HiFi Equipment Platform
Silence

The basic Silence perfectly meets one specific require­ment: absor­bing the vibra­tional energy of the device sitting on it with maximum effec­tiveness.

The internal struc­ture of the now third-gene­ration THIXAR Silence comprises several layers of diffe­rent materials that have different proper­ties. The combi­nation of these materials and their specific absorp­tion charac­teris­tics plays a key role in absor­bing detri­mental vibra­tions over a very wide range of frequen­cies. Thanks to the energy absor­bed by the transi­tions between rigid and flexible materials (Cons­trained Layer Damping), the absorp­tion band is extended upward, so that even high frequency vibra­tions are uniformly supressed.

As a result, integra­ted compo­nents are able to operate much more precisely. The benefits are wide-ranging: more precise repro­duc­tion through­out the play­back chain. A more expansive sound­stage with greater clarity and fine detail. A more faith­fully repro­duced low end with greater bass exten­sion. The posi­tive acoustic effects of THIXAR’s conti­nuously refined AVC techno­logy (Adaptive Vibra­tion Control) as used in the Silence have been quanti­tatively proven too.

The audio compo­nents that benefit most from the Silence are natu­rally those that generate a significant amount of vibra­tion, such as power amps, power supplies, and of course sub-chassis turn­tables. But the posi­tive effects of this THIXAR plat­form are also discer­nible with other hi-fi equipment, like CD players and non-suspended turn­tables. A Silence absorbs the vibra­tions generated by the hi-fi compo­nents them­selves and neutra­lises them, thus preven­ting trans­mission to neigh­bouring equipment.

To maximise the level of absorp­tion, the Silence should be placed in direct contact with the exis­ting shelf or rack. Moreover, this plat­form is the perfect comple­ment to a Serenity Plus rack system. Together, they consti­tute a top-quality rack that is both aesthe­tically and acous­tically harmonious.

The Silence is avai­lable in two sizes and a neutral colour.
