Description

• Ultra thin platform disappears under equipment
• Enhances clarity across the frequency range
• Delivers wider and deeper soundstages
• Improves bass definition
• Reduced muddiness and smear
• Makes transients clearer

The Seismic Isolation Platform is available in three standard sizes:

Size 1 43x30cm (17×12″)

Size 2 48x35cm (19×14″)

Size 3 52x40cm (20.5×16″)

Platform working height is approximately 40mm (1.5″)

The Platform can be levelled by turning the adjustable Seismic Load Cell™.

It is important to specify the weight of your equipment when ordering. Bespoke platforms are available for any size or weight of audio equipment.Seismic Platforms are available with seven different weight range capacities, varying progressively from less than 1 kg up to 200kg.

The maximum load when using four ( 4) type “F” Load Cells is 200kg (440lb). For loads greater than this, simply add more Load Cells. Virtually any weight of equipment can be isolated.

Each Load Cell is screw adjustable in height to allow for out of balance loads where the centre of gravity of the component is not near its geometrical centre. If the level balance cannot be achieved, then it is suggested to use additional Seismic Pods positioned under the Platform as necessary, to balance the load.

For asymmetric components such as a valve (tube) amplifier with the transformers at the rear, different load capability Seismic Load Cells™ can be used to balance the load.

We suggest, for reasons of ease of set-up and loads that are not equally distributed, that consumers always select the stronger Load Cell where two values overlap in the graph below.

For example, when using four (4) type “C” Load Cells, the maximum supported weight should be equal to or less than 52.4 Kg.

Jason Kennedy reviews the Townshend Seismic Isolation Platform under the Rega RP6 Turntable, a Leema Antila CD Player & Naim UnitiLite Massive increase in stereo three dimensionality, sound is clearer” A degree of hardness has disappeared and left a stronger sense of timing. “Bass goes deeper” Voice has regained its full richness, Quite a transformation in truth, and one that you’d be hard pressed to replicate with any similarly priced upgrade. The Townshend Seismic Platform seems to be able to transform the potential of electronic components as well as, if not better than turntables. What is clear is that few hi fi components give their best without isolation and the platform delivers as much in a neat and effective package and comes highly recommended.

This Seismic Vibration Isolation Platform from Townshend includes a durable slim steel top plate that integrates smoothly under any hi-fi component. This platform is especially designed to isolate HiFi components such as CD players, turntables, DACs, preamplifiers, power amplifiers and streamers. The acoustically dead constrained-layer damped plate combined with a Seismic Load Cell attached to each corner is the ultimate combination to isolate unwanted vibration, including structural, air-borne and or generated by the hi-fi equipment.
