Custom Rack

This is a custom design that was done for a demanding fellow audiophile. It is based on an industrial loading concept and designed to handle high loads. A stand out feature is the low height (26”) of the rack though it is made to accommodate 6 pieces of equipment (ranging from 2U to 5U in height) PLUS a turntable on the topmost shelf (or alternatively even a television.) The low height is ideal in setups where a projector screen or a large screen LCD is to be mounted on the rear wall (keep in mind LCDs are recommended to be mounted 26-30 inches off the floor).

Yet another feature is the open design of the rack that allows us to go “shelfless”.

The centre to centre distance between the front and rear pillars is 10″ inches.This allows us to place most equipment directly onto the horizontal supports thus omitting the entire shelf itself. Many audiophiles believe this shelfless system like the on the well received “spider rack” and theta rack offers absolute inertness lending no unwanted signatures or colorations to the music.

Alternatively equipment may also be placed on aluminum or wooden struts as seen as seen in image 2. For the traditionalists a shelf may be placed onto the struts over which you may place your electronics (See image 3).
