NODE SS-1 EQUIPMENT SUPPORT SYSTEM LAUNCHED

The Node SS-1 Equipment Support System has been “engineered to increase performance from your electronics”.

The Node SS-1 Equipment Support System from the British HiFi brand, known for their innovative loudspeakers, has been developed to be “the most effective upgrade to your existing system” Node Audio tells us.

NODE SS-1 EQUIPMENT SUPPORT SYSTEM

More than just isolation, each SS-1 ‘puck’ contains a combination of Stainless Steel, ceramics and polymers, working in unison to limit, control and capture micro-vibrations and stray magnetic fields from electronic equipment like transformers, power conditioners, connection blocks, power supplies, streamers, DACs, and amplifiers.

PIVOTING HEAD

Their pivoting head allows “perfect contact to the underside of equipment for maximum energy transfer” says Node. “It may be optimally positioned under sound-sensitive internals like power transformers, clocks, capacitors and transport mechanisms. Including HDD, CD sleds etc. both as a vibrational drain, but also to focus stray magnetic fields, that may otherwise leech across other internals. Their (SS-1) internal geometry in turn helps prevent unwanted environment-borne vibrations from travelling back into the system”, Node claims.

ISOLATOR ECOSYSTEM

As the name suggests, Support System 1 forms the basis for an ecosystem of accessories built around the isolators. Its screw threads provide expansion opportunities, including spider rack brackets, cable risers and carpet spikes, with more planned for the future.

NODE SS-1 EQUIPMENT SUPPORT SYSTEM PRICE

The Node SS-1 Equipment Support System is available in sets of three or four. Prices start from £810 per set.
