We created the damping base in collaboration with ICTRA Design. They are the specialists for developing racks and damping platforms using the latest engineering development methods. These methods are based on optimally coordinated physical operating principles. The Thiele DB Damping Base uses effects like combining materials with very different densities and designing geometries to target natural resonances.
This picture clearly illustrates how different vibration sources of the turntable add up to a chaotic overall sound event. The following sources affect a record player:
The energy that causes the entire vinyl disk to vibrate during the scanning process should also not be neglected. This energy is transferred (transmitted) directly into the drive. The sum of all individual sources creates a very energetic, broadband mixture of resonances. Individual components of this mixture can be completely or partially suppressed in the record player itself by suitable measures. In addition, the transmission of mechanical vibration energy to the underlying base is optimised as far as possible by the hard-coupling spikes integrated in the turntable.
Integrated air/spring dampers specially adapted to the platform dissipate low-frequency sound components, while optimised density transitions between hard and soft materials dissipate higher-frequency sound components.The Thiele DB Damping Base has been designed to create a mechanical filter. Numerical simulations have been used to tune a large number of design features. The result is an extremely quiet and relaxed sound image that is largely free of interference components that distort the music signals.
