Overview

Nordost Sort Kone – Resonance Control System

The Nordost Sort Kone is a directly coupled, mechanically tuned resonance-control device designed to improve the mechanical grounding of sensitive HiFi electronics. Rather than simply isolating equipment from outside vibration, Sort Kones are engineered to provide a controlled mechanical path for unwanted resonance generated inside the component itself, including vibration from transformers, power supplies, capacitors, and active circuitry.

Placed beneath components such as amplifiers, preamplifiers, DACs, streamers, CD players, and power products, Sort Kones are designed to improve mechanical stability and help reveal greater focus, transparency, depth, dynamic range, and musical detail.

Key Features

  • High-performance resonance-control device
  • Directly coupled and mechanically tuned design
  • Provides a direct mechanical grounding path for internally generated vibration
  • Three-part construction using carefully selected materials
  • Designed to bypass soft factory-installed equipment feet
  • Can be used in sets of 3, 4, or more, depending on the component and application
  • 56 mm height
  • Available in three performance levels
  • Sold individually, allowing the number and placement to be optimized for each component

Available Sort Kone Models
