Extreme Performance Solutions



Rack of Silence - Isolation system

The Rack of Silence Basic shelf is also available prepared for suspension. The suspension kit is an excellent isolation system, permitting free movement in all planes.

Free movement in all planes is a prerequisite for achieving extremely effective isolation from bending, twisting and flexing forces that the ground borne vibrations impose on the corner pillars. Optimal level adjustment is easily achieved, since the spring holders are infinitely adjustable along the corner pillars.

The suspension kit contains all parts for isolation of one shelf. There are two versions available that cover weights between 5-15kg (11-33 lb) respectively 15-40kg (33-88 lb).

The difference between them is the thread diameter of the springs (1mm respectively 1,2mm)
Optimal isolation is achieved by choosing the correct weight class, and by implementing the amount of springs in relation to the load. For safety precautions, the kit is delivered with a security screw that is mounted in the corner pillar groove, directly bellow the suspended shelf. Should the shelf for any reason be accidentally overloaded, the security screw will prevent the spring to be extracted beyond its recommended maximum extracted length.

Radius Suspension

The equally safe as ingenious and highly effective Radius isolation device for the shelves is easily integrated into the corner pillar. Assembly of the device is simple, fast and does not require any tools.

Adapting and level adjustment for various weights (as well as unevenly distributed weight) can be easily accomplished at the point of assembly, by increasing or decreasing the amount of springs. If later on, there is a change in equipment used, just add or subtract amount of springs – no tools required.

 

The suspension kit for top or extension shelves contain all required parts needed for the isolation of the shelf plane. By using appropriate number of the 12 included springs, one can accomplish highly effective isolation for weights ranging 5-20 kg (11-44 lb).

The springs are made of high-grade SS1774-04 steel, an industrial quality chosen for its superior reliability and non fatigue characteristics. Naturally, one can increase amount of springs to isolate weights up to 60 kg (132 lb), which is the maximum recommended shelf load.

Radius & RoS Isolation Feet

The corner legs of Rack of Silence and Radius can be equipped with permanently mounted Discs of Silence. We consider this to be the optimal solution for Mono amplifier stands. This is a highly cost effective isolation that benefits the entire system, provided one can accept a certain amount of lateral movement.

We highly recommend this solution since it reduces the floor borne resonances by more than 90% before it reaches the rack.This is recommended for rack systems with a maximal height of 600mm ( 24”) and with total weight of maximum 90kg (200lb). The center of gravity should be bellow the mid section of the rack. We only recommend this setup for dedicated listening rooms, and environments without small children and pet animals



 Radius Solo

Extension shelves as well as top shelf can be equipped with suspension. This ingenious suspension can effectively isolate gear weighing between 5-60kg (11-132pounds) and even handle gear with uneven weight distribution, by simply adding or subtracting springs in the corners. The distance between the corner-pillars is 520mm ( 20,5 inches)

 


Radius Six Shelves

This design graphically shows how the structural rigidity of the rack can be maintained despite use of 4 suspended shelves. Use of multiple suspended shelves demand strategically placed fixed shelves in order to assure rigidity. As seen on the image, the first shelf from the bottom is fixed, followed by two suspended shelves. Next follows a fixed shelf that assures rigidity. After this shelf, there is rigidity for another two suspended shelves. Despite use of our longest leg kit (319mm) between the first and the second shelf, the total height does not exceed 1120mm (44 inches).

 

 

This combination offers effective isolation against ground borne vibrations and resonances, simultaneously isolating the individual components from affecting each other, working with the components to bring the best out in them and in their relationship to one another as a system.

Rack of Silence - Black finish

Rack of Silence is available in stainded cherry or black lacquer finish. The wood trims are made of Beechwood (hardwood). Three pillar heights are available: 300, 600 and 900mm

 

 



 Rack of Silence - Mono stand

Rack of Silence is also available as a Mono amp stand, both fixed and suspended versions. Basic shelves support 40kg (88lbs.) and the Heavy Duty shelves support 80 kg (176 lbs.)

 

 



 Rack of Silence - Reference

This setup includes all isolation systems combined. The Disc of Silence mounted on the corner pillars isolates the Rack of Silence from ground propagated vibrations and resonances. The suspended shelf’s combined with Feet of Silence and Disc of Silence isolates the individual apparatus from each other, and takes care of the eventual remaining resonances. Remember that no isolation system in the world is 100% effective, but with a combination of various isolation systems used in this setup, it is very close to total isolation
