Rather than hinder trick-DJs by enabling a "jelly wobble" effect to exist when they make adjustments, as with more primitive isolation systems, the Isonoe system acts as a 2-way shock absorber which cushions forces induced into the platter / plinth by the DJ's hands, without springing back abruptly. Excessive lateral movement by isolation systems employing air, springs or suchlike, creates uneven wear on both the stylus, and more importantly the sides of the vinyl groove. If the plinth / platter are subject to sufficient force, the Isonoe system will spring back in a gentle, "viscous" manner, whereby it returns to the horizontal state gradually and smoothly (compression of the visco-elastic polymer coupling will only occur in incidences of extreme physical abuse). A typical DJ turntable weighs 12kg, therefore the bearings in the base will not slide around if lateral forces are exerted (e.g: "back cueing") upon the supported device. The isolators are equally effective at blocking the ingress of vibration into the mechanical assemblies of both turntables, and CD players - the more isolation from vibration afforded to the optical tracking mechanism within a CD-player, the less work needs to be performed by the error-correction software, thus preserving detail and spatial integrity.

Design & materials

Designed utilizing cutting-edge 3D CAD modeling and simulation, the Isonoe isolation system is machined from raw magnesium alloy billets by multi-axis CNC machinery to within a tolerance of 1 micron. The system embodies numerous mechanisms that inhibit the transfer of vibration: The central cradle mechanism (application filed with the Patent Office) is formed from a visco-elastic polymer able to deflect vibrational energies across a broad bandwidth. The body and hub are made from a specific grade of magnesium alloy imbued with exceptionally high rigidity, implemented to maximize the ratio of stiffness between the elastomer cradle and the alloy (the higher the ratio in favor of the alloy, the greater the efficacy of the elastomer cradle). Stainless-steel bearings in the base of the outer body block the transfer of energy by keeping the point of physical contact area between surfaces to a minimum (akin to a more contemporary version of spikes in hi-fi). Each isolator has a 6mm thread making the system compatible as a retro fit with many industry standard turntables and CD-players.
