Atacama Atabites SMD-Z 7HD Inert Filler (7kg bucket)

Atacama Atabites SMD-Z 7HD

In order to get the best possible sound from your speaker stands, it is recommended that the main vertical columns are partially filled with a high density inert filler .

By using Atabites you will reduce ringing and give a sonically dead platform from which to position bookshelf style speakers.

Featuring new zinc coated steel micro-discs, the Atabite SMD-Z 7HD inert filler has a uniformed range of particulate sizes giving consistent sonic performance. The Zinc coating adds mass, protects the filler from both oxidisation and degradation while enhancing the visual aesthetics.

PLEASE NOTE- Atabites are supplied by weight, not volume. (7 KG tubs). Some settling of contents may occur in transit.

As a guide, each 1.8L tub contains approximately 1,6L of Atabites. As a comparison, 1.6L of typical dry *beach sand would weigh less than 2.5KG.

Maximum approximate weight of Atabites that can be used for each pair of Atacama speaker stands:-

NeXXus 600 Esssnetial =16.8kg

Nexus 5, Moseco 5, =6.8KG,

Nexus 6, Moseco 6, Duo 6, =8.4KG

Nexus 7, Moseco 7, Duo 7, =9.84KG

Nexus10, Moseco 10, =14.14KG

Moseco CC series, as above with corresponding leg height.

SLX200=10.64KG

Audition/ SLX300=16.36KG

Audition/ SLX400=22.10KG

Audition/ SLX500=27.84KG

Audition/ SLX600=36.6KG

Audition/ SLX700=39.34KG

SLX1000=56.56KG (SL series, as SLX)

HMS1.1 & Moseco XL 500mm=30.8KG

HMS1.1 & Moseco XL 600mm=44.53KG

HMS1.1 700mm=44.53KG 

HMS2.1 & HMS2X-600=85KG

Apollo Cyclone 5= 6.8KG

Apollo Cyclone 6= 8.4KG

Apollo Cyclone 7= 9.84KG

Sonic results will depend on speaker stand positioning, type of speaker, room size, type of electronics and cabling, listening position and personal taste. However, as a general rule filling the stands approximately half to two thirds full generally gives the best results.

NOT suitable for Aurora 6 Speaker stands.

Filler can be used with non-Atacama/Apollo speaker stands but check suitability first with the stand manufacturer.
