If you have floorstanding loudspeakers and would like to get very best performance out of them the first thing that you will want to do is mount them on Sound Anchor Bases. In addition to elevating your speakers slightly Sound Anchor Bases control the flow of energy into your floor and control cabinet vibrations so that you can not hear them. This clears up all kinds of artifacts that are usually blamed on electronics.
By allowing only the air to be stimulated by your speakers a much more linear sound field is produced. The highs are more pure , the mids are more clean, and the bass becomes more full and less one note in nature. The transient response of your system will be improved enormously. Music will sound less attached to your speakers and more natural.
Sound Anchors makes three basic styles of bases for floorstanding speakers. All of them are designed to be the best possible foundation for your speaker. We have developed several different strategies for resonance control in our products over the years. Our latest generation of floor standing bases incorporate all that we have learned. We increase the footprint size for stability, we spike them at the floor to mass load and further stabilize the system, and we fill the bases with various proprietary materials to absorb and control system energy.
So whatever floor standing loudspeaker you may have a Sound Anchor Base will dramatically improve your systems performance bottomed to top.
If we do not already make a base for your speaker we can custom-make one for it. An example of each of our three styles is shown on the side of this page.
TYPE 1. Platform Style Base, like the Aerial Model 8 Bases
TYPE 2. Cradle Style Base, like the B&W 803 SII Bases
TYPE 3 Tee Style Base, like the Vandersteen 2Ce Bases
CUSTOM SUBWOOFER BASES
Sound Anchors will make custom bases to fit your subwoofer. A solid massive base will improve the bass performance of your subwoofer by stabilizing it and reducing the energy transfer to the floor. These improvements will be heard as tighter more linear deep bass. Transients will be more natural and "one note" bass will be substantially reduced.
Our subwoofer designs are based on the same three designs that we use for floor standing speakers. We usually add extra members to sub bases to better handle the low end energy.
Sound Anchor Bases for Floor Standing Speakers are available in three basic designs and can be configured to fit a wide range of speakers. Since they can be configured in so many ways these prices are to be used only a rough guide.
