Thorens TAB 1600 Absorber Base

Thorens TAB 1600 Absorber Base at Vinyl Sound

Total Isolation for Flawless Vinyl Playback.

Maximize the performance of your turntable with the Thorens TAB 1600 Absorber Base. Available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada, this specially developed isolation platform is designed to decouple your record player from its resting surface, eliminating the acoustic feedback and structural vibrations that blur your analog sound.

The Principle of Decoupling

While many isolation accessories rely on the principle of coupling via metal spikes—which can sometimes negatively transmit structure-borne noise into the ground—Thorens utilizes the superior principle of complete decoupling. By placing your turntable on the TAB 1600, you effectively neutralize negative external impacts, allowing your cartridge to track the record groove with absolute precision and significantly lowering the noise floor.

Advanced Three-Layer Sandwich Construction

The TAB 1600 is expertly crafted using a highly efficient three-layer sandwich construction. The foundation is a sturdy MDF base plate, which is meticulously combined with a damping fabric layer and a thick core of specialized acoustic foam. This unique combination absorbs and dissipates both micro-vibrations from your room and the operational resonance of the turntable itself, resulting in a calmer, tighter, and more focused soundstage.

Universal Turntable Compatibility

While designed specifically to perfectly match the footprint and aesthetics of Thorens turntables, the TAB 1600 is a universal upgrade. Its generous dimensions make it an ideal acoustic enhancement for high-end turntables from any manufacturer.
