Synergistic Research Black Box Carbon Product Description:

Over a decade ago, Synergistic Research introduced the original Black Box, a groundbreaking broad-spectrum low-frequency resonator array that redefined how rooms handle bass. By eliminating nodes and modes, it expanded the ability of listening spaces to accurately reproduce deep bass, spatial cues, and harmonic structure. Built on the principle that all frequencies are interconnected through harmonics, the Black Box uses a mathematically derived algorithm of tuned sympathetic resonance to balance the entire audible range. Correcting phase at 20Hz, for example, also improves 40Hz, 80Hz, 160Hz, and beyond—clearing congestion, tightening bass, and revealing more musical detail across the spectrum.

Music, Headed Your Way

Now, the next chapter begins: Black Box Carbon. With refinements in resonance control, chassis construction, and tuning, the Black Box Carbon delivers even greater resolution, textural bass, and a natural, open presentation. Optimized for stacking and fully compatible with the original Black Box, it eliminates congestion to let nothing but pure music flow your way.

Updated Chassis and Resonator Design

The Black Box Carbon represents our most advanced approach to resonance control. Drawing on developments from products like the Voodoo Music Server/Streamer and PowerCell 14 Line Conditioner, we engineered a hybrid carbon fiber and aluminum chassis that is both rigid and highly effective at dissipating vibration. This improved structural integrity preserves the purity of sound waves as they interact with the internal resonator arrays.

At the same time, the resonators themselves have been refined with updated tuning and UEF material construction. These changes eliminate residual ringing and work more effectively with room resonances and harmonic frequencies, producing a richer, clearer, and more lifelike musical presentation.

Optimized for Stacking

During listening tests, we discovered that stacking Black Boxes produces a more profound sonic impact. To perfect this approach, we designed bronze contact inserts, chosen after evaluating numerous metals for their tonal qualities. Bronze delivered the ideal balance of resolution, fluidity, and natural timbre.

Not only can multiple Black Box Carbons be stacked for greater effect, but they can also be paired with the original Black Box. For example, placing a Carbon on the bottom with a first-generation unit on top delivers performance nearly equal to a full Carbon stack. This flexibility makes the Black Box Carbon an easy upgrade for both new and existing owners.

Synergistic Research Black Box Carbon Key Features:

Advanced Resonator Array with Carbon Fiber/Aluminum Chassis – Reduces mechanical vibration and eliminates ringing, delivering tighter bass, greater resolution, and a more natural presentation across the frequency spectrum.

Harmonic Resonance Balancing – Corrects phase at low frequencies to simultaneously clean up multiples throughout the range, removing congestion and enhancing clarity from bass through highs.

Optimized for Stacking – Bronze contact inserts enable multiple units (Carbon or original Black Box) to be stacked for even greater impact, improving bass definition and soundstage realism.

Enhanced UEF Material Integration – Further refines resonance control for improved detail retrieval and more lifelike imaging.
