Isolation Series

Ultimate Isolation System
Image2.jpg (63105 bytes) The Bright Star Isolation Series comprise the most effective vibration and resonance elimination systems available.  Place a Little Rock on top of your CD player and experience a new dimension.  Put a Big Rock platform under your turntable and let it revive your passion. Set your audio or video component between a Little Rock and Big Rock and place them atop the Air Mass pneumatic mount and achieve the patented Ultimate Isolation System!  

The Little Rock mass loads the
component’s top plate and impressively damps destructive stored energy.  Placing the Little Rock and the component on a Big Rock forces the unwanted resonance out and into the sand-filled base where it is absorbed. The Big Rock/Air Mass combination is extremely effective in protecting from air-borne and floor-borne vibrations. Improvements are realized in all areas! Dynamics, low frequency response/extension, soundstage size, image focus, detail, smoothness, pace, rhythm and all other areas are significantly enhanced. 

Russell Novack states in The Audiophile Voice (Vol.l No.2) The greatest single improvement in tweaks…fully the equivalent of upgrading a component. Dick Olsher says in Stereophile May 1993
  (Vol.16 No.5) I can no longer tolerate the thought of using most of my gear outside of the Bright Star niche. Do yourself a favor and pamper your equipment. You’ll be glad you did.‘ Wes Phillips, in Stereophile, July 1997, calls it a bargain.‘ 
Air Mass has been nominated for Accessory of the Year by Stereophile, the Golden Note award by The Academy and voted Best of the Year by The Abso!ute Sound. The Big Rock has also been nominated for Accessory of the Year by Stereophile, the Golden Note award by The Academy and Editor’s Choice by Fi Magazine. In addition, Bright Star Isolation Series products have been voted Standout Product of the Year by Soundstage!, Cream of the Crop, Editor’s Choice and Best Buy by The Abso!ute Sound, Component of Exceptional Merit by Bound For Sound and are included in all Recommended Component listings!


IsoRock
Multi-layer construction of high-density polymers, thick multi-density fiberboard, polymer adhesives and a non-resonant coating provides effective control of vibration and resonance to enhance the performance of sensitive audio and video components. The special IsoNode feet further decouple the IsoRock from floor borne vibration.


IsoNode
The IsoNode isolation feet provide the most cost-effective upgrade in the industry! The unique IsoNode polymer rejects a wide range of vibration trying to enter from underneath the component. The highly compliant IsoNode acts as both a liquid and a solid for superior vibration control. Adhesive backing is included.
The large size are 1.25 " X 3/4" tall, hold 42 lbs and $24.99 for a set of four.

CHOOSING THE BEST
BRIGHT STAR MODEL
FOR YOUR SYSTEM


Bright Star Audio manufacturers the most comprehensive vibration control products in the industry and we have the perfect one (or more!) for your audio or video system.

Our three main types of vibration control products are:  the Air Mass pneumatic mount, the Big Rock platform and the Little Rock pod (a Gemini isolation twin combines an Air Mass and Big Rock into a single model to save on required height).  Any one of these, or any combination of two or (preferably) all three can be used with an audio or video component for enhanced performance.  Choosing the perfect Bright Star model is easy!  First decide which of your components you wish to isolate.  We generally recommend starting with the source (CD player, DVD player, turntable, etc.) and continue to isolate going down the line.  However, certain components, such as tube electronics, are in greater need of proper vibration control than others.



WHICH MODEL?

CD, DVD, LASERDISC PLAYERS, ETC
GOOD - a set of IsoNode feet under the player.
BETTER
- an IsoRock platform under the player. 
BEST
- a Little Rock on top and an IsoRock under the player. 

TURNTABLES

GOOD
- a set of IsoNode feet under the turntable.
BEST 
- an IsoRock or Big Rock under the turntable. 

D/A CONVERTERS, SURROUND & DSP PROCESSORS, ETC
GOOD - a set of IsoNode feet under the player.
BETTER
- an IsoRock platform under the player. 
BEST - a Little Rock on top and an IsoRock under the player. 


PREAMPS
:
GOOD - a set of IsoNode feet under the player.
BETTER
- an IsoRock platform under the player. 
BEST - a Little Rock on top and an IsoRock under the player. 


AMPLIFIERS

GOOD - a set of IsoNode feet under the player.
BETTER
- an IsoRock platform under the player. 
BEST - a Little Rock on top and an IsoRock under the player. 



SPEAKERS & SUBWOOFERS

MINIMUM - a set of IsoNode feet under the speaker.
GOOD - an IsoRock under the speaker or subwoofer.
GOOD - a Big Rock under the speaker or subwoofer. 
BEST - a Big Rock under and a Little Rock on top of the speaker. You will be absolutely amazed with this combination on your subwoofer!!



WHAT SIZE?


You next want to measure the space (width and depth) available on your shelf.  Choose the largest Bright Star model that will fit comfortably there.  If height is an issue, remember that you can save ¼" by removing the feet under any Big Rock or Little Rock, but don’t cover the original vent holes on your component*.  You can also stack components between an Air Mass/Big Rock and a Little Rock.  Even better, you can place a Little Rock 2 stacking pod between the components with another Little Rock on top.   You can also save on height by choosing a Gemini instead of a separate Air Mass and Big Rock, but if you have the room the separates will perform better.  When choosing a Big Rock, measure the spacing of your component’s feet and make sure they fit the "plinth size" of the Big Rock.

*If your component runs very warm you can place four pointed cones between the top of the component and the bottom of a Little Rock - with the points facing up - to allow for proper cooling.



WHY ALL THREE?
– Air Mass, Big Rock and Little Rock – the Ultimate Isolation System

For a full discussion of why the award winning Ultimate Isolation System is the most comprehensive vibration control in the industry, please see our article ULTIMATE ISOLATION THEORY in the Technical Talk section of our web site.
