ROGOZ AUDIO 4RP2/BBS

2-level, four-legged stand with glossy piano finish. Double shelves 2 x 30 mm thick are separated by BBS. BBS has kinematic and dynamic qualities which enable isolated masses to “float” to the sides relative to the system axis, maintaining point support at the same time. BBS also makes it possible to level the stand shelves. Anti-vibration stands are designed for high end audio components.

The audio stand structure incorporates a new proprietary Rogoz Audio antivibration system, BBS (Balancing Board System, Patent P.404137). The system consists of a threaded, height-adjustable spike made of high-fiber-content steel alloy, on top of which two elements are placed, each with an inner bearing. An intermediary (middle) element is made of carbon fiber and supports another element, a steel bearing inserted into the shelf. Point contact between the steel spike and the carbon intermediary element prevents movement of either element relative to its axis, but it allows pendular motion. Meanwhile, the contact between the intermediary element and the bearing inserted into the shelf allows restricted rolling motion and sliding motion. Consequently, the advantages of spike point support (contact area has been minimized and kinetic energy turns into heat) have been combined with the effects of deadening vibrations owing to to sliding friction and rolling resistance.

Each instrument and each sound seemed to be finer, more prominent and more polished. All of it sounded more exquisite. Consequently, the scene between the speakers deepened and it was possible to define the apparent sound sources with greater precision. [...] The bass became faster and more precise, and the highest tones seemed more polished. In terms of the overall effect, the scene and precision improved.
