HEMISPHERICAL HEAVYHATS

Brass weights on top of gear add 50% to the good effect of Heavyfeet. we strongly recommend them to anyone using footers, particularly ours.

HeavyHat brass weights are available in ¾ and 1½ pound versions; they use the same selected-by-ear alloy as our footers. Where you place them and how many you use makes a big difference; overdamping with too much weight sounds bad. That’s why we recommend starting with a three-weight set, two small and one large.

Micropoint HeavyHats are our very best sounding brass weight, based on Mapleshade's three-point principle for most distortion-free vibration transfer. Newly upgraded to our much more resonance-free Micropoint design—thus yielding beautiful gains in bass clarity, harmonic richness, and dynamic nuance. Two weights on each speaker is a must-hear upgrade!

As with the other Triplepoints, the tiny brass points on the bottom of the Micropoint HeavyHats may leave minor scratches on the top of equipment. The Hemispherical HeavyHats prevent this, with a small sacrifice in performance.
