Naturals are very
special feet for components and speakers.
They are made out of
American walnut, ceramic elements and felt pads. Ceramic has a very fast energy transfer.
The felt pads normally are dampening, but we vacuum impregnated them with a
very special lacquer that stabilizes them and turns the sound to tight but
convenient.
And American walnut gives the whole composition a very natural sound.
Super Naturals are very similar to Naturals, but internally more
elaborated.
It needs 80 steps until they are ready.
Sonically they have a similar signature as the Naturals, but play more open and
free.
Basic Ideas
Resonances are present in all Audio Equipment.
If we dampen it we do not only dampen resonances but also acoustic energy that
is needed.
If we isolate audio components resonances stay inside pretty long and destroy
the sound.
So it is a good idea to give them a way out of those components to let them go
to earth.
At this gateway it often comes to reflections between components and stands.
Here Naturals
one the one hand help to get rid of unwanted resonances in the components, on
the other hand avoid reflections from the stand.
Naturals are able to
„earth“ the components they carry in a stable but subtle way.
On the contrary cones reduce energy transfer by a small surface, and rubber
feet store energy and dispense it later again.
String concepts are another approach.
These may sound fine, but do not earth the components which often means that
sound is fine but without structure.
Results that you may
get by using Naturals Soundstage becomes
wide and open, voices and instruments are placed precise.
Expression of music is fine and subtle, intense but sonorous and colorful.
How to use Naturals Naturals are
universally useable under all audio components.
Starting at a CD player or a turntable, followed by the amplifier up to the
speakers.
Always use Naturals instead of the original feet, so that they may directly
couple the housing to the ground.
If the original feet are higher than the naturals, please remove them.
A set of three always has a good contact and so may transfer energy perfect.
If you have a component like a big amplifier with a heavy transformer at one
side, place one natural directly under this transformer.
Use two others at the other side, to bring the amp in balance then.
Naturals may be used in both directions.
Our preferred position of naturals is with the wooden surface to the bottom.
Care and maintenance Naturals are very
stable when you put a heavy weight onto them, but somewhat sensitive against
shearing forces.
Always place the components on them directly from the top.
A set of three is good for components up to 150Kg.
This makes them suitable also to be place under a complete rack, which is
sonically very recommendable.
