Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme – Multi-Resonanz Diffusor

A so-called multi-resonance diffuser with high mass is what Blue Horizon Ideas Ltd. wants to offer with the new Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme, a solution that serves as a particularly versatile product for speaker systems as well as hi-fi components.

With the new Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme, the company Blue Horizon Ideas Ltd. expands in the field of hi-fi accessories by a particularly exciting solution, which is dedicated to the optimal placement of hi-fi components but also speaker systems. This is a so-called multi-resonance diffuser, which should always be used when it comes to a particularly effective suppression of resonances and vibrations.

The new Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme is a particularly sophisticated system that relies on high mass and dissipates energy particularly quickly and effectively through a minimal contact point.

Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme – The ultimate tool for eliminating resonance energy

The quite unusual design that the specialist from England uses here is already striking, because the new Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme presents itself in the form of a cone, whereby stainless steel is used as the material.

This precision-manufactured case contributes to the extremely elegant appearance of the Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme, but it also fulfills a very practical task.

According to the manufacturer, the special shape alone should contribute significantly to the effectiveness of the mode of action by dissipating resonances as quickly as possible with high efficiency. In addition, the cone shape made of stainless steel forms the solid frame for a complex system for reducing vibrations.

Thus, three hardened steel balls are found in a recess on the upper side, which in turn rest on an elastomer, which the manufacturer calls a chaotic resonance deadening compound, or RDC for short. In addition, the underside of the Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme is covered with a compressed cork and rubber mixture.

This combines materials with completely different properties of density and elasticity and thus ultimately the damping, so that the promised multi-resonance diffuser for the elimination of sound-damaging resonances as well as for the reduction of vibrations results.

The manufacturer explicitly points out that the Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme has no tonal signature or characteristic, so that it does not shift the sound of an audio system in one direction or another, but simply performs its service neutrally.

Immensely resilient

It should be emphasized that the new Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme boasts an impressive load capacity. The Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme is offered in sets of four, each of which has a point load of over 100 kg.

You can use them for really any HiFi component and even massive speaker systems are no real challenge for the Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme.

The Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme measures 55 mm in diameter and has a height of 20 mm.

Pricing and Availability

As just described, the new Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme will be offered in a set of four, with the suggested retail price listed at €499. The Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme should be available at retailers immediately.

Getting to the point

The new Blue Horizon Spike Shoe Extreme, presented by Keith Martin’s company, Blue Horizon Ideas Ltd, is said to be a particularly effective solution for avoiding vibrations and resonances that damage the sound. Here, according to the manufacturer, two mechanical systems come in parallel, one that reduces cabinet and speaker resonances, a second that eliminates resonances over a wide frequency range. In total, this results in a multi-resonance diffuser that ensures a more precise reproduction. The fact that you have to dig a little deeper into your pocket is due on the one hand to the sophisticated mode of operation, but also to the high-quality workmanship, which ensures an impressive load-bearing capacity and thus versatile applications.
