Stack Audio AUVA Platform
STACK AUDIO AUVA PLATFORM VIBRATION ISOLATION SYSTEM ANNOUNCED
UK HiFi brand Stack Audio has announced the Stack Audio AUVA Platform, a new vibration isolation platform designed for use with turntables, amplifiers, DACs, streamers and CD players.
The new platform builds on the company’s existing AUVA particle damping and CSA (Custom Silicone Absorber) isolation technologies, previously used in its AUVA EQ feet products, and combines them into a full-size equipment support platform.
STACK AUDIO AUVA PLATFORM
According to Stack Audio, the AUVA Platform uses a hybrid approach to vibration control rather than relying solely on mass loading or constrained-layer damping methods commonly found in isolation platforms.
The platform incorporates 35 individually tuned AUVA damping cells housed inside a reinforced honeycomb wooden core positioned between two anodised aluminium plates. Stack Audio says the structure is designed to direct vibration into the damping cells, where energy is dissipated through particle interaction within the cells.
Supporting the platform are the company’s CSA isolation feet, which use a silicone-based air-spring design housed in a machined enclosure with micro-adjustment capability. Four sets of interchangeable feet are supplied to accommodate different equipment weights.
AUVA PLATFORM SPECIFICATIONS
The AUVA Platform measures 450 mm x 380 mm with a height of 34 mm excluding adjustment. Total weight is listed at 9 kg, with a maximum load capacity of 100 kg.
The platform can be used with equipment resting on its existing feet or connected directly via supplied coupling adapters. Threaded mounting points allow either three or four adapters to be fitted depending on the supported component.
STACK AUDIO AUVA PLATFORM PRICE AND AVAILABILITY
The Stack Audio AUVA Platform is available now. UK pricing is £1200 excluding VAT.
