“The Seismic Podiums become so fundamental to the listening experience that calling them mere accessories fails to give them enough credit.” Neil Gader – The Absolute Sound [ Full Review ]
SEISMIC PODIUM
BREATH LIFE INTO YOUR MUSIC
• Enhances clarity across the frequency range.
• Delivers wider and deeper soundstages.
• Improves bass definition.
• Reduced muddiness and smear.
• Makes transients clearer.
Seismic Platforms are available with seven different weight range capacities, varying progressively from less than 1 kg up to 200kg. The maximum load when using four ( 4) type “F” Load Cells is 200kg (440lb). For loads greater than this, simply add more Load Cells. Virtually any weight of equipment can be isolated. Each Load Cell is screw adjustable in height to allow for out of balance loads where the centre of gravity of the component is not near its geometrical centre. If the level balance cannot be achieved, then it is suggested to use additional Seismic Pods positioned under the Platform as necessary, to balance the load. For asymmetric components such as a valve (tube) amplifier with the transformers at the rear, different load capability Seismic Load Cells™ can be used to balance the load.
Especially designed to isolate individual components such as CD players, turntables, DACs, preamplifiers, power amplifiers, computers and streamers from deleterious vibration. The Seismic Isolation Platform includes a durable slim steel top plate that integrates unobtrusively under any hi-fi component. The acoustically dead constrained-layer damped plate combined with a Seismic Load Cell™ attached to each corner is the ultimate combination to absorb and isolate unwanted vibration, including structural, air-borne and that generated by the hi-fi equipment. The Seismic Isolation Platform is available in three standard sizes:
·Size 1 43x30cm (17×12″)
·Size 2 48x35cm (19×14″)
·Size 3 52x40cm (20.5×16″) Platform working height is approximately 40mm (1.5″) The Platform can be levelled by turning the adjustable Seismic Load Cell™. It is important to specify the weight of your equipment when ordering. Bespoke platforms are available for any size or weight of audio equipment.

“With lab results at, or very close to, the state of the art..” Martin Colloms, Editor of HiFiCritic Magazine auditions the new Townshend Allegri Reference Preamplifier. [ Full Review ]
Professional musician and audiophile Rafael Todes “recommends without question” Max Townshend’s new Allegri Reference. “I never tired of this preamp’s ‘revelatory’ quality; everything you play somehow sounds different to before… …gives preamplifiers at any price and of any type, an almost impossibly hard time in terms of sound.” [ Full Review ]
“Townshend Audio has long been the company that never does it the way you expected, but always does it right. There’s a deliciously left-field approach to Townshend Audio’s design criteria that sweeps aside convention and makes something at once different and brilliant. So it is with F1 Fractal, the latest in a long line of […]
“The Allegri+ is one of the most effortless and honest sounds you will ever hear, with a top end that is as crystal clear as fine cut diamonds and has a bandwidth that stretches on for days. Play any of your favourite music and try and work out where all the added bass comes […]
The thoughts of one of the many reviewers who enjoyed the Townshend F1 Fractal Interconnect. “On the heels of the ridiculously superb (passive) Allegri+ preamplifier (HERE), with its secret sauce…fractal wire…comes the introduction to America of Townshend F1 Fractal Interconnects. (There are speaker cables also, but I did not have them for review.) The interconnects are extremely […]
