NEW CONNECTED-FIDELITY FLOAT ISOLATION PUCKS FOR ISOLATING AV AND HIFI COMPONENTS FROM VIBRATION

Connected-Fidelity’s Float range is designed for isolating HiFi and AV components.

It is well known that HiFi and AV components throughout the audio chain, from source components to loudspeakers, can be adversely affected by external vibrations, as well as by internal vibrations produced by the components themselves. Transformers, transistors, servos and motors all present a range of vibration challenges.

CONNECTED-FIDELITY FLOAT ISOLATION PUCKS

The principle underpinning Connected-Fidelity’s Float range is different to some products that feature rubber, silicones or springs. These isolators do not use compliant or damping materials, but rather an arrangement of ‘floating’ spheres held within two circular, cup-shaped channels. Within their rigid, anodised aluminium two-part body hides a bespoke ball race manufactured from chromium steel, in which a non-resonant material ‘cage’ holds the balls apart. Three POM spheres set into the top and bottom faces of each puck act as ‘feet’ to ensure stability. The Float puck’s design aims to make sure that vibrational energy is ‘spent’ in the micro-movements of these spheres without losing a direct connection path between the component and the surface on which it is placed.

COASTERS

Optional ‘coasters’, one of which is supplied as standard with each unit, can be incorporated above or below each Float puck. For use with loudspeakers up to 30kg, a set of speaker connectors is offered with threaded fixing options (M6 and M8). For loudspeakers over 30kg, a dedicated Float set, including all components and connectors, features chrome steel balls in place of the POM spheres to ensure no deformation over time under a heavy load.
