Product: Fat Padz Fat Padz are convenient in situations where a full platform isn't practical. Their 7/8" (2.2 cm) height is enough to bypass most existing equipment feet, and should be used to directly support the metal chassis of active components.
By coupling directly to the equipment chassis, Fat Padz damp excess mechanical energy from the component's structure, dissipating it as heat. By providing a non-resonant, non-compliant mechanical ground connection which simultaneously dissipates energy as heat (an important distinction to make over ordinary footer devices), Fat Padz reduce background noise induced in the electrical pathways of electronic and electro-acoustical devices.
Fat Padz also provide isolation from vibration originating in the support surface, such as a floor or rack shelf. They are very effective with loudspeakers, and can improve overall loudspeaker distortion levels by reducing intermodulation distortion caused by the reflection of mechanical energy to the drivers from the speaker cabinet. |
