TAOC — The Trusted Brand
TAOC is a brand of products designed for high-grade audio systems
from Aisin Takaoka Co., Ltd.
With over 50 years of history as the top maker of cast iron components for the
automobile industry and a member of the Toyota Group of companies, Aisin Takaoka
has built up extensive know-how in the characteristics, molding and processing of castiron materials.
Based on this experience, Aisin Takaoka was the first company to identify
the oscillation-attenuating properties of cast iron and its affinity with audio products,
leading to the development of high-grade audio accessories.
The name TAOC is derived from “Takaoka Anti-Oscillation Casting.”
Building on the principle that mastering oscillation is the key to mastering audio,
TAOC has been engaged for many years in mastering the effects that
oscillations have on music.
Based on the foundation we have established through automobile manufacturing,
TAOC products have continued to be the brand of choice of audiophiles
around the world for over 30 years—
a true testimony to the reliability of TAOC.

Shelf boards comprise a five-layer construction with our newly developed
cast iron-powder-filled honeycomb core.
The shelf board comprises a five-layer
sandwich construction with a newly
developed cast iron-powder-filledhoneycomb core and high-density

Is your audio equipment delivering to its true potential?

TAOC’s audio accessories absorb and insulate your audio
equipment’s tiny vibrations to improve the quality of your setup,
allowing it to deliver to its true potential.

The 3 Pillars of TAOC

1. High Resolution & Analog Feel
TAOC’s goal is to achieve the perfect balance between high resolution and the analog
feel. We are convinced that a well-balanced mix of clear sounds and soft sounds isexactly what listeners are looking for. This is the principle on which we base our audio
evaluations.

2. Cast Iron (FC)Cast iron is the generic term for iron alloys that contain 2.1% or more carbon. Endowedwith oscillation-attenuating properties and just the right amount of resonance, this metal is
the perfect match for audio. A typical example of this metal’s use would be in the frames of
pianos, which are made entirely from cast iron.

3. Vibration Damping & Oscillation Control
At TAOC, we use our experience in vibration damping to eliminate as much as possible any
vibrations that are unrelated to your music, enabling us to prevent these vibrations fromsuperimposing on the desired vibrations that make up your sound, while at the same time
optimizing those desired vibrations through our detailed understanding of oscillation
control.

TAOC’s vibration-damping technologies[Rigid construction] -- Prevents the increase of oscillations generated by audio equipment.
[Vibration insulation] -- Prevents and diverts the transmission of vibrations and diverts them.
[Friction damping] -- Absorbs vibrations.
[Modification of vibration boundary conditions] -- Prevents sympathetic vibrations

TAOC’s oscillation-controlling technologies
We select the optimal material and design optimal shapes based on listening tests
and instrumental evaluations.

Audio Board
TAOC audio boards help you further improve your setup's level of perfection
Audio boards have two responsibilities. One is to keep the vibration of equipment on the board from amplifying.
The other is to keep vibrations from reaching the equipment.
The advantage of TAOC boards is that they provide just the right amount ofoscillation control—and this is what creates a pleasing sound.

Feature[Unique construction improves sound quality][Deliver performance in a wide range of applications]

These boards have a five-layer construction that comprises a newly developed castiron-powder-filled 7mm thick honeycomb core sandwiched between layers ofhigh-density wood-grain fiberboard material, which are then overlaid with back andfront surface materials. (The RS Series have a seven-layer construction.)
These are solid boards that keep your equipment stable and suppress thetransmission of vibration with its high rigidity, large specific gravity and excellent
vibration-damping performance.

TAOC boards were developed to suppress the transmission of vibration from all audio
equipment. As well as addressing your speakers' relationship to your floor, theseboards suppress vibrations generated between heavy amplifiers and the floor, therack and floor, as well as your (CDs, records, etc.) players and floor to improve soundresolution.

[Abundant range of sizes]

Speaker Stand
Speaker stands that bring out the natural andintrinsic sound of your speakers
Speaker stands and speakers are inseparable---one could say that your speaker and stand come together to form a single integral unit.
We at TAOC believe the fundamental characteristics of speaker stands are quietness
and speaker stability.
We use our unique vibration-damping construction and the weight of the stand itself toachieve stability and reduce the stand’s oscillations to a minimum,
bringing out the intrinsic sound and power of your speakers.

Feature◆ Levels of pole vibration from applied vibration shock[TAOC’s unique composite vibration-damping construction](Figures are from tests on a speaker stand)

The top plate has a friction damping construction to suppress its resonance and thepole has been filled with cast iron powder to achieve the same effect. TAOC’s patented
friction damping technology, which uses dual-layer iron plates, was a world-first. The
cast iron powder used to fill the interior of the pole has been graded by particle size,
specific gravity and volume to optimize resonance-suppression properties.

Insul ator
Insulators lift your audio equipment to the next level
TAOC’s insulators use three different types of cast iron: gradation, high-carbon, and advanced
high-carbon cast iron.
The affinity of the vibration damping performance of these materials with sound quality has beenrecognized by various audio manufacturers, and they have found their way into the legs of manyhigh-end record players and amplifiers. Use these insulators to give your audio equipment an
upgrade, or to tune your system to make its sound uniquely your own.
