Precision-crafted from signature 1½” edge-grain Hard Maple and Black Walnut, this structural mass sink is engineered to sit atop your components and loudspeakers. Thin sheet-metal component lids and speaker enclosures naturally flex and resonate when exposed to airborne acoustic energy and internal mechanical vibration, introducing microphonic coloration into your signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eBy pairing furniture-grade American hardwood with an inset \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"59\"\u003eVibe-Guard™ Acoustic Elastomer\u003c\/b\u003e decoupling pad, the Capstone creates an effective constrained-layer mechanical interface.
