Stillpoints Ultra 1 V2

The Ultra 1 is the newest addition to the Stillpoints range, they launched in April 2024, they replace the popular Ultra SS.

They are superior to the Ultra SS and much closer to the Ultra 2 in terms of performance, although they are shorter than the Ultra 2.

They are incredibly powerful in terms of their ability to mechanically lower the noise floor, in the short time since their release the Ultra 1 has gone down incredibly well with customers, I’ve demonstrated and installed them on all manner of components, integrated amplifiers, DACs, streamers and a couple of pairs of standmount speakers.

The Ultra 1 V2 is only available in a powder coated black finish, they have a single technology pocket on the top and on the bottom is has 1/4-20 thread for connecting a Stillpoints adapter to. If you are using Ultra 1 underneath electronics the technology pocket needs to make direct contact with the chassis of your equipment (they do not go under the feet), if you are using them underneath speakers you require a set of the correct sized threads and they attached where the spikes would normally fit. If you have stand mount speakers they will perform best if positioned in between the speaker and the stand.

All electronics have unwanted mechanical vibrations and noise running around the chassis and through the circuit boards, by positioning Stillpoints underneath the chassis they drain this mechanical noise into the Stillpoint which in turn lowers the noise floor and improves the performance.

They heighten transparency, increase the air and space that exists around the musicians, they also improve bass weight and scale, they are not a subtle addition!

A new smaller Ultra Base is due for release soon which will give Ultra 1 some levelling adjustment.
