Know before you buy
The Iso Base is specifically engineered to fit the Orbe SE, Gyro SE, and TecnoDec turntable models.
By using inert aluminum construction and included tenderfeet, the base decouples your turntable from the surface it sits on. This isolation minimizes external vibrations and resonance, resulting in a cleaner, more detailed playback.
While the Iso Base is designed specifically for the dimensions and weight distribution of Michell Engineering decks, it can technically be used with other turntables. However, you should ensure the footprint and weight of your specific model align with the base's design for optimal stability.
No modifications are required. The Iso Base acts as a stable platform that sits directly under your turntable, and the included tenderfeet provide the necessary interface between the deck and the base.
Yes, the base is compatible with both drive types. Its primary function is to provide mechanical isolation, which benefits any turntable by reducing the impact of environmental vibrations on the stylus.
