Tranquility Carbon Conditions the Signal from Within
Tranquility Base Carbon started with a chassis machined from a solid billet of aircraft aluminum, delivering a 50% slimmer and 80% more rigid chassis than previous efforts. Synergistic then experimented with new laminates and selected carbon fiber due to its superior response to both mechanical and airborne vibrations. Then they applied their most advanced EM Cell technology directly transferred from their efforts building reference power conditioners. Finally, they implemented internal UEF Technology from the state-of-the-art SRX cable loom. The net result is a thinner and more rigid Tranquility Base with a lower noise floor from which springs improved dynamics and soundstaging combined with smoother, more extended high frequencies.
Tranquility Base History
Shortly after launching the first PowerCell line conditioner, SR's lead designer began work on a new application for his then new patent-pending EM Cell technology. This was early 2010, and Ted had the idea for an Electromagnetic Cell Field-Effect Conditioner capable of conditioning the signal inside a component. First, they developed several flat EM Cells for placement below components running tests on multiple variants until they had perfected an EM Cell capable of improving any component. Then they experimented with different laminates engineered to cancel mechanical vibrations selecting the option that created the best sound quality. The first Tranquility Base was launched at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in late 2012. Three years later, the Tranquility Base lineup was refreshed in 2015 with the addition of UEF Technology. SR has been building Tranquility Bases continuously since 2012 with only minor running improvements along the way, but with no major overhaul or change to the fundamental design... until the Carbon.

SR Ground Block. This goes to 11
Elevate your Tranquility Base Carbon’s performance along with your entire system when you star-ground it all to an Active Ground Block SE or Galileo SX Ground Block. You can even ground the shields of Synergistic Research Atmosphere SX, Galileo SX, and SRX cable looms. The more you ground, the more you lower your system’s noise floor. So you hear a larger and more layered sound field with powerful dynamics and detail, all with increased musicality over a standard ground, thanks to our Active Grond Filters’ elimination of noise and distortion from your audio system.
Tranquility UEF LPS for Perfect Power
With a Tranquility UEF Power Supply driving your Tranquility Base Carbon and Tranquility PODS, your soundstage increases in size and scale. Low frequencies are likewise improved with greater impact and control, while resolution is enhanced thanks to a lowering of your system’s noise floor. The net effect is a system-wide upgrade where your SR components get a boost in dynamic range and refinement for a not-so-subtle improvement to your system’s overall performance. Available with a no-risk in-home audition.
