High-end and hi-fi systems are a combination of high-precision and fragile devices. Perfectly attuned with each other, they are capable of playing back music in outstanding quality. To ensure that all components can work without interference, just like sensitive measuring equipment they need to be protected as far as possible against vibrations and shocks. Vibrations occur in various ways and can be transmitted by structure-borne or airborne sound. The combination of airborne and structure-borne sound mechanically stimulates all components in the hi-fi chain to vibrate. Studies show that this has a considerable impact on the sound. This Referenz absorber set provides a solid basis for sound without these vibrations. The absorbers have a special high-tech gel at their core which absorbs the vibration energy. For optimum decoupling of the devices and speakers the set includes twelve gel pads for different weight classes.
High-end and hi-fi systems are a combination of high-precision and fragile devices. Perfectly attuned with each other, they are capable of playing back music in outstanding quality. To ensure that all components can work without interference, just like sensitive measuring equipment they need to be protected as far as possible against vibrations and shocks. Vibrations occur in various ways and can be transmitted by structure-borne or airborne sound. Such problems can be remedied by the use of so-called absorbers. The Exzellenz gel absorbers have a special gel mixture at their core that absorbs vibration energy. This allows you to decouple speakers and devices from the floor. You may think that decoupling the speakers in this way will suffice. However, as described above, there is also airborne sound, which agitates the surfaces of the devices. It is therefore a sensible measure to also decouple the devices from where they are standing. The same advice naturally applies to devices (such as CD players or hard disks) that generate their own mechanical vibrations. Such vibrations need to be prevented from influencing other components.
Shock absorbers made of a specially developed rubber compound for effective vibration damping across a broad range, for sensitive hi-fi devices such as CD players, record players, amplifiers or shelf speakers. In addition, the damping feet are also ideal for acoustic decoupling of computers or games consoles because drive noises are no longer transmitted to the locations on which the devices are standing.
The Exzellenz Bolide shock absorber consists of a special rubber compound and an elaborate lamella design for optimum damping of vibrations between devices and the locations on which they are standing.
The sub-absorber is made of a special rubber compound for optimum damping of vibrations between the devices and the locations on which they are standing.

The Premium digital audio/video cable with a solid copper core conductor and double shielding is designed for connecting streaming devices, CD or Blu-ray players to an AV receiver or an audio DAC (digital-to-analog converter). It is also suitable for transmitting analog video signals. Wave impedance: Wave impedance is the most important parameter for cables that transmit high frequencies sand digital information. It results from the geometry of the cable and the dielectric constant of the dielectric used. The wave impedance is precisely adapted to the respective application in order to avoid reflections in the cable. This is the basic prerequisite for fast and error-free transmission of digital information and authentic reproduction. Gold-plated contacts: Surfaces are always rough when viewed under a microscope. The effective contact surface is thus reduced to the "peaks" on the respective surfaces. Gold is a very soft material that evens out tiny irregularities, increases the contact surface and reduces undesirable transition resistance. In addition, the precious metal gives the contact surfaces long-term protection from corrosion. Shielding: EMC interference, from sources such as mobile phone and WiFi networks, is constantly increasing. A dense (e.g. multi-layered) shielding is necessary to protect sensitive signals from this interference, so preserving the fine details.
The Star digital audio/video cable features a highly flexible design with dense spiral shielding and gold-plated connectors. It is designed for connecting streaming devices, CD or Blu-ray players to an AV receiver or an audio DAC (digital-to-analog converter). It is also suitable for transmitting analog video signals. A crucial factor for cables that transmit high-frequency digital information is the wave impedance. This value depends on the geometry of the cable and the dielectric constant of the dielectric used. Precise adjustment of the wave impedance to the respective application is essential in order to avoid reflections in the cable. This is the only way that digital information can be transmitted quickly and error-free, enabling authentic reproduction. Because surfaces always appear rough under the microscope, the gold plating of the connectors plays a decisive role. This roughness means that the effective contact area is reduced to the touching "peaks" of the surfaces. A very soft material, gold evens out these tiny irregularities, increases the contact surface and reduces undesirable transition resistance. In addition, the precious metal gives the contact surfaces long-term protection from corrosion. The cable adheres to the conventional coaxial design in which the "hot" signal conductor is located in the center and is protected by an enveloping shield that also serves as return conductor for the signal. This tried-and-tested design is suitable for a wide range of applications, and ensures that your audio and video transmissions are of the best-possible quality.
Interconnect Cables: Unlock Your System's True Potential
