SteinMusic Super Naturals Signature Matrix Footers
Priced per set of 3.
The Super Natural Matrix footers are SteinMusic's most sophisticated component footer design. Two of the three are African Zebrawood with the smaller section facing downward. The third is Olivewood with the smaller section pointing upward. The orientation is intentional and matters.
The Technology
Ceramic rods provide fast energy transfer — ceramic's high rigidity and speed of sound transmission dissipate mechanical energy quickly rather than storing and re-releasing it. The felt pads are normally damping materials, but in the Super Natural Matrix they are impregnated with SteinMusic's proprietary treatment — which Holger Stein describes simply as quantum physics, a phrase he uses consistently across his product line to refer to a genuine design methodology rather than marketing language. The treated felt pads become something different from conventional damping material.
The combination of fast ceramic transfer and treated felt damping creates a footer that manages both resonance transmission and absorption rather than choosing between them.
Our Experience
We've used SteinMusic footers under sources and amplifiers. The effect is consistent with what Stein claims: improved low-level detail, more stable imaging, and a sense of reduced mechanical noise in the presentation. The Super Natural Matrix is the most refined implementation we've heard in the line.
Press Recognition
SteinMusic products have been reviewed by The Absolute Sound and Positive Feedback. The Super Natural footer line has been covered in those publications with consistent reports of meaningful improvement in component performance across system types.
