Stacore Basic User manual

STACORE BASIC/BASIC+
USER MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing a STACORE anti-vibration platform! Before
setting up the platform please read carefully the instructions below. In case
of any additional questions or problems please contact us at [email protected]
WARNING!
The platform is very heavy at 62kg (137 l s.). It should e manipulated
y two strong adult persons.
The air pressure in any of the sections should not e higher than 5 ar
max (72 psi). The maximum load capa ility is 65kg (145 l s.) for BASIC
and 160kg (353 l s) for BASIC+.
The maximum platform elevation should not exceed 10mm (0,4”) under
any conditions.
Do not lift or move the platform when pressurized. Do not pressurize it
in the upside down position. This can damage the air springs.
The slate surfaces, especially the logo, are sensitive to scratches,
fingerprints, and stains. Please use the attached gloves to manipulate the
platform and keep it away from any sharp o jects and liquids to secure a
super look for a long time.

I. Setting up the platform
1. Wearing the attached gloves carefully unpack the platform.
2. Place the platform on a solid foundation. The weight of the platform
alone is 62kg (137 lbs.). The foundation must be able to reliably carry
that weight plus the weight of the equipment to be placed on the
platform. It is perfectly fine to use the platform directly on the floor
irrespectively of its type (suspended concrete etc.)
3. Place your equipment on the platform. The ideal position is when the
equipment's Center of Gravity is right above the platform's center but
this is not critical.
4. Unscrew the protective cap on the vent and connect a pump. Any pump
with the car tire connection and capable of 5 bar pressure can be used.
Put all the switches up. This is the “OPEN” position.
5. Pump until all four corners of the the platform rise to the same height
between 3mm and 10mm (0.1”-0.4”) above the foundation. DO NOT
EXCEED THE 5 ar (72psi) MAX PRESSURE NOR THE 10mm

(0.4”) MAX ELEVATION! If you cannot lift the platform without
exceeding the 5 bar max pressure your equipment is way above the
max allowable load.
BASIC PLATFORM: The section on the left side of the platform
(looking from the switches' side) controlled by the leftmost switch will
need to be pumped to a higher pressure than the other two sections. For
that switch the other two sections off after they have reached the desired
elevation (put the central and the rightmost switches down) and
continue pumping until the left side of the platform reaches the same
elevation as the right one. The manometer will read a higher pressure
which is normal. The important is an approximate level of the platform
(uniform elevation at all 4 corners).
NOTE: The optimal platform elevation for a vast majority of the
equipment is 3-5mm. This represents the best trade-off between the
soni performan e and the need for frequent pressure orre tions.
6. Put all the switches down. This is the “CLOSED” position. Disconnect
the pump.
7. If you want to check the pressure in any of the sections open the

corresponding switch (put it up) and the manometer will show the
pressure. Close the switch (put it down) immediately after the reading
to avoid unnecessary air leaks.
NOTE: With time, the manometer reading will gradually drop to zero
with all the swit hes losed (down). This is normal and does not affe t
the performan e of the platform.
II. Leveling the platform
Some audio equipment will require leveling like turntables of CD players.
STACORE platforms allow for an easy and reliable leveling using the air
pressure in individually controlled support points:
1. Choose the surface you want to level. For example a turntable platter.
2. Place the level on the chosen surface. The level is achieved by opening
(putting up) one switch at a time and releasing slowly the air using the
Release Button (next to the vent).

Swit hes assignment: Ea h platform has 3 virtual support points. Ea h
swit h ontrols ea h point. Looking from the ontrol panel, the leftmost
swit h ( lose to the vent) ontrols the enter point on the left side of the
platform. The middle swit h ontrols the far right orner and the swit h
lose to the manometer - the loser right orner of the platform.
3. If any of the platform corners lowers below some 3mm (0.1”)
reconnect the pump and rise the whole platform somewhat higher than
it was before. Do not exceed the 10mm (0.4”) max! Repeat step 2.
4. If you did not use the bubble (round) level put the level in the
perpendicular direction. Repeat step 2.
5. Close all the switches (put them down) immediately after finishing.
III. Maintenance
There is no special maintenance needed apart from an occasional (about once
in 1.5-2 month) air pressure correction to compensate for the inevitable micro
leakages. If any of the platform corners lowers below about 3 mm (0.1”) :

1. Connect the pump
2. Opening and closing one-by-one the switches pump each time a bit of
air.
3. If necessary check the level and re-level.
4. Close all the switches (put them down) immediately after pumping and
disconnect the pump.

WARRANTY: We offer 1 year warranty for parts, la or, and
functionality. The slate surfaces are not covered y this warranty.
STACORE Team wishes you happy listening and many
exciting musical moments with our platforms!
