New Base and Pillar (NBP) chassis (NS9100ES)

Where some see the chassis as an empty box, ready to be filled with circuitry, Sony® ES engineers see a vital contributor to sound quality. Our engineers understand that the chassis can become a pathway for vibration that can subtly modulate wiring paths, resistance and capacitance values. All of this adds up to unwanted distortion. That's why the DVP-NS9100ES is built upon the formidable foundations of Sony's New Base and Pillar (NBP) chassis.

In Sony's previous Base and Pillar (BP) chassis, pillars stand on a metal panel base, to which side and top panels are installed. This design bolsters the strength of the bottom panel (the base), achieving high rigidity in a simple structure. The BP chassis also has the advantage of creating a large space in which the major subassemblies can be laid out with ease.

The New Base and Pillar (NBP) chassis of the DVP-NS9100ES is a significant refinement of this classic Sony design. New L-shaped side walls further increase the rigidity of the chassis, reduce resonance and free up internal area.

Off center insulator feet (NS9100ES)

To prevent shelf-borne vibration from entering the chassis, Sony's

insulator feet locate the screw hole off center. Varying the radius from screw to perimeter tends to vary the resonant frequency within the foot. In this way, vibrations coming from the bottom of the insulator act to cancel each other when they reach the screw mount.
