Tiglon MZX-4 Hybrid Insulator | 日本TiGLON MZX-4 混合式避震釘​墊​

 

TIGLON'S LINEUP includes several different types of anti-vibration products. These are: racks, platforms, accessories that the manufacturer calls "tuning" ones, speaker stands also for Harbeth-type speakers. The MZX-4 feet we tested can be found in the "Tuning Accessories" section with the subtitle "Hybrid Insulators".

Introduced in February 2022, the MZX-4s are small, lightweight anti-vibration feet. Standing 33 mm tall, they are ϕ 48 mm in diameter at the bottom and 33 mm at the top. Each weighs 49 g and is designed to support products weighing no more than 20 kg. For four feet, however, it adds up to 80 kg.

By describing their design as hybrid, the manufacturer meant that they are made of two types of materials. The heart of them consists of two magnesium alloy elements: a base with a milled recess (cup) and the element on which the device is placed, which has a blade on the side of the base. Thus, it is a mechanically simple assembly based on extinguishing vibrations by draining them from the top through a mechanical "diode" (that's the aforementioned blade). Vibrations are extinguished both in the lower disc and in the plywood piece into which it is fitted; it is this second type of material. The plywood is made from Russian birch, according to the manufacturer.

The manufacturer describes the concept as follows:

The shape of the cup prevents the spikes from falling or sliding, and the hybrid structure ensures a well-balanced and filled sound. In addition, the "D-REN Tuning Ring," which was first used in the flagship "GMR" stand, is mounted inside the cup to create an all-encompassing listening experience.

The D-REN Ring they mention is indeed a puck that is applied to the feet in their top rack. Its name suggests its purposes: "drain" is designed to channel vibrations outward and discharge static electricity. Here the ring has been inserted into the base. And, note, it is not any "ring", but one made of a selected material, and Tiglon owns, associated with it, patent obtained later in 2019.

Let’s add ,that both magnesium components can also be purchased as stand-alone products. The MZ-1 is then a stand with a bowl, and the MZ-2 is a stand with a spike. And one more thing: these feet are available in both three and four pieces sets. In the first case, the product is called MZX-3 and we will pay 1000 PLN for it, and in the second case, MZX-4 and it costs 1150 PLN; it is really an inexpensive, very nice-looking product.

 

Tiglon MZX-4 Hybrid Insulator | 日本TiGLON MZX-4 混合式避震釘​墊​ This is the hybrid insulator of magnesium and birch, made by strengthening the magnesium insulator “M series”. We use the white birch “Tiglon birch” grown and manufactured in-house, pursuing better sound quality. The cup shape prevents the spikes from falling and shifting and improves the sound quality. The existing M1 and M2 are also reborn as hybrid insulators by adding only the cup.

 

「處理震動」,注意我不是說「消除」震動, 因為震動是無法百分百消除的, 事實上我們也不必完全消除震動, 我們要做的是「處理」所謂「處理震動」就是利用適當妥善的方法, 把震動化為好聲的助力。如此一來, 你就可以輕鬆的獲得好聲。
