A majority of source components have a center of gravity that is approximately
near the geometric center of the component. However, some amplifiers and source
components can have significant variation in weight distribution that is dependent
on the design layout of the heavier objects within the component.
The HRS G7 feet are not sensitive to component weight or weight distribution. You
can use the HRS G7 feet with any component weight and any weight distribution.
For the SF/LF feet the ideal isolation base setup is to have the center of gravity of
the component in the geometric center of the isolation base. This will result in even
loading of the SF/LF feet. This can be achieved by estimating the center of gravity
of your component and placing it in the geometric center of the isolation base. Even
loading of the SF/LF feet can also be achieved by moving the component until the
isolation base is level.

Component and Isolation Base
If you have a component that does not allow you to locate the center of gravity near
the geometric center of the isolation base with SF/LF feet, you can utilize a custom
combination of isolation feet to accommodate a significant variation in isolator
loading. Please consult with your authorized HRS retailer or HRS directly if you
have questions regarding proper loading of your E1 Isolation Base. Custom HRS
Isolation Bases built for a specific component model have already been set up for
that specific component weight distribution. If the component is centered on the
custom isolation base and the HRS logo is in the right front corner then the loading
of a custom base model is correct.
