Les Davis Vibrare Fermata Power Board Filter Review
Introducing the Vibrare Fermata Power Board Filter

Welcome to our Les Davis Vibrare Fermata - Power Board Filter Review, where we delve into how this innovative accessory transforms your audio system’s performance from good to truly exceptional. With advanced Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) technology, proprietary viscoelastic materials and elegant maple wood housing, the Vibrare Fermata doesn’t just sit beneath your power board – it elevates your entire listening experience.
Why Vibration Control Matters in Hi-Fi
Even the most meticulously engineered amplifiers, DACs and preamps are vulnerable to micro-vibrations and mains-borne noise that compromise clarity. By converting your power board into an AC mains filter, the Vibrare Fermata tackles resonance at the source, reducing the noise floor and freeing up dynamic range. The result? A soundstage that feels more open, bass that’s tighter and more controlled, and midrange vocals that gain warmth and presence.
Cutting-Edge CLD Technology
Borrowing from aerospace-grade Constrained Layer Damping, Les Davis has sandwiched a viscoelastic core between two stiff decoupling layers. This 3D(2) design in the two 10 x 500mm strips effectively dissipates vibrational energy and prevents transmission into your power distribution. Whether you have a 6-in-line or 8-in-line board, integration is effortless – simply place the strips beneath and let the mechanical resonance vanish.
Audio Performance Enhancements
- Lower Noise Floor: Experience a fuller dynamic range as ambient noise disappears, revealing micro-details in recordings.
- Improved Bass Definition: The reduction in mechanical coupling delivers punchier, more articulate low-end response.
- Enhanced Midrange Clarity: Vocals and instruments gain lifelike warmth, creating a more engaging soundstage.
- Superior High-Frequency Extension: Highs become more refined, with reduced glare and improved air.
