The key product details from Townshend.

What's so special about this stand?
The ingenious arrangement of uprights and plates, with most compliant load cells at each corner, in conjunction with the mass of the stand (plus equipment), form a stable suspended mass/spring low-pass filter with an attenuation of about 20dB per decade above 2Hz. This ensures that deleterious ground-borne vibrations from 4Hz and above are virtually eliminated.

Isolating audio/video components from vibration increases fidelity and imparts an openness and clarity to the sound, with gains in focus and solidity of image, which a non-suspended stand simply cannot approach.

Standard shelves are of polished and toughened safety glass, for appearance and durability. And, contrary to popular belief, the glass does not “ring” as it does on spiked stands because the four point mounting clamps have vibration absorbing pads which form a constrained layer damped assembly with virtually no resonance and once the equipment is in place. Further the rubber feet on the equipment completely eliminate any possibility of ringing. The stand rests on soft plastic feet, which will not harm wood or carpet floors and are easily adjustable for levelling.
