The HRS Nimbus System incorporates a highly effective design to eliminate component chassis noise, revealing a new level of musical performance. These products are precision manufactured from billet-machined aircraft aluminum and proprietary HRS polymers. A very specific amount of mass, stiffness, and damping from these products eliminates chassis resonance problems and transforms residual chassis energy to heat. This special system is utilized by audiophiles and industry professionals as their reference chassis noise reduction system.
There are two primary components to the Nimbus system:
The HRS Nimbus system is placed directly on the shelf, supporting your component with one of the all polymer Nimbus Couplers in contact with the surface of the shelf, and another in direct contact with the bottom chassis of the component (not the existing component feet). The Nimbus Spacer is selected to give you the desired height of the system.
The HRS Nimbus is designed so that sets of three or four units arranged as shown in the diagrams below will provide exceptional performance on any standard-size component.
3 Nimbus Assemblies
4 Nimbus Assemblies
5 Nimbus Assemblies
HRS recommends using a pattern of at least three Nimbus Assemblies to support a component. If the component’s base is over 100 square inches in area, using four or five Nimbus Assemblies can significantly improve performance. The HRS Nimbus is designed to provide exceptional performance on a standard-size component using four Nimbus Assemblies.
Do not underestimate the power of our Nimbus and Damping Plate products to significantly improve your system performance. They are critical elements to obtaining world class performance in many systems. The impact of reducing chassis noise is a key element of the Harmonic Resolution Systems technical approach to high performance audio.
