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 platforms are: IsoRock, Big Rock,
and Air Mass. Whenever possible, we recommend that a Little Rock pod be
placed on top of the component. Any one of
these models, or any combination of two or more 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 improve. We generally recommend starting with the source (CD player,
DVD player, turntable, etc.) and then continue going down the line.
However, certain components, such as tube electronics or components close to speakers, are in greater need of
proper vibration control than others.

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. When using a Little Rock remember not to cover the original vent holes on your component*. You can also
stack components between a platform and a Little Rock. Even
better, you can place one Little Rock 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.
*If your component runs very warm you can place any rigid spacer
(such as 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?

Little Rock
