Bright Star offers the most effective vibration and
resonance elimination systems available.  Place a Bright Star platform under your component and let it revive your passion.  Put a Little Rock on top of your CD player  and experience a new dimension.  Use our vibration control products in your audio or home theater and release the hidden capabilities your system is able to achieve!


Our award winning products - IsoRock, Little Rock, Big Rock and Air Mass - have been redesigned and significantly improved incorporating newly developed multiple layer construction - from nine to twenty nine layers depending on model.  High density and medium density polymers are combined with several different polymer adhesives as well as multi density fiberboard for significant system improvements in all areas.  Optional EMI (electro magnetic) and RFI (radio frequency) shielding is now available on all models.  Bright Star offers the most comprehensive vibration control products in the industry!

 "It was easy to be impressed by the results offered by Barry Kohan's extensive range of products. His Bright Star Audio company has been recognized as a leader, if not the leader, in this field of audio." says Karl Lozier in Enjoy the Music (12/03). He continues, "No wonder when using the IsoNode feet as part of his IsoRock platform under the player and then a Little Rock damping pod on top of the player, the resultant sound quality was not to be equaled. Other companies simply do not offer a comparable range of accessory products." 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 (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, 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!


IsoNode
anti vibration feet

The IsoNode isolation feet provide the most cost-effective upgrade in the industry! Voted Accessory of the Year 2007, Product of the Year and Best of CES, the unique IsoNode polymer rejects a wide range of vibration trying to enter from underneath the component and contaminate the signal. The highly compliant IsoNode simultaneously acts as both a liquid and a solid for superior vibration control and isolation. Adhesive backing is included.

The large size are 1.25 " X 3/4" tall, hold 42 lbs and $19.99 for a set of four.

Editor's Choice 2005 We are very proud that The Abso!ute Sound magazine has awarded the IsoRock stands their prestigious Editor's Choice award for 2005 and has listed the IsoRock stands in Recommended Components!


Little Rock
pods



Little Rock pods are placed on top of components to impressively damp destructive stored energy and to eliminate unwanted air-borne and internally generated vibration and resonance.  Placing the Little Rock and the component on a Bright Star platform forces the unwanted resonance out and into the base where it is absorbed. This 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.

Big Rock
platforms


The original Big Rock platforms took the audio industry by storm when originally introduced in 1989.  Receiving more acclaim, industry awards and nominations than virtually any other vibration control product the Big Rock proved that elegant and exceptional design does not have to be expensive.  The high mass, high absorption Big Rock can be used on its own or combined with an Air Mass for phenomenal system improvements.

Air Mass
pneumatic mounts

The Air Mass pneumatic mounts have earned numerous industry awards and nominations including Accessory of the Year by Stereophile and Best of the Year by The Abso!ute Sound.  The award winning Air Mass design decouples sensitive electronic components from external sources of destructive vibration - all areas of performance are significantly improved.

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.



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

BEST

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. 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?
– 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.
