Know before you buy
These plates act as a protective barrier between your equipment spikes and your furniture. They prevent the sharp metal spikes from scratching or denting delicate surfaces like wood or glass hi-fi racks.
POM (polyoxymethylene) is a high-density polymer known for its excellent vibration-damping characteristics. By absorbing micro-vibrations and managing resonance, these plates can help tighten bass response and improve overall sonic clarity.
If your component uses four spikes, you will need to purchase two sets of the AC022 plates. It is important to use a plate under every spike to ensure the component remains level and stable.
Yes, the Clearaudio POM plates are designed to accommodate most standard audio spikes. Their flat, durable surface provides a stable seating point for virtually any pointed equipment foot.
While these plates are primarily designed to protect hard surfaces like wood or glass, they can be used on carpet if you place them on top of a solid base or platform. However, they are most effective when used directly on hard furniture surfaces where spike damage is a concern.
