Introduction 

 

 

 
Thank you for purchasing the Harmonic Resolution Systems VXR Audio Stand. 
When used properly, it will give you many years of superior musical or video 
signal reproduction. 
 
 
The VXR Audio Stand significantly reduces the negative impact of structure-borne 
noise on your audio or video component performance. Decades of engineering 
experience, custom material development, and listening tests are incorporated 
into the design of the VXR Audio Stand. This reference level product from 
Harmonic Resolution Systems, Inc. will enable your audio/video source and 
amplification components to achieve peak performance. 
 
 
The VXR Audio Stand, which includes the HRS Isolation Base as the primary shelf 
system, is a perfect match for the HRS Damping Plates, Nimbus, and Vortex 
products. While the VXR Audio Stand and Isolation Bases work to significantly 
reduce structure-borne noise, the HRS Damping Plates, Nimbus, and Vortex 
products significantly reduce the harmful effects of airborne noise and structural 
resonance on your components’ chassis. 
 
 
Please read this manual 

completely

 prior to assembly and use of your VXR Audio 

Stand. It contains instructions necessary for proper assembly, use, and care of 
this system. Proper care of your VXR Audio Stand will ensure optimum 
performance and an aesthetically appealing system.
