Kinematic and dynamic properties of BBS enable isolated masses to ‘float’ sideways relative to the system axis, maintaining point support at the same time. Furthermore, BBS makes it possible to level the platform.
The platform is designed for high-end components. Its structure has been tuned by combining several materials: MDF, HDF, exotic wood, and steel elements (inox, A10X, NZ3), and carbon fibre.
The platform structure incorporates a new proprietary Rogoz Audio antivibration system, BBS (Balancing Board System, Patent P.404137). The system consists of a threaded, height-adjustable spike made of high-fiber-content steel alloy, on top of which two elements are placed, each with an inner bearing. An intermediary (middle) element is made of carbon fiber and supports another element, a steel bearing inserted into the shelf. Point contact between the steel spike and the carbon intermediary element prevents movement of either element relative to its axis, but it allows pendular motion. Meanwhile, the contact between the intermediary element and the bearing inserted into the shelf allows restricted rolling motion and sliding motion. Consequently, the advantages of spike point support (contact area has been minimized and kinetic energy turns into heat) have been combined with the effects of deadening vibrations owing to to sliding friction and rolling resistance.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Overall height: 70 mm;
Overall width: 147 mm;
Overall depth: 130 mm;
Top shelf: 147 x 130 x 30 mm;
Bottom shelf: 147 x 130 x 25 mm;
A COMPLETE SET INCLUDES:
1 platform
BBS between shelves
APPLICATIONS:
speaker cables;
interconnects;
power cables;
Depending on the circumstances (mainly on the length and type of cables), one or more platforms are used for each cable. In some situations, one platform might be sufficient for two cable types (for example, speaker and signal cables), provided they do not touch each other.
