OYAIDE INS-US & INS-SP Spike & Spike Holder Set Insulators
*This product is a set of 1 INS-US (4 pieces) and 1 INS-SP (4 pieces). Please purchase 2 sets if you are using it for a pair of stereo speakers.

A set of Oyaide Electric insulators, "INS-US spike" and "INS-SP spike holder".

[Combining INS-SP and INS-US to achieve the best match point contact]
"INS-US" and "INS-SP" are designed with a common design concept and size to achieve maximum effect when used as a pair.
Using them as a pair provides ideal point contact insulation.

[Small, high-rigidity stainless steel spike & spike holder]
The advantage of installing audio equipment with spikes is that the transmission of vibrations can be efficiently suppressed at the point contact area between the equipment and the floor, improving sound response, S/N feeling, and resolution.
[INS-US]
INS-US is made of high-rigidity stainless steel and is NC cut with high precision. It has high dimensional accuracy and high strength that can withstand a single point load. The ultimate small spike that is unmatched by any other.

[INS-SP]
When using spikes, spike holders are usually used to prevent damage to the floor surface, but the physical properties of the spike holder are also known to have a significant effect on sound quality.

In addition, spike holders must meet two essential requirements. They must be made of a highly rigid material that has high dimensional accuracy and can withstand a single point load.

If the dimensional accuracy of the spike holder is low, a gap will form between the spike and the device, causing it to wobble and preventing the point contact from functioning perfectly.

Even with a spike holder with low rigidity, the point contact will be gouged out by the load, causing the device to wobble. Not only wood/resin materials, but also copper alloys and aluminum are surprisingly weak against a single point load, and with sharp spikes, the point contact will be gouged out, causing the point contact to be incomplete, which will have a negative effect on sound quality. In addition, wood and stone materials are prone to chipping and cracking, making them less reliable as spike supports.

Oyaide Electric has the know-how to select the best material for the desired item and process it using the optimal method.
In order to establish a material and processing method that combines the sound quality, dimensional accuracy, and rigidity required for a spike support, various materials were examined and tested, and the "INS-SP" was created.

■ High-rigidity material SUS303 stainless steel material is precisely cut by computer control
The SUS303 used in the "INS-US" shows superior characteristics compared to other metals, and has a particularly high hardness, making it the ideal high-rigidity material for spikes that require high strength to withstand a single point load.
High-precision cutting of stainless steel by computer control provides the high dimensional accuracy required for spikes.
In addition, by applying a small R processing (R0.5) to the spike tip, crushing of the spike tip is eliminated.
This allows for perfect point contact with the spike support without rattling or deformation.

The SUS303 used in the "INS-SP" has superior properties compared to other metals, making it the ideal high-rigidity material for spike holders.

The "INS-SP" has the high dimensional accuracy and high rigidity required for spike holders, thanks to computer-controlled high-precision cutting of stainless steel. This allows for perfect point contact with the spikes without any rattling or deformation.

■Semi-glossy finish that is resistant to corrosion such as rust

The SUS303 stainless steel used in the "INS-US" forms a strong passive film (a film made of Cr and O) on the surface, making it resistant to corrosion such as rust and maintaining its beauty for a long time.

The surface has a chic semi-gloss barrel polishing finish. It blends in seamlessly with your system.

The SUS303 stainless steel used in the "INS-SP" forms a strong passive film (a film made of Cr and O) on the surface, making it resistant to corrosion such as rust and maintaining its beauty for a long time. In addition, SUS303 stainless steel is non-magnetic and does not have any adverse effects on your equipment due to magnetism. The surface of the "INS-SP" has a semi-glossy hairline finish. It blends seamlessly into your system while still creating a chic, luxurious look.

■Ensures the depth of the recess to allow the spikes to fit in properly
The "INS-SP" has a recess depth of 2 mm and a diameter of 8.8 mm to ensure sufficient strength, fit, and visibility. This makes it easy to see the recess when installing and to fit the spikes. In addition, even if the device is subjected to a lateral impact, the spikes will not come out of the recess, providing a stable fit. Furthermore, the angle of the recess is 130 degrees, so it can be used with a wide range of spikes, including spikes with acute angles of less than 90 degrees, as well as spikes with obtuse angles of up to about 120 degrees.
