Reference Foundations have been an important standard in loudspeaker supports since their initial introduction in 1989. They have been photographed, featured, and recommended by countless manufacturers, magazines, and audiophiles.

The pillar and top plate design of Reference Foundations is identical to Steel Foundations. As with the previous generation, the key differentiation is the unique triangular FOUNTAINHEAD base plates. FOUNTAINHEAD is a unique material that looks and feels like stone or marble. The substance has excellant acoustic properties and is being utilized in some of the most esteemed and expensive audio products in the world. Reference Foundations are truly as aesthetically pleasing as they are acoustically pure.

Steel Foundations ®

Steel Foundations are a harmonious blend of the qualities that make a loudspeaker support truly great. MDF (Medium Density Fibercore) base plates, fillable steel pillars, adjustable floor spikes, adjustable speaker studs, and damped top plates all combine to ensure that Steel Foundations are among the quietest loudspeaker supports available. High rigidity is achieved throught the use of two wide diameter round steel pillars that utilize heavy gauge welded inserts. Precision allen head machine bolts allow extreme torque capability to provide maximum structural integrity.

Performance is of course not the only design criteria. Loudspeaker supports of this caliber must look as good as they sound. Steel Foundations offer aesthetics and performance that rivals the most expensive European loudspeaker supports at an affordable price.

Constructed of 3/4" composite, Basic Foundations are strong and quiet. Models are available in 8", 16", 24", and 30" heights to accommodate speakers of all sizes.

FOUNDATIONS ® FURNITURE

The list of consumer electronics manufacturers and journals that use or recommend Sanus Systems furniture is truly impressive. Why Sanus? Because Sanus furniture makes high performance audio video equipment look and sound its best.
 
Audio-video components have become larger and more sophisticated. Today's systems often have seven or more channels of amplification and include outboard D/A converters, surround sound processors, subwoofer crossovers, and laser disc players. These complicated components are susceptible to heat and resonance problems. Resonance in particular can have significant deleterious effects on transports, tube equipment, and the sensitive integrated circuits of surround processors, CD players, and D/A converters.
 
Component Foundations' unique construction features heavy steel frame work, adjustable steel floor spikes, and isolation studs to minimize resonance transmission and allow for height adjustments on all levels. Component Foundations have the largest and quietest shelves in their class. Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) construction minimizes the adverse effects of resounance.
 
Glass Furniture adds a contemporary style that accentuates your audio and video components. The shelves are 1/4" tempered glass with polished edges. The stanchions are 1 1/4" steel tubing that can be filled with sand or shot. Together they create a stunning and superior piece of furniture.
 
Euro Foundations are a stylish alternative to the utilitarian look of the traditional steel audio rack. Shelves and rack heights allow tailoring to your current system. The open architecture design provides superior acoustic isolation and keeps your system running cool. Columnar sandwich construction provides superior rigidity and damping.
 
Euro Audio Furniture and Euro AudioVideo Furniture offer an ideal combination of style, performance, utility, and expandability.
 
Television Turntables allow optimum television viewing from any angle. All models utilize a nylon/steel bearing assembly and are constructed of MDF. Black lacquer finish. Accommodates virtually any size television or monitor.

Component Foundations have the largest and quietest shelves in their class. Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) construction minimizes the adverse effects of resounance.

Component Foundations are constructed of heavy steel frame work that may be filled with steel shot or sand. Horizontal cross members ensure ultimate rigidity. adjustable steel floor spikes minimize resonance transmission and provide a solid interface with the floor. The frames are finished with a catalyzed baked black polane that is both durable and beautiful. Each shelf sits on steel isolation studs and middle shelves have a range of height adjustments. Most steel racks isolate only the top shelf and don't allow height adjustment.

Eliminating the utilitarian look associated with high performance steel furniture, all CF models are modular and use trim kits that are available in a variety of finishes.Towers may be bridged together with either one or two Video Bridges to create a high performance wall unit. Video Bridges will accommodate up to a 35" monitor or two components side by side. A Video Leg allows Video Bridges to be used with a single tower. Component Foundations can grow with your needs, and change finishes and architecture to match the aesthetics of your living environment.

Component Foundations have the largest and quietest shelves in their class. Better loudspeaker cabinets are spiked and constructed of MDF (Medium Density Fibercore) because of its immunity to resonance problems; Sanus uses this same method to minimize the adverse effects of resonance. Large 20" wide by 18" deep MDF shelves, finished with a rich hand sanded black lacquer, are aesthetically and sonically superior to competing designs. They will accommodate even the largest rack mount amplifiers, laser disc players, CD changers, and surround sound receivers.
