Stands Carbide Audio Stainless Steel Spikes

Precision isolation spikes for stable mechanical grounding of components on carpeted floors

Carbide Audio isolation spikes are an accessory designed for Carbide Audio isolation feet, where they provide a stable mechanical link between the component or loudspeaker and the floor. Their primary purpose is to penetrate carpeting, which otherwise prevents a firm and well-defined seating of the system.

The spikes are available in two material versions. The stainless steel version is intended for mechanical grounding, i.e. draining energy from the component into the substrate through a rigid, precisely machined interface. The alternative made from the high-damping TwinDamp™ alloy works differently – the internal damping of the material converts mechanical energy into heat and thus further suppresses unwanted resonances.

The choice of material therefore directly influences the character of vibration transfer within the system. A firm connection through the spike reduces uncontrolled movement of the chassis on a soft surface, which contributes to a more stable soundstage and a more legible bass range; the damping TwinDamp™ alloy additionally limits the transfer of resonances back into the component.
