Eau Rouge CFRP Vibration Control Board SG-TOP

Experience the audio improvement effect of a CFRP top plate just by placing it.

Many audio manufacturers use CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) for the top panels, side panels, and enclosures of their equipment because it provides superior electromagnetic shielding and vibration control compared to aluminum. The Eau Rouge SG-TOP was developed to deliver these benefits more easily and to a wider range of users. By simply placing it on top of your equipment, you can quickly experience changes similar to those from CFRP construction.

Hybrid structure of specially selected high-modulus CFRP × Neofade 4140

Through years of research, Eau Rouge has combined specially selected high-modulus carbon fiber and proprietary molding to bring out a “musical and organic resonance” that is difficult to achieve with standard carbon fiber.
Additionally, a single layer of Mitsubishi Gas Chemical’s new vibration damping material Neofade 4140 (0.125mm thick) is hybridized. This achieves a delicate balance that reduces resonance peaks without dulling the most enjoyable parts of the sound.

Ultra-thin vibration damping structure that preserves sound resonance

Typical resin-based vibration damping materials tend to steal resonance and make the sound heavy and uninspiring. SG-TOP uses an ultra-thin layer of Neofade on just one layer, carefully suppressing only unnecessary vibrations while maintaining clarity, dynamism, and airiness of the music.
This is why Eau Rouge CFRP products are highly regarded.

Simultaneous control of electromagnetic shielding and top plate resonance

SG-TOP is optimally sized at 120×120 mm, effective when placed on a wide range of equipment including CD players, amplifiers, network players, DACs, and speakers.
It suppresses top plate resonance, manages micro-vibrations within the enclosure, and adds the unique electromagnetic shielding effect of CFRP. As a result, S/N ratio improves, background quietness is enhanced, and the sound image becomes more defined.

An easy-to-introduce CFRP item that delivers noticeable improvement

No major modifications or disassembly required.
Simply placing it on top deepens the soundstage, eliminates muddiness in the low range, and brings out the details in the mid and high frequencies.
It is an ideal item for audio enthusiasts who want to easily experience the effects of CFRP.
