Anti-Resonance Pad Carbide Audio Carbide Base Nano Diamond Black

Compact anti-vibration footer isolator with diamond ball races

The Carbide Base Nano Diamond is an anti-vibration audio footer with a ball-bearing isolator that brings the manufacturer's proven isolation technology into the smallest possible form factor. The Diamond version employs diamond bearing races combined with the high-damping TwinDamp™ alloy, purposefully suppressing the transfer of mechanical vibration between the supporting surface and the audio component. Sold in sets of three or four pieces.

At the heart of the design is a ball bearing with extremely hard, low-friction races. The high surface hardness of the races keeps the point contact stable even under heavy loads, while the low friction allows free movement in the horizontal plane and thus drains energy away from the component. Each Nano footer supports up to 55 kg (121 lbs), covering even heavier source devices, amplifiers or loudspeakers.

The combination of hard races and damping alloy contributes to effective isolation across a wide frequency range. Limiting vibration transfer into the chassis and boards of the component reduces microphony, which in playback translates into a quieter background, better legibility of low-level detail and more stable imaging of instruments within the stereo stage.

The Nano can be fitted with optional carpet-piercing spikes or a screw set for direct mounting to loudspeakers or audio devices. Besides the Diamond version, the model is also available in a standard variant with sapphire bearing races.
