EsseCI Design S.A.P. Audio Relexa Series – Floating isolation platform…

A particularly ingenious construction, an elegant appearance, this is what the latest insulation platform from the Italian developer Dipl. Ing. Silvio Cremonesi and his company EsseCI Design has to offer. CMI Distribution Europe exclusively distributes these solutions, namely the models EsseCI Design S.A.P. Audio Relexa 530, EsseCI Design S.A.P. Audio Relexa 622 and the brand new EsseCI Design S.A.P. Audio Relexa 750


Above all, record players or CD players require a “solid” foundation for optimum performance, whereby this means first and foremost that optimum decoupling from the ground is guaranteed. This is the only way to ensure that vibrations are not transmitted, which would have a sound-damaging effect. For these reasons many people swear by an optimal decoupling of other components of a HiFi system, such as amplifiers, not only amplifiers based on the very sensitive tube technology, as well as streaming clients, D/A converters and the like.

The market has various solutions ready, and it is astonishing how different approaches are taken by the various manufacturers.

A specialist in this field is Dipl. Ing. Silvio Cremonesi from EsseCI Design, who has been working on so-called isolation platforms for years. His latest solution is called EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa Series and is based on a patent from 1999.

The EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa Series is characterised by two outstanding features: on the one hand, it has a very exciting mode of operation, and on the other hand, it has an outstanding design.

For example, the Italian company EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa Series uses tempered glass, which is described by the manufacturer as an absolutely rigid material and is therefore the ideal material. This should be able to withstand even long and heavy loads. The special feature, however, is that this glass of the EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa Series actually floats above the ground, as the actual insulation is based on magnets, particularly powerful neodymium magnets. These magnets are designed to prevent any influence from external vibrations, regardless of frequency and type. According to the manufacturer, this enables an insulation that cannot be achieved with any other solution.

The magnetic field here is vertically aligned, and even the slight residual magnetism is shielded by the housing used here. The base plate is actually not a plate, but rather an elegantly curved, very slender frame. Only two guide pins ensure that the glass plate is held in position.

And this brings us to the second special feature of the new EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa Series. In comparison to many other solutions in this area, which appear rather technically sober, this is a product that looks very elegant and can therefore be easily integrated into any environment. Yes, one can probably speak of a design object here.

Fortunately, the platform can also be adjusted via adjusting screws, which are located in the magnet housings here. In order to ensure an absolutely horizontal alignment, a circular spirit level is integrated.

It is important to emphasize that the new EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa Series is extremely solid; after all, according to the manufacturer’s specifications, it carries a wide variety of components with a mass of between 3 and 30 kg, one model even stands out with a load capacity of up to 50 kg.

The actual usable area of the EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa Series varies from model to model. For example, the EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa 622 offers an actual usable area of 489 mm in width and 400 mm in depth. Another option is the EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa 530, which can accommodate solutions up to 512 mm wide and 460 mm deep. Furthermore, the EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa 750 model is now available, which can also accommodate solutions with dimensions of up to 515 mm in width and 460 mm in depth. The outstanding feature of this latest isolation platform from Italy is, as mentioned above, its load capacity of up to 50 kg.

As can be seen, this is a very ingenious solution, and the manufacturer has invested a great deal of time and effort in it. Consequently, it is clear that this is not the cheapest solution available on the market. Anyone who is enthusiastic about the new EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa 622 will have to budget € 1,099 for it. The EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa 530 solution costs € 1.199,-. The EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa 750 system costs € 1.299,-

While the EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa 622 and EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa 530 solutions have been available in specialist shops for some time, the EsseCI Design S.A.P Audio Relexa 750 solution is now also available these days.
