The E1X Isolation Base is a highly innovative design that eliminates noise revealing a new level of musical performance. It is manufactured from four different materials including a resonance control stage. The E1X Isolation Base is initially configured at HRS to optimize the performance of a specific component and can be changed in your home to optimize the performance of a different component at any time.
The E1X Isolation Base is designed with a billet-machined aluminum front trim, proprietary HRS-constrained layer damping plinth system, and very thick custom-pressed resin fabric composite top and bottom plates. The top surface of the non-resonant high-density plinth also has a scratch-resistant coating applied to the outer surface to preserve finish integrity. The low profile (3-inch height) design also minimizes space requirements and keeps the visual focus of your system on the components you have selected.
Every HRS Isolation Base model series can be set to either transfer and dissipate energy coming to and from the component or isolate the component from the supporting structure. Each HRS Isolation Base includes either our Broadband Isolation Feet (SF), our Low Frequency Feet (LF), or our Bi-Directional Noise Reduction Feet (G7). The selection of the footer type is made to optimize the performance of each component. You can also adjust or change the footer type on each isolation base at any time to keep your system at peak performance. Please contact your authorized HRS dealer or HRS to make the final footer selection to optimize the performance of your system.
SF: HRS Broadband Isolation Feet – Isolates components from below 20 Hz to above 40k Hz. Excellent starting point for tube amplifiers, tube pre-amplifiers, DAC’s, phono pre-amps, and many turntables. Select the proper component range from the chart below. For large amplifiers and turntables, please contact HRS for custom settings.
LF: HRS Low Frequency Feet – Isolates component from below 10 Hz to above 40k Hz. Use for non-suspended turntables and when subsonic content is present and presents a potential feedback issue with the system. They are also used for custom applications where they provide additional sonic benefits. Custom setup is required for each component.
G7: HRS Bi-Directional Noise Reduction Feet – Transfers and dissipates energy coming to and from the component. Used for solid-state power supplies, power conditioners, tape machines, vacuum pumps, solid-state amplifiers, and solid-state pre-amplifiers. These can also be used if you prefer not to deal with different load ranges or where the use of chassis noise reduction products is not desired or possible. The HRS G7 feet do not have any load limit and can be used for any component.
