size in batch
quantities. All adapters are made of stainless steel. A thread
adaptability chart is on the Stillpoints web site.
