Vortex System

About the Vortex System

The HRS Nimbus Assembly is a highly effective chassis noise reduction system that uses a combination of billet-machined aircraft aluminum and proprietary HRS polymers to eliminate chassis resonance and transform residual energy into heat. It consists of two primary components: an all-polymer Nimbus Coupler and an anodized aluminum Nimbus Spacer. The system is placed directly on the shelf, supporting the audio component with one coupler contacting the shelf surface and another contacting the bottom chassis of the component (not the existing feet). It is available in three heights (1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 inches) to optimize system configuration and stability. The Nimbus system is effective on electronic chassis and speaker cabinets and is widely used by audiophiles and industry professionals as a reference chassis noise reduction system. The HRS Vortex System is designed specifically for audio components with stiffer chassis constructions made from plate or billet metal parts. It features a patented design with a stainless steel outer housing and custom internal elements that dissipate chassis energy along a specific path to prevent resonance from returning to the system. The Vortex is placed in direct contact with the component chassis (not under existing feet), with the pointed end contacting the HRS Isolation Base and the large diameter contacting the chassis. It comes in fixed and adjustable height models and is sold in sets of four (three fixed and one adjustable) with recommendations for additional units based on component size. The Vortex system enhances resolution and dynamics without adding brightness, fatigue, or high-frequency noise. Together, the Nimbus Assembly and Vortex System form a comprehensive solution for chassis noise reduction, vibration control, and improved audio fidelity, widely regarded as reference-level products in the audiophile community.
