LMH Components

Mechanical precision components for demanding audio systems.

Engineering Instead of Accessories

At LMH, components are not developed as accessories, but as mechanical solutions to real acoustic problems.

Equipment feet, equipment bases and structural components are designed consistently with one central objective in mind:
mechanical stability, controlled energy flow and reproducible geometry.

The development follows a clearly technical logic.
Mass, stiffness, damping and energy transfer are treated as integral parts of an audio system.

Electronic equipment, loudspeakers and especially turntables are sensitive to mechanical feedback and micro-vibrations — both originating from the component itself and from structure-borne vibrations transmitted through the room.

LMH components address precisely this point.

Instead of decorative accessories, the result is a range of components engineered specifically for the following properties:

High structural stiffness

Controlled vibration behaviour

Reproducible geometry

Long-term dimensional stability

The result is components that become part of the system architecture — not merely accessories placed under a device.

“Beautifully machined components and exceptional craftsmanship.
Exactly the kind of mechanical precision high-end audio equipment deserves.”

P. Waltz, USA

 MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTION

Material selection at LMH is not driven by visual appearance,
but by mechanical properties.

At the center are three fundamental parameters:

Mass – stiffness – internal damping

Only the interaction of these properties creates a controlled mechanical environment for sensitive audio components.

Typical materials include:

Panzerholz

Panzerholz (Tankwood) is an extremely dense technical wood material with exceptional stiffness and very good internal damping.

Due to its high material density and laminated structure, Panzerholz offers a very favourable balance of mass, stiffness and energy absorption.

This makes it particularly suitable for:

• equipment bases
• mechanical interface components
• resonance-critical structures in audio applications

Multiplex

Cross-laminated veneer layers provide high dimensional stability and reproducible mechanical properties.

The multi-layer construction prevents directional material stresses and helps reduce unwanted resonance modes.

Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is used for structural interface elements.

Typical applications include:

• threaded connections
• contact surfaces
• highly loaded mechanical interfaces

Its high stiffness ensures stable force transmission and defined mechanical coupling.

Elastomer Layers

Strategically placed elastomer layers allow controlled mechanical decoupling.

In CLD structures (Constrained Layer Damping), vibrational energy between two rigid layers is converted into heat and thereby effectively reduced.

Manufactured in the LMH Workshop

All LMH components are produced in the LMH workshop in Germany
from material selection and CNC machining to final surface finishing.

No mass production.
No traded goods.

Only precisely manufactured mechanical components for demanding audio systems.

Construction & Functional Principle

The LMH CDL equipment feet are based on a mechanically controlled multilayer structure, specifically designed to combine high mass, structural stiffness and defined internal damping.

The core consists of laminated Panzerholz, a high-density technical wood material with excellent internal loss damping.
Its layered structure forms a mechanically stable body capable of effectively absorbing structure-borne vibrations.

The underside is reinforced with a solid stainless steel plate.
This increases the local mass at the contact interface with the supporting surface and ensures a stable and well-defined mechanical coupling.

An elastomer interlayer acts as a controlled damping element between the rigid materials.
It reduces the transmission of high-frequency vibrations while preventing direct rigid coupling between the mass layers.

Mechanical integrity is ensured by a through-bolt threaded connection, which clamps all layers together and provides a precise mounting interface to the component.

The result is a mechanically stable and controlled interface between the component and the supporting surface, combining mass coupling with controlled damping.


Mass – Stiffness – Internal Damping

The different material properties create a controlled energy path in which mechanical vibrations are not reflected or amplified, but dissipated within the material structure.

This results in a mechanically stable and quiet support structure for sensitive audio components.

Loudspeaker & Equipment Feet

High-mass equipment feet designed for mechanical stabilization and controlled energy dissipation.

They form the mechanical interface between the component and the supporting surface, significantly influencing the vibration behaviour of a system.

Suitable for:

• amplifiers
• DACs
• streamers
• turntables
• loudspeaker bases

The construction allows both defined mechanical coupling and controlled damping.

Equipment Bases

Massive equipment platforms made from Panzerholz, designed to provide mechanical stabilization for sensitive audio components.

Many electronic devices react sensitively to micro-vibrations transmitted through furniture or the floor.

A massive equipment base reduces these influences and creates a stable mechanical reference.

Typical construction:

• solid Panzerholz
• CLD hybrid constructions
• precise CNC machining

The objective is a mechanically quiet operating environment for sensitive electronics.

Turntable Bases

Turntables are particularly sensitive to mechanical feedback.

Even very small vibrations can be transmitted through the bearing, platter and tonearm, directly affecting the cartridge and playback system.

Massive turntable bases therefore create a stable mechanical reference structure.

Typical construction:

• solid Panzerholz
• CLD hybrid constructions
• precise CNC machining
• optional tonearm integration

Typical platforms:

• Garrard 301 / 401
• Thorens TD-124
• Technics SL-1200

Project-specific solutions for other turntables are also possible.


Handcrafted Enclosures

Individually manufactured enclosures made from wood, Panzerholz, and aluminium for amplifiers and electronic components — custom-sized, precision CNC-machined, and tailored both visually and functionally to the specific application.

Custom Hi-Fi Furniture & Racks

Custom-built racks and furniture made from solid wood, multiplex, or Panzerholz — engineered for high load capacity, controlled resonance behaviour, and seamless integration into the living environment.

Absorbers & Diffusers

Acoustic elements designed for the targeted control of reflections, reverberation, and diffusion — developed project-specifically to match the room and its acoustic requirements.

Structural Audio Components

In addition to complete components, LMH also manufactures mechanical parts for demanding audio and loudspeaker projects.

Typical examples include:

• horn mounting rings
• adapter plates
• mechanical interface elements
• CNC-machined custom parts

Such components are commonly used in:

• DIY projects
• prototype development
• small-series production

Project-Specific Solutions

Custom Components

Many LMH components originate from specific project requirements.

If your system requires a particular mechanical solution, components can be developed and manufactured on a project-specific basis.

Typical projects include:

• custom turntable bases
• tonearm mounting plates
• equipment platforms
• specialized equipment feet
• mechanical adapters and interface components

Small-Series Manufacturing in the LMH Workshop

All LMH components are manufactured in our own workshop.

This allows:

• precise CNC machining
• careful material selection
• flexible customization
• direct quality control

Most parts are produced in small series or project-based manufacturing.

This approach also makes it possible to realize special requirements and individual solutions.
