Reference Vibration Blocking Design Advantages:












FE vibration loss platform to platform












Vibration waveform modeling FE












































 

   Many external elements including jitter, vibration and shock constantly bombard your delicate pre-amp and signal processing pathways from other surrounding electrical components. Isolation is vital to faithful and perfect reproduction.

    Our meticulously designed products pay proper attention to the spacing and materials that are used, to reduce outside resonant variables. Audiav completely redefines "state-of-the-art" technologies used to control vibration, resonance, radiation, induction & interference. 

    "Audiav's ultra-isolation platform layers address several different attributes individually... with many vital systems working together to create an all-in-one ideal tweak. It seems that since 2001 Audiav has redefined the industry enough for competitors to continually attempt to copy nearly every aspect of the design. While the competition seems to struggle or create marketing smokescreens to look intelligent, Audiav honestly reshaped the industry by designing for the enthusiast first and not asthetics. Rough hewn and looking like a million bucks, it is the unique interaction, isolation and combination at each critical joint and layer that solidly places Audiav at the "top" of the reference food chain... by a mile or two."

    Antiresonant platform options combine the attributes of ultra mass loading (Granite) for platform-to-platform antiresonance and constrained balanced mass (Carbon Fiber) direct platform resonance individually. A perfect solution that can be tweaked for reference turntables and source transports.

World Reference Isolation & Anti-Vibration Control:

   Audiav's unique three-stage anti-vibration control assures you an anti-resonant platform without jitter and the associated problems. Layers of patented internal low-high-low mass layering includes multiple "floating" shock absorbing sheets between heavy metal element plates that work in true life environments. It can absorb interference related microphonics, jitter and vibration without typical bounce.

    Since normal products did not have the desired performance outputs under accelerometer scrutiny, Audiav took the route of contracting the World's most advanced scientists and engineers for unique, specialty formulations. 

Typical Master Signature (w/ CF & EMF++) Platform Layering Makeup**:
  • Nineteen layers of specially formulated urethanes
  • Six layers of specially impregnated HPL
  • Four layers of specially formulated viscoelastics
  • Three layers of specially formulated composites
  • Two layers of specially formulated neoprenes
  • Purified Iron-Carbon blended alloys
  • Powder plated ferrite
  • Aluminum sheeting
  • Copper sheeting
  • Tin sheeting
  • Mica sheeting
  • Asphalt copolymer sheeting
  • Lead heavy gauge plates
  • Fiberglass resin
  • Pure carbon mil ultraweave fiber cloth
  • Nano-crystalline film
  • Note: **other products we cannot disclose for intellectual rights

    Layering mid-mass, low-mass and high mass in a specific combination allows for ideal isolation gains and defines the benchmark reference piece. Other manufacturers confuse consumers with wild claims of magic spikes or solid mass platforms that never perform under testing. The most famous brands actually use false graphing and have worse isolation than most $100 racks found at any retailer. 

    Trying to replicate a genuine Audiav cannot be obtained by sandwiching the above materials... the way and distances of each material in relation to the next and others in the grouping allows for severe attenuation of every environmental concern that can be addressed.

    "Audiav is different... way different. Comprimise was never an option it appears the designers certainly prefer function over fluff... this is a serious unit built for serious enthusiasts..."

    It is no secret that low mass cannot support weight & high mass layers (while supporting weight) has a great tendancy to carry resonance. Audiav's solution is perfect and somewhat secretive. 

    Heavy materials are floating and suspended in thick layers of viscoelastics, urethanes and neoprenes result in higher attenuation and rejection losses compared to any competitive product at any price, period.


19-Layer Signature Shelf:

   We custom sandwich many anti-resonant layers of specialized shock absorbing materials, rubberized adhesives, composites, resins, elemental sheeting and plates.

The variable mass layering creates a precisely engineered anti-vibration and anti-interference platformed shelf.

High-mass Element plates serve a triple purpose as both frequency specific shields, magnetic saturation layers and decoupled floating mass platforms that easily dissipates complex jitter and resulting distortions.

Audiav floats repeating high-low-high-low-high mass layers for the ultimate in anti-vibration control.

Low Durometer Decouples:

   Our specially formulated low-durometer decouples add an additional antiresonant protection layer to the internal shelf layering. The unique blended fabrication processes of the decouples yield an extremely soft point that also holds massive weight loads.

This method isolates the frame and each shelf independently as the platforms are notched and standoff from the frame. This allows for a "soft" connection without spring and takes the framework and footers out of the vibration equation.

Dense & Inert Top & Bottom:

   Our unique composite material is extremely anti-resonant and is double reinforced with HPL layering for extreme durability, cleanup and rigidity.

Ultra-mass Granite and precision military specification Carbon Fiber versions provide greater isolation and supression benefits.

Rock Solid Framework Support:

   Our shelving finds a perfect home on a rock-solid rigid and adjustable frame. Leveling is done at the footing and at each shelf joint to maintain a perfect environment regardless of flooring inconsistencies.

   Audiophiles around the world outwardly praise the advantages proper dampening and control of vibration and microphonics can do to increase the quality of the audio and video reproduction from your existing equipment. We think that a 'no compromise' solution is exactly what your delicate equipment deserves... and, fondly dreams of. 

   Our designers addressed every need of performance shelf platforms including: superb anti-resonance with jitter resistance with heat dissipation, a high weight capacity, cross-talk prevention, ESD, EMF and magnetic gauss shielding with complete compatibility to all home audio and video components. 

Audiav's Signature platforms are the World's most advanced a/v shelving platform by controlling outside forces both in-bound and out. Read more here

   We pride ourselves on the vast noticeable improvement of imaging throughout your audio and video environment through our properly designed layered and shielded platforms and framework. Audiav customizable furniture is among the most versatile audio video furniture available anywhere in the world.
