On the floor below the Vibratron and (in larger rooms) the Gravitron sit one or two Bass Stations, slightly larger iron bowls that have their own spiked wooden stands that include a special “dispersion baffle.” Two other bowls called Magnetrons magnetically affix to wooden perches placed on the side walls at first reflection points.īesides looking good enough to be on display at a Museum of Modern Art, Synergistic Research’s website claims that the ACOUSTIC ART system (heretofore referred to as “ART”) can “tune music with a system of resonators working together in harmony at key acoustic pressure points.” The magnets in the system purportedly “contour activation and decay properties of the Vibratron and Magnetron Satellite resonators.” The Vibratron is claimed to radiate “in a 360 degree pattern over a scientifically-arrived-at frequency range.” The Base Station’s dispersion baffle – a plain wooden shield that arises between it and the rest of the room – “precisely” controls how the Bass Station affects a room’s low frequency acoustics. The Gravitron and its perch are designed to affix to the rear wall, close to the ceiling, directly opposite the Vibratron. Then there’s the Gravitron, a blue and purple tinted forged metal bowl that balances atop a little wooden perch. Complete with a set of little removable silver and gold magnets that form a spire at its apex, the Vibratron is designed to sit atop a special wooden perch that hangs from the front wall midway between and above your speakers.
Specially tuned and treated carbon steel bowls that, carefully placed in the listening room on proprietary platforms, tune music reproduction, tighten bass, adjust tonal balance, and focus sound.Ĭomplete System (Vibratron, Bass Station, Gravitron, and two Magnetrons): $3130Įntry Level System (Gravitron + Bass Station): $1045Īt the center of the Synergistic Research ACOUSTIC ART Real-Time Analogue Room Treatment – now there’s a mouthful – perches the Vibratron, a fantastically shaped blue orb that looks like a cross between the planet Saturn and a gyroscope. But when you add in the fantastic appearance of the resonating bowls, and the claims that they can tune your listening room and ameliorate most commonly encountered speaker-room interactions, it’s hard not to think that someone is either toying with you or daring you to entertain a new paradigm of acoustic science. Vibratron, Gravitron, Magnetron, and Bass Station: the sci-fi names alone are enough to raise eyebrows.
