No system can sound its best until resonances are under control. To achieve the "magic" that your system is capable of, resonance control is a must .

Through extensive experimentation, Walker Audio (and many others) have discovered that stands, shelves and the enclosure of a component are major contributors to vibrations. Most manufacturers design their enclosures for appearance, convenience and cost reasons, with little or no attention to vibration control.

Many materials that are commonly used to to manufacture shelves and racks, such as marble, granite, glass and most metals, actually aggravate the vibration and resonance problems.

The quest for the ultimate sound led Lloyd Walker to create Valid Points and Resonance Control Disks. They are designed to provide isolation and to stabilize and control resonances of all components in an audio or video system. This includes analog, digital and video components, as well as speakers, shelves and stands.

Walker Resonance Control Disks resemble a hockey puck placed in a shallow brass plated "cup". The "cup" is acually filled with a dense resonance damping compound. They are 3 inches in diameter, and come in 1/2" or 1" thicknesses.

Place Walker Audio Resonance Control Disks on top of Audio/video components to prevent the degradation caused by vibration and "ringing". You may also place them beneath components that have spikes, as they make excellent grounding points (as well as proviiding surface protection).
