Know before you buy
The zaZen I decouples your turntable from the surface it sits on, effectively blocking structure-borne vibrations. By reducing these micro-vibrations, it lowers the noise floor, which allows your cartridge to track more accurately and reveal finer details in your records.
Yes, the zaZen I is also highly effective for sensitive audio components like tube amplifiers, CD players, and DACs. Any component that is susceptible to vibration-induced distortion will benefit from the platform's isolation technology.
The platform measures 17 inches wide by 15 inches deep. You should measure the footprint of your turntable's feet—not just the chassis—to ensure they fit comfortably within these dimensions.
Yes, the zaZen I is rated for a maximum weight capacity of 25 lbs. It is important to weigh your equipment to ensure it falls within this limit to maintain the effectiveness of the integrated isolation technology.
No assembly is required. Simply place the zaZen I on a stable surface and position your audio component directly on top of the platform.
While standard feet provide some dampening, the zaZen I combines a high-mass, dense fiber platform with patented integrated isolators. This dual-action approach manages both the vibration of the component itself and the vibrations traveling through the furniture, providing a more comprehensive isolation solution.
