What are they?
Great question! According to their website:

BUILT ON THE FOUNDATION OF OUR CORE TECHNOLOGY, THE 1X SERIES SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS LEVELS OF ELECTRONIC INDUCED NOISES EMITED BY POPULAR INTEGRATED AV RECEIVERS, PROCESSORS, STREAMING DEVICES, ACTIVE SPEAKERS AND OTHER SIMILAR PRODUCTS.

THE FORMULATION UTILIZED IN CREATING THE 1X IS RELATIVE TO WHAT IT IS COMBATTING. IN OTHER WORDS, THE 1X SERIES IS MADE TO CONTROL DISTINCT LEVELS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE PRESENT WITHIN SPECIFIC TYPES OF EQUIPMENT.

They will be at the Axpona Show in the million dollar plus Vitus Audio / Estelon room.
 
Carbon Fiber absorbs and attenuates Radio Frequency radiation between 3 kHz and 300 GHz. Thus adding CF plates “may“ help with the audio quality….

I’m going to experiment with some CF plates a friend located on Amazon. I’m going to get some for the rack shelves and components. The Amazon vender will custom cut each plate. It’s an economical experiment.
 
Late response.
While visiting the Pacific Northwest Audio Show today I spent some time in the Audio Realignment Technologies room. Being open minded I listened to the demonstration several times. Nice exhibitors but more importantly this product is highly effective. The demonstration of the Electromagnetic Treatments units was easy to hear in a very good way. The audio gear used was very high end.
The units I saw were rectangular about four inches by six or seven maybe 3/8 inch thick. Surprisingly heavy for their size.

Pros: Immediate positive improvement. Sound was more natural and musical for lack of better words. Piano sound changed significantly from a recording to sounding real and live in the room. All grain, hardness, sharpness were removed more detail probably due to less background noise. Organic and musical, I don't have the sophisticated words to explain. Others in the room were clearly impressed.

Cons: The units are not cheap (to my modest budget). One each unit was placed on each piece of gear and a unit on (a clam shell) and below each speaker. They come in a number of prices with corresponding levels of effectiveness. I do not know the costs. I think a higher level was demonstrated but not 100% sure.

Conclusion, if you have the budget for an effective easy to use improvement I would highly recommend them in your home system. Beware, if you do try them you likely will not want to return them! :)

Please know I am not in any way connected with any audio sales or manufacture just an older guy who loves music. I'll be returning to the show later this evening just may ask for some units to try at home.
 
I heard them demoed. They work. Very well.
RFI EMI generated by power supplies are a target of the plates. Then their boxes addressed speaker and power cables.
When the devices were removed the previously good system sounded relatively flat and lifeless.
I’m not an engineer qualified to explain how they work, just a hobbyist who could hear their impact.
 
I am considering the 1X for my Lumin T2 Network Player (pending end-of-year EBIDTA bonus)...
 
I'm still on the fence about these. The cost is really high ($3000) for a flat piece of unknown substance, and its effectiveness. I have a Lumin X1 outputting directly to my mono block amps.
Where is the best place to try it?
Anybody else try these?

The audiophile sales verbiage on the website could be lifted from 100 other tweaky products out there. And the pricing structure seems absurd to me.

Maybe they reduce rfi/emi interference to audio components, but I wouldn’t take them seriously without blind testing and a return guarantee.

And wouldn’t this be something that could be simply measured?
 
From my understanding, they are composed, in part, of carbon and for the h of it I purchased some carbon sheets at a total cost of about $40.00 just to see if the hype about rfi / emi absorption is accurate and to my somewhat surprise, I was able to hear what I perceive to be an improvement . If it really was an improvement of course is subjective but I am considering trying one of these sheets from the dealer-Scott Walker- who I have spoken to and will take returns if this project proves unsuccessful. Time and a few bucks for delivery charges will tell.
 
Thank you for the replies. Strange $ product...
I am interested in what your results are if someone does get a chance to try them.

Seems to me that if graphite carbon is the key to the success of these devices, it might be a heck of lot cheaper to get a used Black Diamond Racing shelf and then line if with mu metal and copper adhesive foil. These materials are unequivocally proven to be effective barriers of EMI and RFI and the cost will almost certainly be a fraction of the ART shelves. Will such a DIY shelf work as well as their 1x/3x/5x/22x products? I'd love to know the answer to that! Why not throw in a Schnerzinger Giga cancellation device as well? The world of presumably effective audio tweaks never ends, but at what price?

As an owner of numerous of these things, I would not be caught with my pants down without them. I don’t know why you would have your system closed off if you’re trying to enjoy it or show it off.. if you think I am exaggerating again.

Now for those who may have it and don’t get such results, go snapping on your fridge for three hours and then pull it off if you can and then put it on your thing and then try to reattach your jaw if you care to. You’re probably just ignore it as you order more.

No, for those thinking, I’m some sort of ploy or shoe in or something of the sort I laugh. I am just a proponent of things that work exceptionally well;
Exhibit a is Advion right. Apply at once and you and your neighbors won’t have cockroaches for 10 years. That is something that I am all about yet again I am not the pest control sales representative


— when I first got the art, the acoustic realignment technology plates. I initially got two quantity one of the smallest ones and one 5X. The first thing I did was I put on the Mandalorian season two episode seven the believer. Because the intro to this episode is my go to test. What I had done having press play was it as it was going through the recap, etc. was I had placed the 5X underneath my Acurus ACT 20ch receiver and I just happened to and I swear inadvertently place the other one just I put it down and I put it down on the corner of my MI347 which functions predominantly as my height amplifier.

Then the beginning of the episode began, and I swear on my life, I ducked because I was terrified about the ship flying above… mind you this is the exact scene that I have seen countless times and this is the exact scene that I use as a basis for judging changes. I was terrified and I duct. I then paused it to order many more. It’s kind of bonkers however you have to put it on your fridge for like three hours two hours one hour put it on go take a nap. Put it on go have some dissociative conversations. Put it on and sit patiently. If you let it sit there for an hour two hours, you’re gonna have a hell of a time moving in once you put it on your amp, you might wanna have a second person around because you’re not gonna be able to easily move it to test where is best

If you do this, the results will be magnified maybe 57 times however those results are not temporary once you charge it like that so as long as you keep your device on it stays as effective like if you go to try to remove it in a week or Two weeks, it won’t even budge….

I literally moved my 451 McIntosh, which weighs 145 pounds before the actual magnet moved when I was trying to adjust it. This is only after putting it on the refrigerator for some hours and then this is the result week later.

That’s all folks enjoy have fun. Don’t forget you need to get it ready
