Wilson Audio | Acoustic Diode Upgrade Kit

Wilson Audio Alexx V | Acoustic Diode Building upon the research and development of Pedestal, the Special Applications Engineering Team is excited to announce the Wilson Audio Acoustic Diode™ (AD Spike for short). At the heart of the Acoustic Diode is Wilson's proprietary “V Material.” This superior constrained layer damping composite is unsurpassed in vibration absorption and resonance control. View Product > The Science Energy from the enclosure migrates into the V-Material where it is faced with the effective damping properties of this efficient material. The mass of the loudspeaker concentrated onto the very small ends of the spike tips results in significant levels of PSI that prevent detrimental vibrations from traveling upward into the footer. Those vibrations that do travel up the spike are absorbed by the mass of the Acoustic Diode and have to travel through the V-Material to have a chance to influence the enclosure. Keeping the spike and threaded post separate prevent a direct path for vibrations to travel, or interplay, and are therefore dissipated and absorbed in either the V-Material or the footer housing. This distinctive design, combined with advanced vibration-mitigating materials, provides the best of both worlds; a solid base from which the drivers can launch as well as preventing the transmission of energy from the floor to the loudspeakers. Separation in the Assembly A machined V-Material insert is inset into the robust austenitic stainless-steel diode housing. A stainless-steel post is then threaded into this exclusive V-Material, never touching the diode component. On the bottom of the diode, a spike is threaded into the diode housing, but it does not couple with the V-Material insert. Once the Acoustic Diodes are installed into the loudspeaker, only the V-Material section of the diode comes in contact with the bottom of the loudspeaker. Availability Current thread sizes available: 1/2”-13 (all current Wilson Audio speakers) and 3/8”-16 (most retired Wilson Audio speakers). More thread size options to accommodate a variety of loudspeaker brands coming later in 2021. Order online or in-store now! View Product > Wilson Audio Acoustic Diode Kit Contact Us >
