AudioQuest Sorbogel Q-Foot

The Q-Foot works by absorbing and dissipating mechanical vibrations before they reach your sensitive audio components. By converting kinetic energy into heat, they prevent unwanted resonance from muddying the sound, resulting in a cleaner, more nuanced playback.

While they are categorized as isolation feet, they are actually most effective under spinning mechanisms. They work exceptionally well under turntables, CD players, and even hard drives, where mechanical noise can interfere with performance.

Sorbogel is a specialized viscoelastic material designed specifically to dampen vibrations across a wide frequency range. Unlike standard rubber, which can be too hard or too soft, this material is engineered to maximize compliance and energy dissipation.

Yes, the partial center hole is a deliberate design choice that increases the surface area and compliance of the foot. This allows the material to flex more effectively, which improves its ability to absorb and convert vibration into heat.

These are primarily designed for vibration-sensitive components like disc players and turntables rather than heavy power amplifiers. If you are placing them under very heavy gear, check the weight distribution to ensure the material doesn't compress too much, which would reduce its effectiveness.
