Condition signal from within

Introducing Tranquility Base Carbon, the first all-new Tranquility Base in over a decade. It all starts with a new chassis machined from a solid billet of aircraft aluminum for a 50% slimmer and 80% more rigid chassis. Then, experiments were carried out with new laminates and arrived at carbon fiber for its superior response to mechanical and airborne vibrations. After that, the most advanced EM Cell technology was applied, directly transferred from the Galileo SX PowerCell. Finally, its internal UEF Technology was transferred from the new state-of-the-art SRX cable loom. The net result is a thinner and more rigid Tranquility Base with a lower noise floor from which springs improved dynamics and soundstaging combined with smoother, more extended high frequencies.

Condition at the source
Tranquility Base history. Shortly after launching the first PowerCell line conditioner, SR’s lead designer began work on a new application for his then new patent-pending EM Cell technology. It was early 2010, and Ted had the idea for an Electromagnetic Cell Field-Effect Conditioner capable of conditioning signal inside a component. First,  several flat EM Cells were developed for placement below components running tests on multiple variants until the EM Cell was perfected, capable of improving any component. After that, experiments with different laminates were done, engineered to cancel mechanical vibrations selecting the option that created the best sound quality. The first Tranquility Base was launched at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in late 2012. Three years later, the Tranquility Base lineup was refreshed in 2015 with the addition of UEF Technology. Tranquility Bases were built continuously since 2012 with only minor running improvements along the way, but with no major overhaul or change to the fundamental design for the past decade, until now.

With the optional Tranquility UEF Power Supply driving your Tranquility Base Carbon and Tranquility PODS, your soundstage increases in size and scale. Low frequencies are likewise improved with greater impact and control, while resolution is enhanced thanks to a lowering of your system’s noise floor. The net effect is a system-wide upgrade where your SR components get a boost in dynamic range and refinement for a not-so-subtle improvement to your system’s overall performance. Available with a no-risk in-home audition.
