The Townshend Seismic platforms and Podiums employ a mass-spring system to provide the perfect solution. Here’s how: Designed to decouple audio components from external mechanical vibrations above 3Hz, a frequency chosen to be well below the audio band but high enough to filter out virtually all unwanted vibrations such as footsteps, doors closing, lifts operating and global seismic effects. These Seismic Isolation products use a damped mass-spring system which is easy to adjust to suit the weights of a wide range of audio components and a revelation in sound quality. We work closely with clients to find the right load mass solution for you and continue until all unwanted vibrational resonances are eliminated from the audio chain. Giving clearer and greater musicality to your cherished music library.

Townshend Allegri+ Passive Preamplifier – Pure Sound, Unmatched Clarity
Elevate your audio experience with the Townshend Allegri+ Passive Preamplifier, a masterpiece of engineering that redefines transparency in high-fidelity sound. Priced at £2,400, this compact yet powerful device is the ultimate choice for discerning audiophiles who demand nothing less than perfection from their hi-fi systems. Say goodbye to noise, distortion, and compromise—say hello to music as it was meant to be heard.
Why Choose the Allegri+?
Unlike traditional preamps, the Allegri+ is a purely passive autotransformer design—no power supply, no active components, just unadulterated sound. Its state-of-the-art autotransformers, wound with Townshend’s proprietary Fractal-Wire™ and laminated with ultra-thin mu-metal, deliver astonishing resolution and transparency. From crystal-clear treble to deep, powerful bass, every note is rendered with breathtaking accuracy.
  • Six Input Options: Seamlessly switch between your sources with six gold-plated RCA inputs and a convenient 3.5mm front-panel jack.
  • Precision Volume Control: A 24-position volume control offers tailored intervals to suit any system, ensuring perfect loudness without sacrificing dynamics.
  • Impedance Mastery: Unlike conventional passive controllers, the Allegri+ matches the impedance of your source and amplifier, preserving every ounce of musical energy.
  • Silent Operation: With no capacitors in the signal path and a mute switch for instant quiet, it’s as pure as it gets.
The Sound of Nothing—Except Music
The Allegri+ doesn’t just amplify—it reveals. Experience a soundstage so open and detailed, you’ll hear nuances you never knew existed. It’s DC-coupled for zero signal degradation, and its sleek anodized aluminum chassis houses technology that outperforms preamps costing thousands more. Reviewers rave about its “uncoloured, open sound” and “astonishing transparency”—this is the preamp that lets your gear shine.
Perfect for Any System
Modern source components output around 2 volts with low impedance, and most power amps hit full stride at 1 volt. The Allegri+ bridges that gap effortlessly, eliminating the need for gain while maintaining full dynamics. Pair it with Townshend’s F1 Fractal™ Interconnects for the ultimate sonic synergy—because even one meter of lesser cable can dim its brilliance.
Key Features:
  • Inputs: 6x RCA stereo pairs, 1x 3.5mm jack
  • Outputs: 2x RCA stereo pairs
  • Frequency Response: 8Hz–100kHz (±0.1dB)
  • Distortion: Less than 0.01% at 400Hz, 10V
  • Finish: Elegant silver anodized aluminum
  • Warranty: 5 years of peace of mind

Townshend Audio Seismic Podium – The Ultimate Foundation for Sonic Excellence
Elevate your listening experience to new heights with the Townshend Audio Seismic Podium (starting at £1,750 per pair). Engineered in the UK, these award-winning isolation platforms break the acoustic connection between your speakers and the floor, unleashing a sound so clear, deep, and natural that it’s nothing short of revelatory. Designed for any speaker—stand-mounts with stands, floorstanders, or subwoofers—the Seismic Podium eliminates structure-borne feedback, banishes bass boom, and delivers a wider, deeper soundstage that transforms your music. Priced for the serious audiophile, this is the no-compromise solution for neighbor-friendly, high-level listening.
Sever the Ties, Free the Sound
Speakers don’t just play music—they interact with the floor, sending vibrations downward and receiving seismic interference in return. This coupling muddies bass, blurs clarity, and sends irritating boom into adjacent rooms. The Seismic Podium stops this dead in its tracks. Using four ‘Captive’ Seismic Load Cells™ in a stable, four-square configuration, it floats your speakers above the floor’s influence, isolating vibrations in all directions from 3Hz upward. The result? Enhanced clarity across the entire frequency range, improved bass definition that’s tight and controlled, and a soundstage so expansive it feels like the performers are in the room with you.
A Revolution in Audio Precision
Crafted from tough black steel, each Seismic Podium offers a large, adaptable platform that supports any medium-to-large speaker or subwoofer—spikes or no spikes. The Load Cells feature adjustable top caps for fine leveling and bottom feet to compensate for uneven floors, ensuring a rock-solid foundation on wood, tile, or carpet. Raising your speaker by just 20mm (¾”), the Podium maintains optimal bass balance while severing the resonance between the cabinet and the floor. Suddenly, the sound becomes more tuneful, natural, and enjoyable—free from the distortions that once held it back. Playback at realistic volumes becomes a guilt-free pleasure, as vibrations no longer rattle walls or annoy neighbors.
Tailored to Every Speaker
Available in five standard sizes (or custom-ordered for behemoths), the Seismic Podium comes in multiple load capacities to match your setup:
  • Type A: Up to 13.2kg (four Load Cells).
  • Type C: Up to 52.4kg—perfect for most floorstanders.
  • Type F: Up to 200kg for massive systems.
Check the load capacity graph to select the right rating, and contact us for guidance on uneven or heavy loads. For stability and ease, we recommend sticking to weights within the specified range per type—e.g., four “C” Load Cells handle up to 52.4kg safely. Whether it’s a sleek stand-mount or a towering subwoofer, the Podium’s extended footprint ensures unwavering support without tipping risks.
Award-Winning Performance
The Seismic Podium isn’t just a product—it’s a phenomenon, lauded by the audio world:
  • The Ear Editor’s Choice 2018
  • HiFi+ Accessory of the Year 2016
  • Stereo Times Most Wanted Component 2020
