Synergistic Research MiG SX Footers
Synergistic Research MiG SX footers are an evolution of their original MiG footers developed in 2008. Synergistic Research started with a new specially tuned MiG resonator forged from high carbon steel and add a precision-machined Aircraft Aluminum and Carbon Fibre three-piece chassis engineered to distribute vibration through a special tuning disc and a UEF tuning element into Carbon Tungsten ball bearings. For a bespoke match to your system, MiG SX has two placement options that re-tunes your component’s resonance; choose between Ambient and PinPoint configurations and pick the option that best suits your system on a component by component basis.
Synergistic Research developed a three-piece CNC machined Aircraft Aluminum and Carbon Fiber chassis for the transfer of mechanical vibration between the MiG and a special tuning disc, a UEF tuning element, and Carbon Tungsten bearings. These last three components were intentionally included so they could experiment with different materials until arriving at the correct balance of elements that would yield the best sound possible. For example, SR experimented with precision bearings made from stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and carbon tungsten.
To evaluate these different material options, with different internal elements and compared them in double-blind listening tests in their reference system until they arrived at Carbon Tungsten ball bearings, which sounded best. Likewise, the tuning ring and UEF elements were altered between different materials and formulations until they arrived at just the right combination.
