Anti-Resonance Pad Carbide Audio ViscoRing

ViscoRing™ replacement viscoelastic rings for fine-tuning the damping of Carbide Base isolation feet

The viscoelastic ViscoRing™ isolation rings are replacement damping inserts for Carbide Base audio isolation feet. They let you match the degree of vibration damping to the exact weight of your component, so the isolation system always works within its optimal load range — whether it carries a lightweight DAC or a massive power amplifier. Sold individually, which makes replacing and mixing them as needed refreshingly simple.

Five load-rating variants are available, with the stated figures calculated for a set of four feet:

• Super Light up to 13 kg (30 lbs),
• Light up to 27 kg (60 lbs),
• Medium up to 54 kg (120 lbs),
• Heavy up to 108 kg (240 lbs)
• Super Heavy up to 453 kg (1000 lbs)

Choosing the right insert hardness ensures that the viscoelastic material operates within its effective deformation range.

Precisely matching the ring to the component's weight increases the effectiveness of mechanical isolation, reduces the transfer of shocks from the shelf into the chassis and contributes to a quieter background and a more stable soundstage. When you change your system or move the feet under a different device, you simply swap the insert instead of the whole isolation element.
