Rack of Silence - Standard

Solid Tech "Rack of Silence" - Standard

The Rack of Silence design is extremely versatile and functional in order to guarantee minimum resonance and vibration.


Rack of Silence is available in various wood trim colors as well as black or silver anodized aluminium extrusions. The Rack of Silence comes almost completely pre-assembled, ensuring a quick and easy installation of the sound system. The Apparatus Support system is made of extruded aluminum which controls effectively the resonance as both sides are coated with acrylic glass and insulated from the wooden strut with a cork lined underside. Even the top is cork lined and offers the apparatus a scratch resistant as well as a resonance-free surface to be placed on.
Rack of Silence can be ordered in eight different sizes. The Reference line has integrated an efficient isolation system meanwhile the Regular line is without.

Features
Excluding as much resonance prone material as possible
Vibration and resonance generate the most common reasons for sonic degradation within audio systems, which prevent even the most musical of HIFI systems from reproducing accurately the emotional and expressive qualities of recorded music. Sonic coloration and soundstage limitations are obvious drawbacks generated by insufficient rack designs.

In order to minimize vibration within the audio system whilst still maintaining accurate transient response, tonal balance and soundstage imaging, we have introduced a new approach into the rack design. By excluding as much resonance prone material (shelf board) as possible, the energy storage is minimized within the rack. The design in conjunction with selected materials enable any audio system to perform to its fill potential.

Suspension system
To achieve even greater isolation with improved performance as a result, the ability to simply apply free-floating suspension to the shelves can be added as an option (Reference). The suspended shelves are totally isolated both vertically and horizontally.

Stackable
Rack of Silence is stackable. By exchanging the top lid to one with brass insert, another rack can be positioned on top.

Corner pillars that effectively eliminate resonances
The extruded aluminum pillars are not only designed as timeless Roman pillars but in fact through their design effectively eliminate resonance propagation, introduce improved vertical propagation and introduce improved vertical and mechanical grounding properties.

The measures
Three pillar heights are available, 300, 600 and 900mm (11.8, 23.6 and 34.4in). The wood trims are made of beechwood (hardwood) and are available in stained cherry, walnut, black and white. Other rack dimensions are: width 700mm (27.6in) and depth 500mm (19,.7in). allowing for the audio equipment with a width of 535mm (20in) to be placed on each shelf.

Load limits
Any audio configuration can be positioned in Rack of Silence. The Basic shelves can support a load of 40kg (88 lbs) and Heavy-Duty shelves can support a load of up to 80kg (176 lbs).

Fully vertical adjustable shelves
Rack of Silence is a modular shelf assembly design enabling easy re-positioning of shelves along the full corner pillar length.

Post modern design
Rack of Silence is post-modern design including truly new concept features, generating the ability for all audio systems positioned therein to reproduce music with intricate and delicate qualities as unrestrained and naturally as ever before.
