Vertere SilenceR Isolation Feet

The Vertere SilenceR Isolation Feet are self-contained specialist equipment support pods, designed to enhance the performance of your record player. Combining a hard felt resistive coupling foot, a direct coupling ball and an isolation layer of Sorbothane.

From listening tests carried out with all Vertere record players, the addition of Silencer, especially when partnered with the Vertere Iso-Shelf, brought about an improvement to stereo focus, a reduction in background noise and greater LF resolution. The sort of improvement that a significant upgrade in MC cartridge might bring.

Silencer Support Pods can also assist with levelling, as there is approximately 5 mm of height adjustability in the design. The range of possible weight that Silencer can support is quite extensive. We have heard sonic benefits supporting the Phono-1 Phono Stage, which is relatively light, through to the RG-1 Record Player, which is heavy.

Vibration isolation is the process of isolating an object, such as a piece of equipment, from the source of vibrations. Vibration is undesirable in many domains, and methods have been developed to prevent the transfer of vibration to or within such systems.

Vibrations propagate via mechanical waves and certain mechanical linkages conduct vibrations more efficiently than others. Passive vibration isolation makes use of materials and mechanical linkages that absorb and damp these mechanical waves. Active vibration isolation involves sensors and actuators that produce disruptive interference that cancels-out incoming vibration.

The Silencer Support Pods by Vertere Acoustics are examples of passive vibration isolation systems, which have been designed specially for the high-end audio environment. Try them – you may be pleasantly surprised at the results.
