Know before you buy
The 'Ambient' configuration, with the rounded side facing down, creates a more expansive and holographic soundstage. The 'Pin-Point' configuration, with the pointed side facing down, focuses the energy for tighter bass, sharper imaging, and increased detail.
Yes, the MiG SX is designed for universal compatibility. They work effectively under amplifiers, DACs, streamers, and turntables to manage mechanical vibrations and electrical noise.
The set includes three units, which is the standard configuration for most components. Placing them in a tripod formation provides the most stable and sonically balanced support.
Each unit is precision-machined from aircraft aluminum and carbon fiber. Inside, they feature a high-carbon steel resonator and a UEF element to actively manage resonance and vibration.
Each unit measures 3.2 inches in diameter and 1.3 inches in height. Ensure you have at least 1.3 inches of vertical clearance beneath your component to accommodate the feet.
No, the MiG SX units are designed to sit freely under your equipment. The weight of your component keeps them securely in place, allowing you to easily experiment with placement and tuning configurations.
