Introducing the Townshend Seismic Isolation Bars—an ideal choice for audiophiles seeking effective speaker support in compact spaces.

When space is at a premium
The Townshend Seismic Bars offer more space-saving advantages than the larger Seismic Podiums. With a slimmer profile, they take up less floor space, making them less visually intrusive in your listening environment. Their adjustable design allows them to fit a wide range of speakers as long as the paired speakers have similar weights. This flexibility, combined with their discreet presence, makes Seismic Bars an ideal solution for those seeking effective vibration isolation without sacrificing space or aesthetics.
Sleek, strong and adjustable
TThe adjustable design allows you to tailor the bars to various speakers, provided they fall within the recommended weight thresholds, ensuring versatility and optimal audio performance.Each bar comprises a very strong steel cross-piece with raised ends, under which are attached two Seismic Load Cells™.that, chosen to match the weight of your speakers.
choosing correct size for your seismic Bars
The Seismic Bars are available with five different weight range capacities, varying progressively from less than 5kg up to potentially over 75kg.
We strongly recommend using Seismic Podiums for loads above 30kg however it is possible to up to 75kg with Subs and low centre of gravity components for ease of use and stability reasons; especially on equipment taller than 1m and/or high centre of gravity.
We suggest, for reasons of ease of set-up and loads that are not equally distributed, that consumers always select the stronger Load Cell where two values overlap the calibrated chart used for selecting the correct loadcell known as a ‘loadcell selection chart’
For example, when using four (4) type “C” Load Cells, the maximum supported weight should be equal to or less than 52.4 Kg.
Utilizing a similar isolation technology as the Seismic Podiums, the bars feature a more straightforward construction that maintains performance without the heavy encasing, isolating vibrations down to 3Hz for significant sonic improvements.
Instalation
To install, first, remove any spikes or cones from your speakers and slip one bar under the front of the speaker. Then tilt the speaker forward and slide the second bar under the rear. Very small adjustments allow for setting the speakers vertical. Even though the speakers are floating, it takes a very big push to topple them.

Seismic Corners
A one hit wonder
Isolating all audio equipment on any rack or console in one hit
Simply slip each corner under the legs of your furniture to float your audio equipment for immediate and life long sonic bliss. Seismic Corners provide vibration isolation for almost any equipment rack, stand and platforms. Each Seismic Corner is a small platform suspended from two Seismic Load Cells™ on which the equipment legs or spikes are placed.
Designed to float your existing equipment rack in an unobtrusive manner, the Seismic Isolation Corners slip discretely under the bottom corners of your support furniture and bring you all the benefits of Seismic Isolation without major upheaval.
There are two types of Seismic corners S&F
S Type
The S-type seismic Corners are specially designed to fit racks with spiked or tubular legs. They provide superior vibration isolation, shielding your audio equipment from unwanted interference. Perfect for hi-fi racks, these corners are space-efficient, offering adjustable support while maintaining a discreet, low-profile appearance.
Four Corners units can hold equipment weighing up to 400kg.
F Type
The Seismic Corners for flat-bottomed equipment racks offer advanced vibration isolation, ensuring your audio setup performs at its best. Designed to fit racks with flat bases, these corners provide stable, adjustable support while minimizing vibrations, enhancing sound quality and protecting your gear. They are ideal for achieving optimal audio clarity with a clean, unobtrusive look.
