Product Summary
The IsoAcoustics DELOS is a premium hi-fi isolation platform designed to reduce the structural vibrations and resonances that can interfere with the performance of turntables and other sensitive audio equipment. Combining a substantial solid-wood butcher-block platform with IsoAcoustics’ patented integrated isolators, it creates a stable, isolated foundation for clearer and more detailed music reproduction.
Turntable cartridges are highly sensitive to vibration as the stylus tracks the extremely fine variations within a record groove. By decoupling the turntable from its supporting furniture, the DELOS helps prevent vibrations from travelling into the equipment or reflecting back from the surface beneath it. This can lower the perceived noise floor and allow fine musical detail, imaging and tonal definition to be heard more clearly.
The platform is available in two footprints, 18 × 15 inches and 22 × 16 inches, with a choice of 45 mm or 76 mm butcher-block thickness. The smaller 1815 versions incorporate four integrated isolators, while the larger 2216 versions use six and can support components weighing up to 45.4 kg, depending on the selected model.
Natural Maple and Walnut finishes are available, providing the same isolation performance with a different visual character. Maple offers a lighter amber appearance, while Walnut has a darker brown finish with more prominent grain variation. Each platform is made from individually selected wood sections, giving every DELOS a naturally distinctive pattern and appearance.
