HRS DAMPING PLATE DPX
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Harmonic Resolution Systems (HRS) Damping Plate DPX. When used properly, it will
give you many years of superior musical or video signal reproduction. The HRS Damping Plates significantly reduce
the negative impact of air and structure borne vibration on your audio or video component performance. The HRS
Damping Plates are a perfect match for the HRS Isolation Base. While the damping plates work to significantly reduce
air-borne vibration, the isolation base significantly reduces the harmful effects of structure-borne vibration.
Safety Instructions IMPORTANT!
Do not place any tall objects on the damping plate. A tall object is any object that has a height greater than its own
width or length. The object may become unstable and tip over.
Do not place the damping plate over ventilation holes of any electronic component. The ventilation holes will be
blocked and the internal operating temperature of the component will be increased.
Setup Instructions
The HRS Damping Plates should be placed directly on top of an electronic component chassis or speaker cabinet with
the soft side of the damping plate in contact with the component surface. The greater the surface area covered by the
damping plates the greater the improvement in audio/video performance.
Note that porous dark paints can attract and retain moisture from the HRS Damping Plate rubber, and that this can
cause slight discoloration over time. If minor cosmetic changes in surface finish are a concern, HRS does not
recommend using the Damping Plates on those surfaces. Please refer to “Care and Maintenance” below for more
information.

Care and Maintenance
The HRS Damping Plates are a very low maintenance item that will provide many years of trouble free performance by
applying these basic care instructions.
Clean the Damping Plates using a lint-free soft (non-abrasive) cloth. Use a damp cloth with water or mild soap if
required. Do not spray with or immerse in water.
Porous, flat (no sheen), dark, paint colors tend to attract and retain moisture from rubber contact surfaces after
prolonged exposure. This causes slight discoloration. This can usually be reduced or removed by gently wiping the
surface with a soft black cloth damp with Pledge Multi-Surface cleaner (836661). Allow the cleaner to dry completely
between wipes. HRS recommends testing this process on a small area of the chassis first to confirm that it will not leave
a residue or damage the paint.

Warnings!
Do not place objects with sharp or pointed feet directly on the damping plates as they may cause nicks, scratches or
gouges in the surface.
Do not use an abrasive cleaner or abrasive sponge to clean the damping plates, as they may scratch the metallic
surface.
Do not wash with any solvent based cleaning solutions.
Prolonged contact with the rubber pads of the damping plates can cause slight discoloration on black painted surfaces.
