Equipment Vibration Protectors (EVP) are lab-proven vibration isolation feet for high fidelity playback and recording equipment, as well as guitar, bass and keyboard cabinets, microphone stands, etc. EVPs allow equipment to perform optimally, quiet the room, and prevent vibrations from being transmitted to adjoining spaces. Vibrations and resonances, buzzes and rattles are no longer heard, leaving only the pure original loudspeaker signals. EVPs de-couple vibration transmission (>90% from 5 Hz. on up). They do so by transforming the mechanical energy into thermal energy. EVPs keep the signal integrity intact by keeping vibrations at bay.
