Introducing 3D⁽²⁾ Technology.

As modern audio systems have become increasingly more revealing bringing higher resolution and clarity to music, so too it often reveals noise and imperfections throughout the audio path. Noise can be amplified throughout the audio path leaving smeared bass or a closed soundstage as well as other issues. Call it 'noise-floor' or 'smearing', the effect is to colour the sound. When removed the soundstage opens up and frequencies are rendered clearer and more accurately to the listener.

To combat these issues Les Davis Audio started researching the use of a mechanical engineering technique known in the aerospace and aviation industry as Constrained-layer damping , or CLD. In CLD, a relatively thin, low-mass damping layer is trapped, or constrained between the surface to be damped and a stiff counter layer, so that when the surface vibrates, the mechanical energy is 'trapped' between the two and evenly dissipated in the constrained layer as heat.

Les Davis Audio's 3D⁽²⁾ technology is designed to be used with audio speakers by removing cabinet distortion and with any and electronic components. It works in this domain by removing electrical noise. The removal of electrical noise enables the 3D(2) to significantly improve digital audio either in use with a CD player, hard drive storage or streaming device. It can also be used to ground speaker cables, interconnects, power cables and power boards. The 33⅓D model is specifically designed for use as a turntable slip mat, reducing vibration between stylus and record giving a greatly improved audio performance.
