Isolation products that feature materials such as rubber, silicone and springs will dampen certain of resonances present in a system, however this often comes at a cost: the compliant memory of such materials means that they can add their own resonance character, the company says. At the same time, these materials tend to act as a "stopper", and so vibrational energy is reflected back, rather than providing an energy conduit or "sink" to dissipate that energy.
The principle underpinning Connected-Fidelity’s Float range is different. These isolators do not use compliant or damping materials, but rather an arrangement of floating spheres held within two circular, cup-shaped channels. Within their rigid, anodized aluminum two-part body hides a bespoke ball race manufactured from chromium steel, in which a non-resonant material cage holds the balls apart. Three POM spheres set into the top and bottom faces of each puck act as ‘feet’ to ensure stability. The Float puck’s design ensures that vibrational energy is spent in the micro-movements of these spheres without losing a direct connection path between the component and the surface on which it is placed.
Optional coasters (one of which is supplied as standard with each unit) can be incorporated above or below each Float puck. For use with loudspeakers up to 30kg, a set of speaker connectors is offered with threaded fixing options (M6 and M8). For loudspeakers over 30kg, a dedicated Float set, including all components and connectors, features chrome steel balls in place of the POM spheres to ensure no deformation over time under a heavy load.
Available in black or silver, Float isolation pucks are slim in design and crafted to sit discretely under your equipment. They are supplied in sets of three and four, with additional coaster sets also available.
