The Soulines Elgar DCX uses a highly rigid main plinth constructed of two massive blocks machined from solid aluminium, bolted together and damped accordingly, and a 50/10mm
diameter aluminium pipe, forming together a T-shaped structure. Employing this kind of design provides a perfect balance for the plinth itself, by reducing the Moment of inertia in all three planes (along all three axes) to the Center of mass, and thus, gaining uniform vibration damping.
Soulines Elgar DCX Information:
Named after English composer Edward Elgar, who was the first composer of classical music to take the gramophone seriously, as well as the composer of Soulines favourite cello concerto – the Cello Concerto in E minor.
Inverted main bearing (identical to one employed in Soulines flagship model, Kubrick DCX) is mounted directly onto the aluminium sub-plinth which is in turn 3-point coupled to the main plinth (by means of rubber-cork washers of different diameter) to maximize performance and minimize acoustic breakthrough.
