It replaces the factory-fitted feet or spikes and decouples the speaker from the supporting surface, to eliminate the distortion caused by vibrations and reflections.

The shape of the frame allows it to sit directly under the cabinet without interfering with the original feet of the subwoofer. It comes in the box ready for use: there is nothing to assemble, it is simply placed under the subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo choose, compare the dimensions of the stand with the flat bottom of the subwoofer, which should be the same size as the stand or larger; a few centimetres of overhang on each side are acceptable. The Aperta Sub has no height or tilt adjustment, which a subwoofer does not need, and is available in black only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOrientation and use on carpet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe isolators are directional: they resist lateral deflection and oscillation and should be aligned with the movement of the driver. The logo should therefore face forward, in the same direction as the driver; those who prefer not to see it can turn the stand through 180°. With side-firing subwoofers the stand works best turned sideways, with the isolators aligned with the driver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach box includes four Carpet Discs for use on thick carpet: they create a strong connection with the floor beneath the pile and give the stand a solid foundation.

The stylus tracing the tiny variations of the groove is a delicate system that is very sensitive to vibration: the Delos decouples the turntable from the furniture it stands on and dramatically reduces structural vibrations and resonances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mass of the block and the patented isolation work together: the result is a low noise floor that lets clarity and detail come through. The Delos is not only for turntables: it also suits other components, such as tube amplifiers, and is the recommended choice when the turntable has an external motor, because it keeps platter and motor at the same height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaple or walnut, two thicknesses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe block is available in maple, with a light amber colour, or in walnut, dark brown with visible grain. Both are hardwoods, also used in instrument making; maple has a Janka hardness of 1450. IsoAcoustics states the same performance for the two woods: the difference is in the appearance. The staves are selected by hand and every block has a pattern of colours and grain unlike any other. The surface is sealed with a urethane-based satin finish that resists stains and most solvents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach size comes in two thicknesses, 45 and 76 mm.
