TECHNICAL APPRAISAL OF THE USE OF “SOFT FEET” IN PLACE OF SPIKES AND SINGLE POINT ISOLATION SUPPORTS

The following link explains why the use of “soft feet” are superior to spikes and single point isolation supports when used under loudspeakers and other components.

It was written as background to explain the use of Sonic Design Audiophile Damping Feet, a Swedish product. It was drawn to the attention of Ringmat Developments by the Danish hi-fi company, Holfi, who found that the Sonic Design Damping Feet worked “miracles” when use in conjunction with Ringmat Feet and Statfeet.

Ringmat Developments believed that an even better product could be designed for use with Ringmat Feet in place of the Sonic Design Audiophile Damping Feet, and this gave rise to the development of Ringmat Domes.

Consequently, we believe the best support available for loudspeakers as well as other hi-fi and audio/visual components are the “soft feet” concept of Ringmat Domes used with Ringmat Feet and Statfeet.

At present, Ringmat Feet are designed to take weights up to 21kilos. Larger, extra heavy duty Ringmat Feet are presently under development to be used with the larger Ringmat Domes for heavier speakers and other equipment.
