Synergistic Research HFT (High Frequency Transducer)

Synergistic Research HFT (High Frequency Transducer)

Nearly invisible acoustic treatment.

About the size of a shirt button, yet powerful enough to transform your listening room's acoustics, HFT's may be the single most important accessory you can choose where overall sound quality is concerned. HFTs oscillate at high frequencies in response to acoustic pressure in your listening room to compensate for acoustic distortion and correct for phase anomalies by re-cuing your rooms acoustic response to sound pressure. You will hear an increase in sound stage depth and width, an improvement in clarity and frequency extension, even bass energy can be tamed when HFT's are correctly placed in your room. All this is possible when you follow our easy placement guidelines. HFT's will transform the way your system and room sounds for the better.

HFT - The Starting Point

Starting with the first pack of HFT`s and follow the clear instructions (included in pack) simply place in areas shown and the difference are clear to hear. Then start adding a second pack of 5 as indicated in instructions (save money when you purchase a pack of 10 instead of 5) to further improve the sound of your system.

The standard HFT's will make up the bulk of your HFT acoustic treatment. Most rooms are recommend to start with 15-20 standard HFT's. Your speakers and room will disappear as your soundstage expands into a realistic and holographic representation of the musical event with improved frequency response from top to bottom.

Each stage is clearly laid out in the user manuals for each version of the HFT`s (available to download in download section of this product page). When followed as described the difference in performance is clear and easy to hear each part of the music without sounding forced.

As all the models of the HFT's cover different frequencies you can add further types (HFT 2.0, HFT-X, HFT Wide Angle) to carry improvements further again. Think of it as Synergistic Research's acoustic 'Pick & Mix'!

Everything resonates!

The sound of your listening room is made up of hundreds if not thousands of resonators – all reacting to the energy your system creates. Each piece of furniture, your walls, your ceiling, equipment racks, glass windows, light fixtures, ornaments and even your speaker cabinets and the enclosures of your components all resonate out of tune with the music. Think of it this way: your room and its furniture are like one big instrument with 500 strings. Every time your speakers create a note these strings are being excited – and that’s the problem, not one of those 500 strings are in tune. The fact is, they are all resonating out of tune – distorting your music. The resonance of your listening room is literally pushing back on your soundstage, compressing the air and decay of notes and distorting fundamental harmonics in your favorite music. This is why most systems have soundstages that primarily exist in and around the speakers. This is also why many systems are set up like a gigantic pair of headphones with extreme speaker toe-in creating one narrow sweet spot that prevents you from sharing the joy of music with others.

What`s The Answer?

Synergistic Researches HFTs are tiny high-frequency transducers that clean up high-frequency harmonics in your listening room. You see, harmonics are interconnected, so when you affect harmonics -even those beyond the limits of human hearing – you also affect lower frequency harmonics you can hear. HFTs literally cancel harmonic noise on any surface they are placed. Simply follow Synergistic Researches easy placement guidelines, 5 HFTs at a time, to systematically overcome your room’s tendency to fight with the music your system is trying to recreate. HFTs replace random out-of-tune resonance with a sympathetic resonance that complements the music. Just 5 HFTs can affect a meaningful improvement to the average listening room, while additional HFT 5 and 10-packs improve your listening enjoyment further still until you ultimately bring your entire listening room in sync with the music.
