Shunyata Research Dark Field Suspension System

I know the name of this Shunyata product sounds like it was invented for use in a science fiction movie, but this is a product which definitely has its place!

The DF-SS is essentially a cable lifter for want of a best description, they are designed to be used under speaker cables, interconnect cables and power cables to prevent them from coming into contact with the floor, they can also be used in and around equipment supports.

Shunyata’s original cable elevator was called the ‘Dark Field Elevator’, which had a US patent on it, this new version builds on the performance of that model with a few subtle changes. Essentially all floors vibrate to some degree (especially when music is playing) and that unwanted vibrational energy can get in the way of letting your cables performing to the best of their ability when they are laid on the floor.

The polymer band that sits across the top of the DF-SS has the ability to dissipate vibrational energy, preventing it from being coupled between the floor and the cable, this band can also dissipate static energy (very common on carpeted floors)

The second improvement comes from the granular compound that fills the base of the elevator. This compound works alongside the polymer band to further dissipates vibrational energy that would otherwise couple to the cable, that may cause a subtle form of signal distortion.

The Shunyata Research Dark Field Suspension System effectiveness has been demonstrated with accelerometer tests that clearly show its ability to reduce floor borne vibration which is common to all listening environments. By preventing these floor borne vibrations attacking your cables you end up with subtle improvements in clarity and focus in your system.
