TOWNSHEND AUDIO SEISMIC PODIUMS
“The way it removes the speaker’s interaction with it’s surroundings is mind blowing, bringing clarity to the entire frequency range that enables it to communicate more effectively with the listener. You haven’t truly heard how your speakers can perform until you’ve placed it on one of these Seismic Podiums.
Townshend Seismic Podiums produce a result that goes way beyond what you might expect from speakers on springs. To get an improvement in absolute resolution, precision of timing and solidity of stereo image from something so apparently simple is extraordinary. These things really do change the game, move the goalposts, and revolutionize the way we should think about speaker support. This is not an accessory its an essential.
“Enthusiastically recommended.”
Lee Dunkley – Hi-Fi Choice.
So what do Seismic Podiums do for sound quality? If I said everything you wouldnt believe me, but the answer is not far off. They dramatically increase low level resolution so you can hear more detail, they clean up the bass like you wouldnt believe and the improve dynamics and speed.
Jason Kennedy
Designed as a range to accommodate any size and weight of speaker standmount plus stand, floorstander or subwoofer the Seismic Podium breaks the acoustic connection between the floor and the speaker, preventing the passage of deleterious vibrations both to and from the speaker cabinets. For a detailed explanation of why this is an absolute necessity before any speaker can perform to its true potential, read Earthquakes on hi-fi.
Floated on Seismic Isolation Podiums, speakers are freed from the ever-present seismic activity and room/floor interactions that seriously degrade sound quality. The result is simply magical, allowing listeners to hear into their favourite music in a way they were never able to previously. When under your speakers, they will give you immediate improvements in overall sound by preventing speaker generated vibration from entering the floor and sound from entering your speakers. By eliminating the resonance between the speaker-cabinet mass and the floor, the sound will be noticeably clearer, much more tuneful, controlled and natural. Bass boom is significantly reduced and there will be a far larger, much deeper and wider sound stage. The sound becomes natural and more enjoyable.
As many have already witnessed, the improvements are a revelation and a true pleasure not least because severing the acoustic link between the speaker and the floor allows playback at more realistic volume levels without annoying the neighbours!
Available in five standard sizes (or to special order to accommodate true behemoths), each Podium platform utilizes Townshends innovative Captive Load Cell technology to provide a stable four-square footprint that extends well beyond the perimeter of the speaker cabinet. This also allows easy fine levelling adjustment of each Load Cell via a rotatable top cap while, on the bottom, is an adjustable foot to compensate for out-of true floors. The tough black steel platform accommodates any shape of medium to large speaker or sub-woofer, with or without spikes. The Seismic Podiums are suitable for wood, tile or carpeted floors. Total speaker height is increased by only 20mm (3/4).
The Seismic Podium is the optimum solution for comprehensive speaker support on a grand scale. Whether as part of a professional installation or domestic one, the Seismic Podiums command ultimate support for your speakers and sub woofers, with no compromises. They will give you an unprecedented performance.
The Podium features an innovative “captive” Load Cell on each corner. A screw handle on the top provides fine adjustment, whilst on the bottom is an adjustable foot to accommodate out-of-true floors.

WITH OVER 45 YEARS OF R&D TOWNSHEND AUDIO HAVE DISCOVERED
Vibrations affect the sound through hi-fi systems, they may be small and they may go largely unnoticed, vibrations have a negative impact on the quality of sound in virtually all hi-fi components.
Turntables are highly sensitive to vibration, which raises the noise floor, degrading the sound not to mention stylus jump due to footfall.
With silver-disc players, vibration affects the laser mechanism and the crystal oscillators introducing severe sound-degrading jitter.
With tube or valve amplifiers vibration rattles the microphonic electrodes, especially the grids.
Transistor amplifiers have microphonic components, including capacitors and connecting wires which move relative to one and another generating rogue voltages. All of these mechanisms will degrade the delicate audio signal.
Computers, streamers and DACs are highly susceptible to mechanical noise as they all contain vibration sensitive crystal oscillators.
Rigid spike or cone mounted speakers transmit vibrations throughout the room and ultimately, through your rack and into your equipment. The vibrations will seriously degrade performance, since as spike and cone mounted speakers cause the whole room structure to vibrate, which results in an unrealistic boomy bass whilst masking the subtle detail.
Each Podium platform uses Townshends innovative Captive Load Cell technology to give a stable four-square footprint that extends well beyond the perimeter of the speaker cabinet. This also for easy fine levelling adjustment of each Load Cell via a rotatable top cap while, on the bottom, is an adjustable foot to compensate for out-of-true floors. The tough black steel platform has a large area that accommodates any shape of medium to large speaker or sub-woofer, with or without spikes. The Seismic Podiums are suitable for wood, tile or carpeted floors. Total speaker height is increased by only 20mm (3/4).
The secret is to fully float your whole Hi-Fi System independently from the speakers and the floor. Townshend have devised a complete solution to allow this to be done in an optimum way.

The Editor and two other HiFi+ reviewers already use Podiums under their loudspeakers, and speaker companies are taking note, too. This is a real loudspeaker game changer and could spell the end of loudspeaker spikes for many listeners.
HiFi + review Jason Kennedy
The effect of putting a speaker on the Seismic Podiums is quite dramatic. I did the demonstration to the guys from DALI recently when they brought round a pair of Epicon 8 speakers for a forthcoming review. They couldnt quite believe the improvement in coherence and timing it wrought, and the extent to which the sound is able to escape the boxes. Then theres the bass, which is suddenly incredibly articulate, three dimensional, and powerful. This is true of every speaker that I have tried on these bases, and the irony is that the sound is faster and more fine detailed than it is with spikes. There is none of the edginess and emphasis on leading edges that spikes produce, yet there is greater immediacy. In all honesty, Id say you dont know how good your speakers are until you isolate them from the floor.Given the thirty plus years of spike indoctrination that we have been treated to, this is a hard pill to swallow for many, but when you find out that Alan Sircom is using Townshend Podiums under his Wilson Duette IIs and Paul Messenger, one of the earliest and most fervent spike enthusiasts, is also using Townshend Isolation under his Bowers & Wilkins 800 Diamonds, it makes you realize that anyone who really listens will appreciate their benefits. I took a pair of Podiums to a friend with Wilson Benesch Chimera speakers a few months back; he didnt like the bronze adjusters that the earlier models featured, but loved the sound and had to get some. It seems the bigger and more revealing the speaker, the more it benefits from isolation. My friends system literally came alive when we put them in; it opened up and started to do stuff that you wouldnt believe achievable without a major component upgradeGenuine speaker isolation is hard to achieve, but thanks to decades of R&D, Townshend Audio has managed to make an isolation base that cuts out energy down to 3Hz and does so in a stable and easily installed fashion. Now all the company has to do is let the audio world hear the benefits. It wont be an easy job, and there will always be those who prefer the character that spikes bring. But for anyone thats genuinely interested in whats on the recording, on hearing more music, they represent a major breakthrough in the pursuit of high fidelity, and that is what this game is all about. But dont take my word for it, get a demonstration, see the light, and hear the difference!
