About the audio board

An audio board is a product that can improve sound quality by installing it underneath an audio device.
Even those who are particular about the speakers and amplifiers on the main unit tend to neglect this audio board.
Please consider purchasing an audio board to improve your sound quality.

What is an audio board?

By installing an audio board, it absorbs the vibrations of audio equipment and maximizes the original sound of the equipment.

Depending on the material, it may be compatible with sound, but it also has the effect of bringing out the original sound of the device.

Design as an interior decoration is also important, and we recommend choosing based on the material, design (size), and price.


Choose by material

Audio board materials can be found in a wide variety, from wood to marble and granite, and a combination of multiple materials.
The tone changes depending on the material, so choose the sound and appearance design you like.


wood

Cherry blossoms and hickory are commonly used as wood for audio boards. It is characterized by its high vibration absorption rate due to the moderate hardness of the wood.
Therefore, when resonating bass, a wooden audio board is suitable for use, giving it a soft look.

Stone

Marble and granite are roughly the most popular stones. It is harder and heavier than wood, so it suppresses sound vibrations and noise, tightens the bass and accentuates the mid-range tone. It also gives off a luxurious feel that is different from wood.


metal

A metal audio board is a thin, yet absorbs vibrations. Although it is thin, the material used is heavy, so it absorbs vibrations firmly.
Furthermore, it is not tall and has a compact appearance, but in the case of metal, it may resonate depending on the combination, so be careful.

Combination of multiple materials

The materials used vary depending on the item, but there are audio boards that make use of the characteristics of each material, from audio boards that combine wood and metal to those that use buoyancy by combining magnets.

Choose by thickness and weight

It varies depending on the material, but it is said that the thicker the sound vibrations are absorbed higher and the sound is clearer.
Also, it is said that the heavier audio boards will improve stability and have a better tone resonance, but if they are too heavy, the installation location may be deformed, so be careful.
Although it looks light just by looking at it, even light items weigh about 2kg, and some heavy items weigh over 10kg.

Additionally, an audio rack that combines an audio board allows you to improve sound quality while keeping multiple devices neatly in place.
Some materials may be thin but high-performance, so enjoy your audio life with your favorite design, size, and material.
