{"product_id":"bfly-audio-master-absorber-set","title":"bFly-Audio MASTER – Equipment Absorbers, Set of 4","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe bFly-Audio MASTER is an equipment absorber that decouples hi-fi components from vibrations via five matched material layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to start with decoupling without immediately investing in the reference class, you end up with the MASTER at bFly-Audio. The principle behind it is called MLA – Multi Layer Adjustment: several different materials in a single component. The MKII version additionally brings an HS plug made of extremely rigid aluminium, which increases horizontal stability. You choose size and height right here on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the bFly-Audio MASTER?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe structure from top to bottom, as specified by the manufacturer:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCork with natural rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esolid aluminium body as a separating layer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCork with natural rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSorbothane with plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural rubber as floor contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single damping material can only ever do what it was made for. Combining cork, Sorbothane and natural rubber in one structure covers more than any single solution – and in one component that is supplied as a set of four in a case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour absorbers in a case, available in aluminium silver or black. You place them under the existing equipment feet or directly under the base plate – or screw them in place if needed (MASTER-2). Typical uses are amplifiers, DACs, streamers, CD players and turntables. What you get from them is not a new tonal colour, but more calm in the background. Described unspectacularly – and that's exactly as it should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the MASTER suitable for – and who not?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for anyone who wants to give an already coherent system that last bit of calm. Plain speaking: if you're just starting out, invest first in speakers, placement and room. An absorber refines a good system; it doesn't repair a weak one.

Hand on heart – in a mature system, decoupling is one of the cheaper measures that still changes something.

According to the manufacturer, the MASTER-2 carries up to 55 kg and the MASTER-3 up to 75 kg. Divide the unit's weight by the number of support points and choose the suitable size right here on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich height should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the manufacturer, the height has no effect on the sound. What matters is how much space is available under your unit. The MASTER-2 comes in 14, 21 or 28 mm, the MASTER-3 in 15 or 30 mm. If in doubt, we'll measure together with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I screw the MASTER in place?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, for the MASTER-2 you choose the version with thread M4, M5, M6 or M8 in the option «Height \u0026amp; Mounting» (CHF 30 surcharge per set).
