Atacama Aurora 6 Speaker Stands 600mm (AURORA6)

The audiophile aspects of Aurora have not been ignored. The problem when using so much glass in a speaker stand design is the possibility of “ringing”. (A similar effect happens when you rub your finger around the edge of a wine glass.) To eliminate this problem, Atacama have looked to the specialist motor sport industry where vibration is also a concern. High performance race cars can suffer from high frequency sonic vibration particularly on suspension and engine mount components. By working closely with a specialist motor sport component supplier, Atacama have been able to develop the A.S.I.S.T. Gasket (Atacama Sonic Isolation System Technology), which is fitted to both ends of the Aurora glass column. The A.S.I.S.T. Gasket eliminates resonance within the glass column and also provides a secure interface for the top and base plates. This, combined with reducing floor contact by 25% by utilising 3 heavy duty carpet spikes instead of 4, significantly improves isolation and dampening over a conventional speaker stand.
The aesthetics of the Aurora are also very clear to see from first glance. The glass column can be filled with just about anything you can think of, (with the exception of liquids or living things!). The possibilities to colour coordinate with the surrounding décor are endless and once you get tired of the filling you have, you simply remove it and replace with something else. Some examples of fillings include coloured glass beads or sand, or even boiled sweets, it’s your choice!
