HRS Introduces the New E1X Isolation Base

December 2022 – The new HRS E1X Isolation Base is the next generation of the HRS E Series Isolation Bases and offers true HRS performance in a very cost-effective design configuration.

“The E1X Isolation Base is for customers who want true HRS performance in a very cost-effective design configuration. The E1X uses the same noise reduction footer technology options found in our more expensive isolation base models combined with a proprietary HRS plinth construction. The E1X has the same constrained layer damping system originally developed for the E1 isolation base. The E1X has slightly more refined bass articulation and slightly improved midrange clarity compared to the E1 it replaces. The E series isolation bases continue to provide excellent performance and unique value for our customers.” Michael Latvis, Chief Engineer of Harmonic Resolution Systems.

The E1X Isolation Base is produced in many standard and custom sizes which are all available in a black or silver finish.

The E1X Isolation Base custom sizes are manufactured with 9.5″, 15″, 19″, 21″, 23″, and 25″ widths in any depth needed making it an ideal cost-effective option for smaller components such as headphone chassis as well as large turntables and amplifiers.

Key Features of the HRS E1X Isolation Base

• Broadband noise reduction systems maximize performance
• Highly effective on a wide range of surfaces and structures
• Low-profile compact design minimizes space requirements
• Standard and custom sizes ensure full system integration
• Can be used on any existing surface
• A single connection point allows for easy adjustment, replacement, or upgrades to any HRS Footer.
• Integrates directly into HRS Audio Stands without modification
• Easily modified to optimize performance for different component types
• A fraction of the cost of our reference-level designs.
• The E1X’s innovative HRS design allows complete adjustment in load capacity, load distribution, and type of footer to optimize audio component performance for different component types and environments.

The E1X Isolation Base comprises a plinth consisting of billet-machined aluminum front trim, a proprietary HRS-constrained layer dampening system, and custom, pressed resin fabric composite top and bottom plates.

The top surface of the non-resonant high-density plinth also has a scratch-resistant coating applied to the outer surface to preserve finish integrity. The low profile (3-inch height) design also minimizes space requirements and keeps the visual focus of your system on the components you have selected.

Every HRS Isolation Base model series can be set to either transfer and dissipate energy coming to and from the component or isolate the component from the supporting structure.

Each HRS Isolation Base includes either our Broadband Isolation Feet (SF), our Low-Frequency Feet (LF), or our Bi-Directional Noise Reduction Feet (G7).

All HRS products go through a rigorous development protocol, extensive listening tests, and 100% inspection of critical fit and performance features to verify that all HRS products are manufactured to our exacting standards. This, combined with precision design and exceptional performance, results in a product that is a pleasure to install, use, change, or expand at any time.
