In this promotional video filmed at the National Audio Show in UK, Mike Valentine from Chasing the Dragon and Rolf Ward from Henley Designs, Wax lyrical about their experiences using the Townshend Seismic Podiums under their speakers.
When creating our perfect audio scenario, attention will inevitable be drawn toward isolating the components from ground-borne vibration, thus insuring optimal musical enjoyment and less for the neighbours. Gerry has effectively Isolated his full Naim system including Ovator S-600s speakers by breaking the link between the floor and the equipment, freeing it from its inevitable […]
The Ear’s Jason Kennedy talks with Pete Thomas, PMC’s co-founder and owner about his home system: “I took along a Rega Saturn-R and a Townshend Seismic Platform by way of contrast.” “The Seismic Platform benefitted both players in a similarly bass extending, image solidifying, detail resolving fashion. A result that inspired Pete to mention […]
Over the entire weekend at the National Audio show, Townshend Audio demonstrated how the Seismic Podiums successfully isolate hi-fi equipment. Using two identical Android tablets with a seismograph application, visitors were invited to stamp the floor and see for themselves how remarkably well the Seismic Podium prevented their footfall from disturbing the seismically dampened readout. The […]
Suppose somebody popped the question: “What is Meridian’s MQA?”. How would you describe it? In a nutshell, it can be described a type of ‘MP3 for audiophiles’… because it encodes large (hi-res) digital audio into smaller-sized files that are no bigger than CD-sized files. Should the encoding become ubiquitous in mastering studios, music streamed to […]
Townshend Audio at The North West Audio Show. This demonstration caused a sensation at the High End show in Munich.

[…]

“Townshend Seismic Speaker Bars produce a result that goes way beyond what you might expect from ‘speakers on springs’. To get an improvement in absolute resolution, precision of timing and solidity of stereo image from something so apparently simple is extraordinary. These things really do change the game, move the goalposts, and revolutionise the way we should think about speaker […]
“Townshend has always sought to explain why his loudspeaker isolation products make so much difference, and this would seem to be a feasible answer. I have recently been trying Seismic Speaker Bars under PMC fact.8 speakers and have been shocked at the benefits that they accrue. The noise floor drops dramatically and the speakers ‘disappear’ […]
