Fluance IB40 Isolation Base Natural Walnut

The Fluance IB40 is a 10.5 lbs dense MDF platform designed to isolate turntables and other audio components from external vibrations. Its high mass wood plinth provides superior damping to improve frequency response and detail retrieval during playback. The natural walnut finish suits home audio systems where acoustic fidelity is the priority.

Check Your Setup Before Ordering

Verify that your turntable or component fits within the platform dimensions of 17.13 x 14.96 inches and that the 2.44 inch height works with your rack or shelf clearance. The unit weighs 10.49 lbs so ensure your furniture can support the combined load. Built-in height adjustable feet and a bubble level allow precise levelling on uneven surfaces.

Upgrade From Basic Placement

This base replaces placing a turntable directly on a shelf, desk or lightweight stand where footfall, speaker output or motor vibration can blur low frequencies and imaging. The jump is worth it when you hear rumble or lack of detail on quiet passages and want a stable, level platform that lets the stylus track the groove accurately. It also benefits CD players, amplifiers and speakers needing vibration control.

Questions about this item

Does the IB40 come with a turntable or cartridge, or must they be purchased separately?

The IB40 is an isolation base only; no turntable, tonearm or cartridge is included, so you must provide those components yourself.

Which finish should I choose for the IB40?

The IB40 is offered in Natural Walnut only, so there is no alternative finish to select.

How much does the 10.5 lb MDF plinth reduce vibration in a real system?

The 10.5 lb dense MDF plinth adds mass that suppresses external vibrations, letting the stylus track low frequencies more accurately and improving imaging.
