Price is for a pack of 6 which covers a pair of monitors.

China Cones improves the accuracy of audio systems by reducing resonance. Electronic and mechanical resonance causes subtle phasing errors which reduce fidelity. The high density ceramic material used in China Cones does not resonate within human hearing range and so vibrational energy is brought under control without audible colouration. The special cone shape is designed to restore and maintain the integrity of audio signals.

"The Cones should be supplied by SSL or every time you purchase a set of nearfields!!! The clarity and space is superb as well as a tightening of the stereo image in a good room."
Robert Taylor (Manager, Bunk, Junk, & Genius)
 
"I didn't want to believe that such a simple idea could work. Unfortunately, it does."
Steve Levine (Producer)
 
"The power supply of my Trident 65 console is standing on China Cones - now there's an extra octave at the bottom end. Even a deaf donkey could hear the difference!"
Andy Jackson (Engineer, Pink Floyd)
 
"The Genelec's low end is much more defined and the stereo image is a lot better."
Peter Lewis (Engineer, Townhouse)
 
"Bugger me, they work!"
Murray Harris (Mastering Engineer, Chop 'Em Out)
 
"China Cones de-coupled the nearfield monitors from the SSL meter bridge. Fantastique!"
Eric Levi (Artist, Producer)

"They really work."
Dave Ruffell (Heatherdale Audio)
 

China Cones Review

Rating: 10/10

I've had the same set of HR824's for about 6 years and used them in a number of different locations, from good to bad. They may not be the best monitors in the world, but they're mine and they work for me. I've just moved into a new studio space with some acoustic issues and I purchased the China Cones as part of the acoustic overhaul I'm doing. I have to say that my jaw is still on the floor. The 824s are on sand-filled stands, and after putting on the China Cones the low end has a clarity I've honestly never heard. I'm going through my reference tracks as I type this and I'm amazed as I listen to each one. The tightness of the low end is the most noticable difference in my setup but I'm also hearing a slightly more defined stereo image. I was apprehensive about paying £125 for 6 tiny pieces of ceramic but believe me it is well worth the price. I'm not usually one to write overly glowing reviews but this time I just had to. I don't know if I should be happy or upset that I have to learn my monitors all over again now.
