This product is unlike other decoupling devices, because it is not in fact a decoupling device, but rather a resonator. Cold Ray consists of three separate parts: a steel base cone, a bearing ball (which comes in either steel or ceramic), and a steel cover bell. The steel cover bell together with the bearing ball, serve as the resonators, greatly limiting the amount of resonance that can pass through Cold Ray.
One of the most important elements of the Cold Ray design is mechanical stability. Decoupling devices prove to be rather unstable as their weight exposure increases. Cold Ray works in a different way, becoming increasing more stable when bearing a greater weight load. Vertical stability plays an essential role in the performance of this product.
Cold Ray is designed to work well with either steel or a ceramic bearing ball. Ceramics is a material well known to prevent resonance significantly better than other materials. It is however more expensive, which is why an excellent steel alternative is presented.
