Oyaide OCB-BS Hybrid granite stone base for new OCB-1 series

Basic

Oyaide Electric’s power strip “OCB-1 Series Ver.2012” underwent a minor change in 2012. The “OCB-1 Series Ver.2012” has threaded holes in the four corners of the bottom surface to allow various optional accessories to be installed, while maintaining the same basic performance.

Now, we are releasing the black granite + butyl rubber hybrid base “OCB-BS” as an optional product exclusively for the “OCB-1 Series Ver. 2012.

※OCB-1 series prior to Ver.2012 do not have screw holes on the bottom, so OCB-BS cannot be installed.

Features

Example of installation on OCB-1SX

OCB-BS” is made of carefully selected 18 mm thick black granite, cut with high precision and finished with a beautiful mirror surface. The added weight of the black granite (1.3 kg) dramatically stabilizes the installation of the “OCB-1 Series Ver.2012” and prevents the power tap from lifting due to cable insertion. In addition, the black granite is compactly sized at 150mm square to enable installation in small spaces.

Butyl rubber sheet with excellent vibration absorption is attached to the bottom. This suppresses vibration of the floor surface. The included high-rigidity stainless steel screws securely screw the OCB-BS to the OCB-1. The included silicon rubber washer isolates vibration propagation between the OCB-1 and the OCB-BS. The “OCB-BS” is a must-have item for those who seek more stability from the “OCB-1 Series Ver.2012”.

💎 Key Features

✅ Granite + Composite Layering

• Granite is naturally rigid and acoustically inert, providing a stable mass that resists resonance.

• Internal composite layering helps dissipate micro-vibrations that would otherwise travel through your rack or floor.

✅ Custom-Fit for OCB-1

• Designed to perfectly match the footprint and mount points of the latest Oyaide OCB-1 models.

• Enhances both mechanical support and aesthetic integration.

✅ Mechanical Grounding

• Provides a rigid, high-mass platform to couple and drain vibrational energy from the power block.

• Helps prevent re-radiation of mechanical noise into sensitive digital or analog components.

🔊 Performance Benefits

• Cleaner power delivery by reducing mechanical-induced noise

• Enhanced dynamic contrast and imaging stability

• Minimizes the subtle sonic degradation caused by vibration-fed EMI/RFI

🧠 Best For:

• Users of Oyaide OCB-1 ST II, OCB-1 EXs, and other recent models

• Audiophiles seeking total system grounding control, especially in highly resolving setups

• Power distributors placed on resonant shelves, floors, or racks

🛠️ Pro Setup Tip:

• Combine the OCB-BS with OSP-SC or OSP-SS threaded spikes for fully decoupled vibration control.

• Use on solid-surface racks or concrete floors for best effect — avoid soft carpet placement unless isolated with footers.
