Essenza Easy Feet – Essenza by Bassocontinuo presents compact decoupling feet for electronics, loudspeakers and turntables

Vibration control is one of those HiFi subjects that tends to sit quietly in the background — until the system is resolving enough to make it matter. With the Essenza Easy Feet, Bassocontinuo Audio Systems S.r.l. brings a more compact and accessible interpretation of its isolation know-how to real-world systems. Three dedicated versions cover electronics, monitor loudspeakers and turntables, without requiring the owner to commit to a full audio rack.

Story Highlights
  • The Essenza Easy Feet are conceived as a practical way of introducing controlled mechanical decoupling into existing HiFi systems. Instead of treating vibration control as the exclusive preserve of elaborate racks, Essenza by Bassocontinuo makes it available in a compact, component-specific form.

Bassocontinuo Audio Systems S.r.l. is expanding the Essenza by Bassocontinuo portfolio with a compact accessory line aimed at one of the more stubbornly underestimated areas of HiFi system building: mechanical vibration control. The new Essenza Easy Feet are conceived as isolation feet for electronics, monitor loudspeakers and record players, absorbing and dissipating unwanted vibration before it can compromise the working conditions of sensitive audio components. First presented at HIGH END Vienna 2026 in Vienna, the range comprises three dedicated versions, each tailored to a specific application. The idea is straightforward but far from trivial: to bring meaningful decoupling to systems where a full-scale audio rack is either not available, not practical or simply not part of the plan.

Essenza Easy Feet – The smaller sibling of the Ultra Feet by Bassocontinuo

Bassocontinuo Audio Systems S.r.l. positions the Essenza Easy Feet as the more compact and deliberately accessible counterpart to the more elaborate Ultra Feet by Bassocontinuo. The underlying principle, however, remains closely related: unwanted vibration should not be allowed to pass into HiFi components in an uncontrolled manner, but should instead be managed, damped and discharged in a predictable way.

In serious HiFi systems, mechanical influence is rarely a theatrical subject, yet it is often a decisive one. Vibrations can enter the system through furniture, floors, loudspeakers or the chassis of the component itself. Once there, they may affect electronics, disc mechanisms, turntables and other sensitive assemblies. The Essenza Easy Feet address this interface between component and support surface, offering a relatively simple means of improving mechanical separation without rebuilding the entire system around a specialist rack.

Smart Vibrations Control – Decoupling for everyday systems

Essenza by Bassocontinuo describes the Easy Feet concept as “Smart Vibrations Control”. What is meant by this is not an over-engineered laboratory approach, but a compact and practical form of vibration management suited to existing systems.

The Easy Feet can be placed beneath components either in direct replacement of the original equipment feet or underneath them. According to Bassocontinuo Audio Systems S.r.l., the important point is to respect the support positions defined by the component manufacturer. This preserves the intended mechanical load distribution while adding an additional decoupling layer between the equipment and the surface below.

Visco-elastic materials for energy absorption

Technically, Essenza by Bassocontinuo combines solid stainless steel housings with damping materials selected according to the specific model. The outer bodies are CNC-machined from solid stainless steel, while the actual decoupling work is carried out by different materials positioned internally or at the contact points.

Under load, or when exposed to vibration, the visco-elastic materials used in the Easy Feet are designed to absorb part of the mechanical energy and convert it into heat. The intention is to reduce the transmission of unwanted resonances. Bassocontinuo Audio Systems S.r.l. states the sonic objective as improved definition, greater clarity, higher detail resolution and a more open presentation.

Three models for different applications

The Essenza Easy Feet range consists of three versions. Each is designed for a specific use case and differs in construction, damping material and load capacity.

The Essenza Easy Feet Tier 1 are intended for electronic components. They use a two-stage decoupling arrangement with different rubber materials acting both towards the component and towards the support surface.

The Essenza Easy Feet Tier 2 are aimed at users of compact loudspeakers and monitor loudspeakers. Here, Essenza by Bassocontinuo combines a rubber support on the upper side with internal Torlon balls to control vibration in a targeted manner.

The Essenza Easy Feet Tier 3 have been developed specifically for turntables. In this version, rubber materials are joined by Technogel at the contact surface towards the support. The Tier 3 model is also height-adjustable, a particularly relevant feature for record players, where accurate horizontal alignment is not a nicety but a fundamental requirement.

For use with an audio rack – or without one

Bassocontinuo Audio Systems S.r.l. does not present the Essenza Easy Feet merely as an add-on for existing rack systems. They can of course be used together with a high-quality audio rack to further refine vibration control. Equally, however, they are intended as a standalone accessory solution where a conventional HiFi rack is ruled out by space, budget or the practical realities of the listening room.

That makes the Essenza Easy Feet relevant for listeners who want to address isolation and resonance control without immediately moving into a complete rack solution. Compact systems, desktop audio setups, turntable installations and carefully chosen individual components are all natural candidates for this kind of accessory.


The key benefits at a glance

  • Targeted vibration control: The Easy Feet are designed to reduce unwanted mechanical energy at the point where component and support surface meet, helping the system operate under more stable conditions.
  • Easy to retrofit: They can be introduced beneath existing components without dismantling the entire HiFi system or changing the basic layout of the installation.
  • Application-specific versions: With dedicated models for electronics, monitor loudspeakers and turntables, the range acknowledges that different components place different demands on isolation and damping.
  • Useful even without an audio rack: The Easy Feet offer a compact route to decoupling for users who have limited space, a modest budget or no wish to invest in a full rack system.
  • Solid stainless steel construction: The CNC-machined solid stainless steel body provides a robust, precise and materially substantial foundation for the damping elements.
  • Flexible set options: Sets of three or four pieces allow the Easy Feet to be matched sensibly to different component layouts and support requirements.

Price and availability

The Essenza Easy Feet from Essenza by Bassocontinuo are available through the dealer network of Bassocontinuo Audio Systems S.r.l. The range comprises Essenza Easy Feet Tier 1 for electronics, Essenza Easy Feet Tier 2 for monitor loudspeakers and Essenza Easy Feet Tier 3 for turntables. Depending on the model, the feet are supplied in sets of three or four pieces, with Essenza Easy Feet Tier 2 listed exclusively as a set of four.

The Essenza Easy Feet Tier 1 are priced at € 89,- for the set of three and € 119,- for the set of four. Essenza Easy Feet Tier 2 are offered as a set of four at € 199,-. Essenza Easy Feet Tier 3 cost € 139,- as a set of three and € 169,- as a set of four.

Conclusion

With the Essenza Easy Feet, Bassocontinuo Audio Systems S.r.l. brings vibration control into a notably compact and approachable form. Not every listener can accommodate, justify or even desire a dedicated audio rack, yet the mechanical foundation of a HiFi system remains a factor worth taking seriously. This is precisely where the Easy Feet from Essenza by Bassocontinuo make sense: small, flexible, clearly divided by application and easy to introduce into an existing system. The separation into versions for electronics, monitor loudspeakers and turntables is particularly welcome, because these are not interchangeable use cases; each places its own demands on damping, load distribution and mechanical stability.
