Pangea Audio Pico Small Sorbothane Foot - Each

Sorbothane Feet Sized for a Source Component of 16 to 40 Pounds

Pangea Audio Pico Feet are sold singly and in a pack of four. Each foot is a molded pad of Sorbothane, shaped by Pangea's designers with Sorbothane's own engineers. A set of four is made for a source component such as a CD player, streamer, DAC, phono stage or preamp of 16 to 40 pounds.

A component's stock feet pass shelf vibration into its chassis. Sorbothane is a visco-elastic polymer: a solid that behaves like a liquid toward vibration and turns the motion into a little heat. The component rides on the Sorbothane instead of the shelf.

Sorbothane Works Inside a Weight Range, So Match the Foot to the Load

Fit, Load and Materials

A set of four Pico Feet is rated for 16 to 40 pounds, or 4 to 10 pounds a foot. Under too little load the pad barely compresses; over the maximum it stops absorbing. Pangea says to add feet or step up a size once the weight passes the top of the range.

Each foot is molded with a 'P' on one face, and Pangea recommends setting the foot with the 'P' facing down. Pangea does not publish the foot's height, so allow a little extra clearance under a component on a tight rack shelf.

Pico is the lighter of the two Pangea feet. The Mega Feet carry 40 to 80 pounds a set and are made for power amps, receivers and power conditioners. Both use the same Sorbothane; the Mega is simply the larger foot.

Who Are the Pico Feet Best For?

• You own a source component such as a CD player, streamer, DAC, phono stage or preamp of 16 to 40 pounds — four Pico Feet carry it inside the Sorbothane's working range
• Your rack shelf is glass, thin wood or metal — the feet take the place of hard stock feet that pass shelf vibration into the chassis
• Your component has three feet, or is heavy at one end — the feet are sold singly, so you buy exactly the count you need
• You want a foot from a name you know — Pangea is our own brand, and the material is genuine Sorbothane
• Your component weighs more than 40 pounds — the Mega Feet are the same Sorbothane in a larger foot, rated 40 to 80 pounds a set

How Do You Set Them Up?

Weigh the component or check its manual, and confirm that 16 to 40 pounds covers it. Set four feet on the shelf where the corners of the chassis will land, 'P' side down. Lower the component so the chassis rests on the feet and the stock feet hang clear of the shelf. Check that it sits level.

Pairs Well With

What most Pico Feet owners shop next.

• Audio racks — a rigid, level shelf gives the pucks a firm grip
• Power conditioners — cleaner power for the gear you are isolating
• Isolation feet and cones — the other rungs for the rest of the rack
• Cables — the natural next upgrade for an isolated source

Frequently Asked Questions

How many do I need?

Four per component is the usual count, which is why the feet come in a pack of four. They are also sold singly, so a three-footed chassis takes three and a heavy component can take five or six.

Which Pangea foot do I need?

Go by the weight of the component. The Pico Feet are rated 16 to 40 pounds a set of four and the Mega Feet 40 to 80. A component right at 40 pounds can use either; pick the Mega if it will sit near the limit for long.

Do the feet go under the stock feet or under the chassis?

Pangea sets them under the chassis, 'P' side down, so the component's own feet hang clear. Sorbothane needs to be compressed by the component's weight to work, and the chassis gives it a flat surface to grip.

What if my component is heavier than the range?

Add feet. Pangea says the Sorbothane stops absorbing once the weight passes the top of the range, so spread the load over five or six feet, or move up to the Mega Feet.
