Damping Plates

About the Damping Plates

The HRS Damping Plates are precision-engineered products that significantly reduce the negative impact of air and structure-borne vibrations on audio and video component performance. Manufactured from billet-machined aircraft aluminum combined with proprietary HRS polymers, these plates provide a specific combination of mass, stiffness, and damping to eliminate chassis resonance and transform residual chassis energy into heat. They are designed to be placed directly on top of electronic component chassis or speaker cabinets, with the soft polymer side in contact with the component surface. The greater the surface area covered, the more pronounced the improvement in performance. The plates are compatible with other HRS products such as Isolation Bases, Helix, Vortex, and Nimbus, which address different vibration and noise issues. Users should avoid placing tall objects on the plates or blocking ventilation holes of components to prevent instability and overheating. Available in black and silver finishes, the plates come in various sizes to suit different applications. These damping plates are highly regarded by audiophiles and industry professionals as a reference system for chassis noise reduction, contributing to a new level of musical and video signal clarity and fidelity.
