True Point Audio Ltd's Adjustable
Acoustic Isolation
Feet are suitable for all Hi-Fi equipment particularly Turntables, CD players
and Isolation Platforms.
The purpose of
using isolation spikes is to decouple acoustic feedback from your speakers or
sub-woofer and other sources of extraneous vibration.
They are installed to
separate your turntable deck, CD player, amplifier or other audio components
from vibration. Therefore, the tones will be more focused and tighter.
The feet are spiked and fitted with Sorbothane pads which
further help isolate your Hi-Fi equipment from unwanted vibration.
Our specially designed and precision made Adjustable Isolation Feet will give a
much better performance to your Hi-Fi components.
The overall height of the assembled foot is 55mm, adjustable to 60mm high.
We now offer a new Adjustable Acoustic Isolation
Foot which is dimensionally the same as the ones shown in the photo's above, but
does not have the pink triangles machined into the base so appears as plain
black.
By not machining the triangles we have reduced
the time taken to produce the foot and as a result of this we can now offer this
foot at a much reduced price compared with the original model.
Fitting instructions: -
Please read the following instructions carefully before fitting the Adjustable Acoustic
Feet, we can not accept any liability for any damage caused to the turntable or
associated equipment, if you have any queries about fitting the Adjustable Acoustic
Feet
then please contact us before fitting them.
-
Later on you will need to turn the turntable upside
down, but first of all remove the cover of your turntable if fitted. Ensure
the the tonearm is secure and its counter weight removed. Ensure the table
suspension is secure and the platter is removed, also any other components
that may get damaged if not removed or secured when the table is turned
upside down.
-
Place the upturned turntable on two blocks either side
of the turntable (books can be used if you do not have any blocks). Make
sure that the blocks (books) do not scuff the turntable, and are of a sufficient height so that the upturned
turntable is clear of the bench surface, and that the tonearm if fitted will
not be
damaged.
-
When you are sure that no damage will occur when the
turntable is turned upside down,
-
Remove original feet if fitted.
-
Check location of where you want the acoustic feet to
be fitted, ensure the area is flat and clean.
-
Using a pencil, mark the position with a 40mm diameter
circle, you can use the flat part of the stainless steel spike to do this.
-
Peel off the thin dark green protective plastic cover on top of
the 40mm diameter x 4mm thick
Sorbothane®
rubber pad fitted to the stainless steel spike. This will expose the
adhesive.
-
Carefully place the stainless steel spike in the
centre of the 40mm dia' that you have marked, and press it firmly into
place.
-
Repeat this operation with the rest of the stainless
steel spikes, ensuring that they are all firmly in place.
-
Lift the turntable up and remove the blocks (books),
turn the turntable over so that it is the correct side up, slide the
acoustic feet under the stainless steel spikes, so that the point of the
stainless steel spike sits in the 'V' cup on top of the knurled knob. The
base of the acoustic foot is fitted with a 54mm diameter x 5mm thick
Sorbothane®
rubber pad.
-
Place a 'bull's-eye' spirit level close to the centre
of the turntable.
-
Adjust the knurled knob that is at the corner that the
spirit level shows as being lowest, turn the knurled knob anti-clockwise
(looking down on top of the foot) to raise that corner of the turntable so
that the bubble moves to the centre of the bulls-eye.
-
Repeat this operation with the other corner that is
showing as being the lowest.
-
Again repeat this operation until the spirit level
shows that the turntable is truly flat.
-
Now turn each of the knurled locking rings
anti-clockwise (looking down on top of the foot) until they nip the rubber
washer into the knurled nut .
-
The turntable is now level and acoustically isolated.
