"IsoGroove is an innovative technology that eliminates the age-old issue of turntables creating a feed back loop with speakers. The technology allows Spinbase to be placed directly underneath your turntable, serving as both an elegant platform and wide-range loudspeaker system." - Andover Audio

ISOGROOVE TECHNOLOGY EXPLAINED

IsoGroove uses (3) main technologies in combination. It was developed by a team that developed components for Cambridge SoundWorks, A/D/S and JBL.
The first and most significant is the speakers are arrayed such that the basic mechanical vibrations cancel each other.
The surface was analyzed for vibration patterns. Strategically placed bracing minimize the vibrations even further.
Lastly, a DSP (digital signal processor) is utilized at low frequencies to ensure that low frequencies are always balanced to provide maximum vibration cancellation regardless of musical content.
