Triple rolling-crystal ball vibration control isolation devices
Zen Disc Ultra vibration control isolation devices are extremely effective products that contain specially selected materials and triple rolling-crystal ball technology. Each Zen Disc Ultra uses Audio Engineers’ unique design principles to provide extremely efficient attenuation.
The Zen Disc Ultra vibration control isolation device is capable of effective 360-degree axial, horizontal and vertical damping, and the special materials used ensure more effective and faster reaction time vibration absorption. Zen Disc Ultra vibration control isolation devices even more effectively dampen the audio devices’ own resonances and vibrations from the environment.
Zen Disc Ultra vibration control isolation devices are primarily designed for audio and video devices with moving mechanical parts, CD, Blu-ray players, turntables, devices with HDD, center-, bookshelf-, floor-standing speakers, speaker stands and audio furniture. Furthermore, for use in places where the vibration is more present due to the volume or other physical force effects. Zen Disc Ultra vibration control isolation devices provide exceptional acoustic performance and enhanced sound clarity.
Triple rolling-crystal ball pendulum technology
The Zen Disc Ultra uses specially designed, separate and individually isolated three-ball cups. The individual cups have special gel support, so they can dampen resonances of different directions and intensities as individual units. The design of the cups has a variable curve, so the Zen Disc Ultra units easily respond to low-intensity vibrations and can exert a greater counter-effect to higher-energy vibrations. The triple rolling-ball design is always balanced, so it does not “wobble”, so it can be easily installed under spiky feet or factory device feet without additional fixing. The triple rolling-ball design made it possible to use smaller balls, whose lower own weight provides a faster reaction time to compensate for vibration. The design of the ball cup was also tuned to the materials used, so Zen Disc Ultra differs from other Zen Disc models not only in material quality, load capacity but also in efficiency and sensitivity.
State-of-the-art materials and technologies
Zen Disc Ultra anti-vibration isolation devices are made from a highly effective combination of materials and technologies used in aerospace technology, advanced aerospace and automotive manufacturing, and motorsport. The outer housing of the Zen Disc Ultra units is made of non-magnetic, high-quality aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy with ultra-high precision CNC machining. The aluminum-silicon-magnesium alloy itself has excellent anti-vibration properties and effectively eliminates unwanted electronic interactions with sensitive audio device components caused by commonly used magnetizable steels.
In the aluminum-silicon alloy housing, there are ball cups made of high-strength steel, which have received a special ceramic coating at high temperatures. The surface ceramic coating provides extremely high wear resistance and extremely low surface friction.
The Zen Disc Ultra units feature special quartz crystal balls that are made in a laboratory with precision machining, so they are extremely close to the perfect spherical shape. The high hardness, low weight and special material structure of the quartz crystal balls ensure extremely effective vibration damping properties.
Extra slim, almost invisible design
In the design of the Zen Disc Ultra, in addition to efficiency, one of the main considerations was the extra thin, almost invisible design. The unique shape of the Zen Disc Ultra also helps to reduce the size, which provides a special appearance without reducing efficiency. All this required extremely precise planning and special materials. Thanks to the extra thin and unique design, the Zen Disc Ultra units are easy to install and blend in unnoticed into their surroundings, while at the same time, they are extremely effective at dampening harmful resonances in any audio system.
High-grade and super-high-grade balls
The crystal balls used in Zen Disc Ultra are class 5, so they are almost perfect balls. Quartz crystal balls are hard, but thanks to their crystal structure, they are also flexible. Their hardness reaches 7 – 7.5 on the Mohs scale.
Extreme hard-ceramic surface treatment
Each ball cup in the Zen Disc Ultra unit is made with a special ceramic surface treatment. The ceramic layer is applied at a high temperature to the surface of the high-strength non-magnetic stainless steel, which thus has extremely high wear resistance and extremely low surface friction.
The crystal balls used in Zen Disc Ultra units have a special nano-ceramic surface treatment.
Special bottom damping layer
The vibration damping efficiency is further increased by the carbon fiber damping unit located under the upper disc, the efficiency of which is further improved by the damping gel applied between the carbon fiber layers. In the lower part of the Zen Disc Ultra units, an additional layer made of carbon-polymer fiber material ensures damping and proper adhesion.
