bFly-Audio TOWER-Flex – Cable Absorber

The bFly-Audio TOWER-Flex is a cable absorber made from special plastic that decouples round and flat speaker and mains cables from floor vibrations.

It's the further-developed, one-third heavier version of the classic TOWER – more weight for more stability, paired with a more homogeneous electromagnetic environment thanks to the greater distance from the floor.

Why the TOWER-Flex?

The vibration-damping body of special plastic sits on a ring of proven cork-natural rubber granulate on the underside. Unlike the simpler TOWER, the TOWER-Flex is designed for round and flat cables equally, and carries 30 to 50 cm of resting cable length depending on cable stiffness.

What you hear

A calmer, more clearly defined soundstage for speaker and mains cables that are noticeably less influenced by floor contact – especially on hard floors without carpet.

Who is the TOWER-Flex for (and who isn't it for)?

Ideal for anyone with high-quality, exposed speaker or mains cables that noticeably benefit from decoupling. Bottom line: on short, taut cable runs with no significant floor contact, even the TOWER-Flex does little – here the investment only pays off on longer, exposed runs.

Our verdict

The TOWER-Flex is the more consistent evolution of the classic TOWER – more weight, more stability, equally suited to round and flat cables. How many pieces make sense for your cabling is something we're happy to work out with you at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference to the classic TOWER?

The TOWER-Flex is a third heavier, which provides more stability and a more homogeneous electromagnetic environment. It's also designed for round and flat cables equally, while the classic TOWER only covers round cables.

How many TOWER-Flex do I need?

As a rule of thumb, one absorber per 30 to 50 cm of exposed cable is enough, depending on how stiff the cable is. For a stereo setup with multiple cable runs, the set of 6 or set of 8 is usually the more practical choice.

Does the TOWER-Flex also fit flat cables?

Yes, that's exactly the difference to the classic TOWER – the ring of cork-natural rubber on the underside accommodates both round and flat cable cross-sections.
