MULTIMOUNT VIBRATION ISOLATION & DAMPING MOUNTS
EquaRack’s new design Multimount isolators are the best in class we’ve heard: they improve both speaker and audio source component performance from bass through to treble. Other brands may claim a wide range of weight compatibility (and we can supply those from stock) but the reality is that elastomer operates in a specific weight range.
The concept of tuneable suspension makes perfect sense. Optimal results require some calculation to get it close to the centre of that range. The specified weight of your component divided by 3 footers will give an approximate number of pellets required for each using either 1-lb or 3-lb pellet sets.
Since many amplifiers and other components have unequal weight distribution, weighing each of the 3 points of support with a digital bathroom scale enables fine-tuning the setup.
“The footers trade absolutes of transparency and hard edge for palpable solidity and textural definition. There was an analog feel with warmth, dimensionality, and incredible presence. The component was interpreting more information effectively and producing a convincing reproduction of the performance…
The EquaRack design has a superb level of immunity to contamination from low bass vibration. Nuances and power emerge unscathed and cohesive when faced with music that has a combination of deep bass, wide dynamics, and subtle information. Top-notch isolation performance.” sixmoons.com

New Design Multimount isolators
DESCRIPTION
Design & Technology:
The MultiMount’s innovative design is based upon well-established, irrefutable engineering science that is integral to vibration control in all major industries.
The MultiMount provides omnidirectional isolation because the Viscoelastic Pellets deform, ie; “bulge”, bend, tilt and twist in response to the supported load and to vibrational forces, allowing the Top and Bottom Discs to move independently.
In simple terms, if the supporting structure moves in any direction or in multiple directions simultaneously, the supported equipment remains relatively still or isolated because the MultiMount provides relative movement or compliance between the supporting structure and the equipment.
MultiMounts Are Superior:
MultiMounts, like no other competing devices or “isolation feet or footers”, provide user-adjustable, weight-optimized isolation for ultimate stereo equipment performance. They are precisely weight-matched to the component, making them the world’s only truly “universal” vibration isolation mounts!
Viscoelastics are weight sensitive. They perform poorly if they are under-loaded, or overloaded. A viscoelastic part provides optimum isolation, only within a narrow weight margin. Most competing devices and systems do not address this crucial issue at all. Some offer a choice of a few “standard” isolators or platforms to support an excessively wide range of equipment weights, which is a poor compromise. But even these “better” systems mostly ignore a second critical issue – that of component weight distribution.
Equarack Elastomer
DESCRIPTION
Technology:
In addition to isolation, the Pellets also provide damping of vibratory energy when they are deformed or “strained” by a process called hysteresis, whereby vibratory energy is converted into heat energy and dissipated. If a record turntable, stereo component, loudspeaker, or rack imposes disturbing vibrational forces upon the Mounts, the Pellets damp or minimize these forces. The proprietary material, size, and shape of the Viscoelastic Pellets are all vital to their extraordinary effectiveness. Each Pellet is a tiny “power-plant” of energy conversion!
Very effective component chassis or loudspeaker cabinet damping is provided by a heat-resistant Viscoelastic Coupler that is retained in the counter-bore of the Mount’s top disc in a constrained-layer design. This elastomeric (soft) interface also eliminates any possibility of “chatter” or “noise” often caused by the contact of two hard materials “excited” by vibration.
The Top Disc of the Mounts can deflect from the horizontal plane due to the elastomeric nature of the Viscoelastic Pellets and can thereby “self-align” with the chassis of a stereo component which is uneven or not plane. A second Viscoelastic Coupler retained in the counter-bore of the Mount’s base provides damping of vibratory energy in the structure that supports the Mount and minimizes the flow of energy into the Mount from the supporting structure.
MultiMounts, like no other competing devices or “isolation feet or footers”, provide user-adjustable, weight-optimized isolation for ultimate stereo equipment performance.
Many stereo components are significantly heavier either in the front or the rear or on one side and thereby will exert significantly different loads on the supporting isolators. A “weight-balanced” component supported by (3) isolators puts double the load on the single isolator as compared with each of the other two isolators!
