The Trampolin is a baseboard upgrade for the LP12, designed to further improve acoustic and mechanical isolation of the turntable from its surrounding when used on standard furniture or wall shelves.

It consists of an aluminium plate which replaces the existing baseboard. Four adjustable vibration absorbing feet provide isolation from floor borne low frequency vibrations. A removable plate allows access to the tonearm pillar.

The Trampolin is a new baseboard for the LP12, designed to further improve acoustic and mechanical isolation of the turntable from its surrounding when used on standard furniture or wall shelves. It incorporates a silicone membrane suspension, as used in the Axis and Basik turntables.

When the LP12 is used in rooms with solid concrete floors or on heavy furniture, sound quality can be improved by fitting the Trampolin. This provides greatly improved isolation from floor-borne vibration (20dB at 100Hz), and its adjustable feet accommodate items of furniture which make the turntable difficult to level accurately. However, where suspended wooden floors are concerned (which may upset Trampolin suspension), for best results from this upgrade we recommend that the turntable is mounted on a wall bracket.

The Trampolin suspension upgrade is a dealer fitted option as it is important that a correct assessment of the turntable positioning is made.

If furniture or room decoration does not allow use of the Trampolin, the acoustic feedback isolation gained by replacing the standard fibreboard base of the LP12 with a new rigid type is still very well worthwhile. This rigid base is made from the same material as the Trampolin, but has no additional suspension, and uses standard LP12 hard feet.

New LP12 turntables are already fitted with this new baseboard as standard (1991). For existing LP12 owners the sound quality improvement in either of the above cases is worthwhile. With the introduction of the Isobarik Crossover update which extends the bass performance of our active systems the Trampolin will become a must for all customers.
