Magnetic floating that can be stored in a rack. Audio board that improves sound quality more than you can imagine
The MGB-50 is an audio base that combines the beautiful sounding Asada cherry laminated wood with strong African ebony wood, and the repulsive action of neodymium magnets floats the board itself. Although it is large enough to be stored in a rack, it has a high vibration damping effect.
It is floated by magnets equivalent to the MGB-1 and is suitable for relatively heavy products weighing 5~30 kg (power amplifiers, large CD players, analog players, etc.).
Vibration Isolation Mechanism
While a typical audio board dampens vibrations, a magnetic floating base floats the audio equipment almost non-contact, ensuring that vibrations from the floor are not transmitted.
- Elimination of Resonance: It eliminates not only external vibrations, but also resonances of the audio equipment itself and reflected vibrations to the enclosure.
- Improved signal-to-noise ratio: The noise reduction improves the signal-to-noise ratio, making the sound field quieter and providing better visibility into the space.

Effects on analog players
When the MGB-50 is placed under an analog player, the first thing is that the increase in the number of notes and the amount of information is clearly felt. The player's inherent micro-vibrations are suppressed, and small signals that have been buried in the past naturally emerge, making the contours of the sound clearer. As the background calms down, the extinction edge is lengthened, the low frequencies sink deeply, and the high frequency cut is also improved. On the piano, the touch becomes stronger, and the nuances of weak notes become surprisingly clear.
Improvements in CD players
When used with a CD player, it seems that vibrations from the internal mechanism can escape more easily, making improvements in the S/N ratio very noticeable. The background becomes quieter, and the depth and transparency of the soundstage increase. The low notes of the piano make chords clearer, and in a cappella, the voices gain a sense of presence. In an orchestra, the layers of each part are clearly organized, and even in tutti passages, the sound remains highly resolved without muddiness.
Changes in Soundstage, Clarity, and Tone
By isolating vibrations, the noise floor is lowered and the S/N ratio improves. The soundstage becomes quieter, and the spatial clarity is enhanced. By removing the swelling in the mid-lows, the tonal quality becomes calm and clear without muddiness, and transparency greatly increases. The high frequencies extend naturally, the lows are deep and powerful, and the overall response is well balanced.
Size and Ease of Handling
The MGB-50 is a medium size that fits neatly on the shelves of the company's rack, making it very easy to use. Its compact size also makes it convenient to try with multiple devices and offers excellent installability.
Changes When Using with a Spike Base
Adding a spike base increases instantaneous responsiveness and makes the sonic framework even stronger. The pizzicato of a double bass gains thickness, and the kick drum sounds deep and clean without muddiness. In a cappella, breathing and expression become even clearer, and in an orchestra, dynamics are expanded, highlighting the power and freshness of tutti passages.
