Supplied direct from Townshend Audio NEW!! TOWNSHEND AUDIO Seismic Speaker Isolation Bars Size 1 Adjustable 264mm-415mm 10.4"-16.3"Inches FOR ALL LOUDSPEAKERS AND SUBWOOFERS. Price is for 1 SET OF 4 BARS complete with full original packaging and 5 years manufactures warranty.
Size 2 Bars available 420mm - 724 mm adjustable please about prices thank you!

The Seismic Bars add a mere 2cm to the height of a loudspeaker. This is important not just for obvious centre-of-gravity reasons, but because boundary proximity affects low frequency performance, so raising a speaker up too far will make for a leaner bass than originally intended.
PLEASE CONFIRM WHICH SPEAKERS YOU OWN SO CORRECT BARS ARE SUPPLIED THANK YOU.

TOWNSHEND AUDIO SEISMIC SPEAKER BARS

Townshend Seismic Speaker Bars produce a result that goes way beyond what you might expect from ‘speakers on springs’. To get an improvement in absolute resolution, precision of timing and solidity of stereo image from something so apparently simple is extraordinary. These things really do change the game, move the goalposts, and revolutionize the way we should think about speaker support. This is not an accessory… it’s an essential.

Product Description

Seismic Isolation Bars for Speakers and Sub-woofers.

Produce a wider and deeper sound stage.

Enhance clarity throughout the whole frequency range.

Improve bass definition.

Eliminate structure-borne feedback between the speaker and vibration sensitive equipment.

Allow for neighbour friendly high level listening.

Eliminate irritating boom caused by coupling through the floor to adjacent rooms.

Technical Specifications


Seismic speaker Isolation Bars are designed to break the acoustic connection between speakers and the floor, thus preventing the passage of unwanted vibration between the two. Used in pairs under any speaker , be it floor standing, or stand-mounted, including sub-woofers.
Because of the very compliant nature of the Seismic Load Cell, the speakers effectively float in the room at frequencies above 3 Hz. Each bar comprises a very strong steel cross-bar with raised ends under which are attached two Seismic Load Cells.
When installed you experience The Townshend effect, the sound improves dramatically, wider width and greater depth and becomes independent of the speakers. Bass becomes tighter and real, with thuddy boom eliminated. A major plus is that the sound of the speakers is no longer transmitted through the structure of the building so your neighbours can no longer hear your music.
Conventional so-called rigid supports (spikes or cones) aim to hold the speaker cabinet "still" at audio frequencies. However there will be a resonance set up by the mass of the cabinet reacting with the unavoidable springiness of the floor, which can cause vibration of the building structure in the audio band. Rigid coupling also transmits ground-bourne vibration into the speaker cabinet and thence to the speaker driver baskets where it is superimposed onto the music. By using Seismic Isolation Bars you will be able to enjoy your music at its natural volume,- as if you were listening to a live performance-without annoying the neighbours
To install, First remove any spikes or cones from your speakers and slip one bar under the front of the speaker. Then tilt the speaker forward and slide the second bar under the rear. Very small adjustments allow for setting the speakers vertical. Even though the speakers are floating, it takes a very big push to topple them.

Type: loudspeaker isolation system

Improving bass definition and eliminating structure-borne feedback between the speaker and vibration sensitive equipment, is only two of the ways that the Townshend Seismic Isolation Bars work to improve the audio quality from your speakers and subwoofers. The isolation bars allow for neighbour friendly high level listening and remove irritating boom caused by coupling through the floor to adjacent rooms.

Seismic Isolation Bars are designed to sever the acoustic connection between the speakers and the floor, preventing unwanted vibration passing between the two. They are used in pairs under any speaker whether it is floor standing, stand-mounted or a sub-woofer. Due to the exceptionally compliant nature of the Seismic Load Cells, the speakers effectively float in the room at frequencies above 3 Hz. Each bar comprises a strong steel cross-piece with raised ends under which two Seismic Load Cells are attached.

The Importance of Vibration Isolation

Vibrations affect the reproduction of sound through hi-fi systems. Although many of these are small and may go largely unnoticed, vibrations have a negative impact on the quality of sound in virtually all hi-fi components.

Turntables are highly sensitive to vibration, which raises the noise floor, degrading the sound not to mention stylus jump due to footfall.

With silver-disc players, vibration affects the laser mechanism and the crystal oscillators introducing severe sound-degrading jitter.

With tube or valve amplifiers vibration rattles the microphonic electrodes, especially the grids.

Transistor amplifiers have microphonic components, including capacitors and connecting wires which move relative to one and another generating rogue voltages. All of these mechanisms will degrade the delicate audio signal.

Computers, streamers and DACs are highly susceptible to mechanical noise as they all contain vibration sensitive crystal oscillators.

Rigidly spike or cone mounted speakers transmit energy into the floor radiating vibration throughout the room and ultimately, through your rack and into your equipment. This seriously degrades performance as described above. Spike and cone mounted speakers cause the whole room structure to vibrate, often resulting in an unrealistic boomy bass whilst masking subtle detail. Further, this unwanted structural vibration can seriously irritate your neighbours.

The Seismic Isolation Pod is a Seismic Load Cell™ with a circular foot attached to the lower end cap for stability. The length may be adjusted by turning the top end cap, which allows easy levelling of audio equipment placed on a set of Pods. There is a soft felt protective piece on the top and bottom faces of the end caps to allow for easy positioning and to prevent scratching.

The secret is to fully float your whole Hi Fi System independently from the speakers and the floor. Townshend have devised a complete solution that to allow this to be done in an optimum way.

Seismic Load Cell™

The key component is the Townshend Seismic Load Cell™. The Seismic Load Cell™ consists of a high quality alloy steel compression spring surrounded by a flexible synthetic rubber jacket with two end plates. Screw threads in each plate facilitate height adjustment and provide attachment points. A movement-sensitive, air-resistance damper rapidly dissipates low frequency oscillation caused by disturbing the suspended equipment. Seismic Load Cells™ are very ‘soft’ and allow free movement in all three dimensions; up/down, left/right and back/forth. This unique solution blocks all deleterious vibration from 3Hz upwards and from all directions. As the frequency increases, the isolation gets progressively greater, ensuring that virtually no vibration can pass from and to the suspended equipment. As each hi-fi component is isolated, the sound progressively improves.

Features / Benefits :
