Perfect resonance transfer with the CERABALL by finite elemente
For a number
of years finite elemente has enjoyed a reputation as a manufacturer of
high quality audio furniture, combining sound-optimised construction with
functional design in its own unique way. To improve the sound quality
of top-class audio components even more, finite elemente has now developed
a special interface element, known as the Ceraball, that ensures a perfect
coupling of the components with the rack system. Four Ceraball elements
are placed below the component chassis to couple it directly to the shelving
of the rack.
Many hi-fi manufacturers fit their components with equipment feet that
often tend to worsen the sound quality, for example by overdamping and
energy loss. The Ceraball elements get round this problem by coupling
the equipment chassis directly (and not via the component's own feet)
to the rack system. This enables a highly effective dissipation of the
resonances.
The centrepiece of each Ceraball element is a precision machined ceramic
ball, that carries off the resonance at the component chassis via an aluminium
supporting capsule and transfers this quickly to a base that is also made
of aluminium. The large surface area of the base ensures optimum contact
to the rack. In this way the Ceraball underscores the effect of a resonance-optimised
rack system.
To achieve an optimum sound experience finite elemente recommends its
Pagode and Spider rack systems, that offer an intrinsically resonance-neutral
environment for the audio components and can therefore neutralise all
arising resonances better than conventional racks. The Ceraballs ideally
complement the Pagode and Spider systems. The interface elements (price
for a set of four: 90 Euros) are available in silver and black - in a
version suitable for all components and one specially designed for the
Spider rack system. finite elemente claims that their use results in a
soundstage that not only becomes clearer and more dynamic, but also offers
more detailed information, improved contours and more musicality.
