The pNEUPOD is a pneumatic isolation device developed by pNEUANCE Audio. This product uses air compression as its major isolation method. The rubber diaphragm is a clever way of containing the air and allowing it to isolate in all planes.

The pNEUPOD device decouples (or isolates) the attached audio component from the platform on which it is sitting. Most platforms are shelves on an equipment rack that are sitting on a suspended floor. The acoustic energy from the audio system is usually transmitted to the floor and back up through the equipment rack and shelves. The end result is major vibrations making their way to the component, distorting sound quality. Using a pNEUPOD device can properly isolate these vibrations from entering the component, creating an improvement in sound quality that is quite noticeable.
The pNEUPOD is extremely effective isolating the component from its platform. The adjustable air pressure allows components of varying weights to be used without compromise. Uneven weight distribution is easily accommodated by varying the air pressure in the individual feet. Every aspect of its design was optimized for performance. The degrees of sonic improvements when isolating a preamp, power amp, DAC, disc player or audio server are quite profound. Turntables and vacuum tube electronics prove to be a must for the pNEUPOD.
The original design dates back to 1983. The newly formed pNEUANCE Audio company has taken this concept and refined it with modern proprietary materials and intelligent engineering. The end result is a product that is ideal to improve the performance of any audio system.
