The Michell LEVIS Magnetic Levitation Feet offer an unparalleled level of isolation for turntables, preserving the integrity of the audio signal. By using opposing magnets to create a cushion of air, they significantly reduce the impact of structural vibrations.
The LEVIS design leverages the principles of magnetic levitation to create an effective isolation mechanism for turntables. By utilizing opposing magnets, the device supports the turntable's weight while allowing for a negligible contact footprint via three minimal contact points made of high rigidity low mass polymer. The critical aspect of magnetic levitation entails maintaining a balance between the magnetic forces and gravitational weight, which is achieved through precise calibration. This is done in a contained assembly that ensures stability without excessive physical contact, effectively mitigating the transmission of vibrations that originate from external sources such as speakers or footfall. The points of contact are strategically designed to be non-load bearing and isolated from the magnetic components, thereby ensuring the audio performance remains uncolored and pure.
Key Features
- Magnetic Levitation: Uses opposing magnets for support, creating a cushion of air that minimizes contact and vibration transfer.
