Silverstone Component Isolation System
Despite the possibilities of surprise and improvement,
most people shy away from what is new and innovative.
The Silverstone is for those rare individuals who are
excited by what is technically advanced and innovative.
The NEW Silverstone Component Isolation System
is the most effective and efficient audio isolation design
available at any price. The Silverstone attenuates
vibration across the entire audio frequency bandwidth
and beyond. The new Silverstone has a much lower
natural frequency than any of our competition. This
means it isolates much better than any of our competition.
It’s a simple and unassailable fact…although we know
that won’t stop the competition from making things up.
No other isolation product even comes close to the levels
of energy attenuation the Silverstone achieves. The
Silverstone attenuates energy even at 20Hz and below.
By utilizing specifically tuned dampers which have a
natural frequency near 10 Hz we significantly isolate your
components from even low bass energy. Our design is
even more efficient in the mid range and upper octaves
and offers high percentages of vibration attenuation all
the way to 20KHz.
Silverstone Component Isolation Systems Key Features and Benefits
- Infinitely adjustable shelves - add or subtract shelves at any time and each shelf is infinitely adjustable for position and spacing.
- Reconfiguring or replacing individual shelf dampers takes owner’s only minutes.
- Dampers can be adjusted in minutes for specific individual corner weight loading by the user.
- Attenuates large percentages of both air borne and floor borne energy across the entire audio bandwidth.
- Chassis frames feature multiple internal structural dampers.
- Shelves are suspended via 6 degrees of freedom design for maximum isolation.
- Individual corners of each shelf can be precision leveled, in addition and separate to overall unit leveling capability.
- Shelves can be independently leveled via precision threaded links.
Silverstone is the only design on the market with the superior features and capabilities listed above.
- Columns are available in two standard colors – Satin Black Texture or Silver Metallic Gloss Finish.
- Custom colors are available by special order at a modest charge.
- Our legendary Monaco Modular classic design is fully upgradeable to the new Silverstone design.
- APEX footers w/leveler interface and silicon nitride balls (normally an upgrade) come standard with the Silverstone & Silverstone F1.
- 2 stage visco-elastic dampeners with standard maximum allowance of 150 lbs.
Silverstone
Clear
This is our entry level version featuring clear
acrylic shelves without carbon fiber.
Available at much lower cost, it can be fully
upgradeable to the higher performance
version Silverstone.
Silverstone
Featuring carbon fiber/Kevlar structures with
separate acrylic shelves, two stage damping,
APEX footers with levelers and silicon nitride
balls are standard.
Silverstone F1
The ultimate in construction…
carbon fiber/Kevlar structures with Formula
Shelves, two stage damping, and APEX
footers with /levelers and silicon nitride balls.
Upgrading a Classic Monaco Modular Isolation System to a Silverstone Component Isolation System
- Pricing for this upgrade does not include Apex feet and levelers.
- This upgrade pricing is dependant upon the return of an original Monaco unit for rebuild into the customers Silverstone unit.
Please note that this version Silverstone is slightly different than the totally new Silverstone because the carbon fiber part from the original Monaco Modular Isolation System is not the same construction as the new Silverstone. Outwardly the appearance is nearly identical but the performance is slightly less due to the difference in the carbon structure. Specifically, the Silverstone uses a carbon fiber structure which features the use of Kevlar laminate in addition to the carbon fiber.
- The Monaco must arrive to the Grand Prix Audio factory in undamaged condition to qualify for rebuild into a Silverstone upgrade unit.
- Shipping will be at the dealer/customer responsibility and expense.
Superior Engineering
Each shelf corner is suspended via
proper six degrees of freedom design.
No other product offers this
fundamentally correct design
architecture. Utilizing a carefully
designed super rigid, high mass, custom
aluminum extrusion allows total freedom
in shelf quantity and placement.
Precision Adjustability
Each shelf corner can be independently
leveled in separate macro and micro
adjustments, in addition to overall unit
leveling capability. No other product
offers this ease and precision in leveling.
Custom Molded Dampers
By utilizing specifically engineered
custom molded primary dampers
featuring a natural frequency
near 10 Hz we significantly isolate
your components from even low
bass energy. Two stages of visco
elastic damping provide
unparalleled vibration absorption.
APEX Footers
APEX footers with levelers are used
underneath your stand to decouple
it from the floor which transmits
high amplitude vibrations from your
loudspeakers.
