The Problem

Each piece of equipment is a vibration generator.

Our enjoyment of music is continually masked by vibrations, from the floor, loudspeakers and from internal mechanical and electrical devices forming part of the equipment itself; these include transformers, compact disc motors, turntable motors. Cables also play a much larger part in the vibration cycle than people realize.

So what is the best way to control vibrations?

Let’s isolate the equipment!

By isolating the equipment, we have captured and harnessed the vibrations we are trying so hard to reduce, these vibrations become intensified, and can be heard in the colouration and timbre balance of the music.

Let’s support the equipment on something solid!

Supporting your equipment on something solid does not deal with the problem regarding vibration attenuation, it only alters.

It’s important

The importance of controlling vibrations and resonance cannot be over stated, but is often not realised in most systems. Both of the aforementioned have the ability to rob music of crucial information, we can minimise resonance and vibration through material selection, engineering and interface design.

The solution

Engineering and sound quality are fundamental to Oriton and its design philosophy and the r33 is no exception, a well designed, constructed and finished high performance modular support system constructed from selected materials, each chosen for their unique properties.

Each of the optimal vibration cones that support the 20mm acrylic shelves allow the shelf to move front to back, side to side and rotationally whilst the cone remains in perfect contact with each frame level.
