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 R3X 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.
