About the Audio Board

About the Audio Board

There is an "audio board" that can improve sound quality by installing it under the audio equipment.
Even if you are particular about the speakers and amplifiers of the main unit, you tend to neglect this audio board.
By all means, consider purchasing an audio board to further improve the sound quality.

What is an audio board?

By installing an audio board, it absorbs the vibration of the sound of the audio device and expresses the original sound of the device to the maximum.

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

The design of the interior is also important, and we recommend that you choose from the material, design (size), and price.


Select by material

Audio boards can be made of wood, marble, granite, or a combination of multiple materials.
The tone varies depending on the material, so choose from your favorite sound and appearance design.


wood

Cherry blossoms and hickory are commonly used as wood for audio boards. It is characterized by a high vibration absorption rate of sound due to the moderate hardness of wood.
Therefore, if you want to make bass sound, a wooden audio board is suitable and gives a soft look.

stone

Marble and granite are the main stone materials. Compared to wood, it is harder and heavier, so it suppresses sound vibration and noise, tightens the bass range, and emphasizes the tone of the midrange. It creates a sense of luxury that is different from wood.


metal

Even if it is thin, it is a metal audio board that absorbs vibrations firmly. Even if it is thin, the material used is heavy, so it absorbs vibrations firmly.
In addition, since it has no height, it is characterized by a compact appearance, but in the case of metal, it is necessary to be careful because it may resonate depending on the combination.


Hybrid type

Combination of multiple materials

The materials used differ depending on the object, but there are audio boards that take advantage of the characteristics of each material, such as audio boards that combine wood and metal, and audio boards that use buoyancy by combining magnets.

Select by thickness and weight

It depends on the material, but it is said that the thicker it is, the higher the absorption rate of sound vibrations and the clearer the resonance.
In addition, it is said that the heavier the audio board, the more stable it is and the better the tone resonates, but if it is too heavy, the installation point may be deformed, so be careful.
It looks light from the looks alone, but in fact, even the lightest ones weigh about 2 kg, and some heavier ones weigh more than 10 kg.

In addition, if you have an audio rack that combines audio boards, you can improve the sound quality while neatly storing multiple devices.
Depending on the material, there are thin but high-performance ones, so please enjoy your audio life with your favorite design, size, and material.

Audio-based

In combination with audio boards, many enthusiasts have adopted audio bases. There are various types for amplifiers, players, and speakers, and the material is more dotted than the audio board, so it invites you to a sharper and longer sound with a clearer outline. Many of the materials are hard, and ceramics, metals, and wood are mainly hard woods like ebony.
