The Hybrid’s latest developments allow flexibility like never before. Starting for example with a 4-shelf vertical rack you can easily reassemble with the focus on horizontal expansion such as a 2-shelf racks side by side. If needed later, you can build vertically again while keeping the horizontal foundation from earlier. With this type of flexibility there are endless of options to explore, meaning you can design the optimum A/V rack and tweak according to any changes you wish to make without any loss of platform-stability. Hybrid pillars and extrusions are available in silver or black anodized aluminum.
To enhance the Hybrid rack even more and to satisfy all tastes we are now introducing veneered shelves in Cherry, Oak and Walnut. The veneer is of the same high quality as in the Radius rack system. With these shelves the console is attached from the bottom meaning that there will be no visible screw heads. In-between the shelf and the console is also attached a piece of cork that aims to absorb even more any external and internal vibrations.

The Concrete material is selected due to its excellent audio characteristics and high density that will increase the rack's stability. Unlike the body of a musical instrument, good audio racks should not vibrate, as modern drivers today render the full sound spectrum linearly. But if the rack itself does vibrate due to its construction or materials, then those vibrations affect performance by amplifying or diminishing certain sympathetic frequencies within the sound spectrum. It is a complicated physical process with a simple and clearly audible consequence.
Concrete is very heavy that will give the rack more stability
Its weight and high density prevent it from vibrating
Concrete is irregularly structured that will promises for low amplitude at resonance frequency (less energy storage and a quick decay).
Concrete is also a beautiful natural material that works in most house styles, modern as well as classic. Each shelf is handmade and will thus slightly differ from one another.

Hybrid integrated isolation system is mounted on top of the Hybrid corner pillars in order to decouple from any undesired vibrations. The isolators are available in 2 versions, for 8-60kg load and for 8-180kg load.
Hybrid Top Isolators measurement performance
• 30kg loaded on 4 isolator spots with 3 springs per isolator • Peak improvement with isolation: 89% • Vibration source is situated below the object and the sensor above the isolated rack shelf.
The Hybrid Isolation shelf has an inbuilt unsurpassed isolation system that isolate each level from each other as well as from the floor. Hybrid Isolation shelf isolate the equipment from vibration using two shelves with a mechanical suspension system in-between. The advantage of the Hybrid Isolation Shelf is that each module will be individually isolated and the rack will keep its stability.
The Hybrid Isolation Shelf comes with a spring system that contains as many as 28 springs in total and can bear a maximum weight of 46kg. Customers can easily adjust the amount of springs in order to optimize the isolation and adapt to the equipment weight. Below is a measurement analysis of the shelf that shows the damping efficiency.
The Isolation shelves can be used in both Hybrid standard, Hybrid Full Length as well as Hybrid Wood system.
The bottom shelf is available in the following configurations:
Bottom shelf: black and white
The top shelf: black, white, walnut, cherry, oak and black oak
Extrusions: black and silver
Measurement performance
• 20kg loaded on 4 isolator spots with 3 springs per spot • Peak improvement with isolation: 88% • Vibration source is situated below the object and the sensor above the isolated rack shelf
The Hybrid Isolation shelf-kit HD has an inbuilt unsurpassed isolation system that isolates each level from each other as well as from the floor. Hybrid Isolation shelf-kit HD isolates the equipment from vibration using two shelves with a mechanical suspension system in-between. The advantage is that each module will be individually isolated and the rack will keep its stability.
The HD variant is made to withstand even higher loads than the isolation shelf-kit. The integrated isolation system in the Isolation shelf-kit HD is even more efficient as it is based on tension spring compared to compression spring used in the Isolation shelf-kit.
The Hybrid Isolation Shelf-kit HD comes with a spring system that contains as many as 48 springs in total and can bear a maximum load of 90kg (24 springs) or 180kg (48 springs). It is easy to adjust the amount of springs in order to optimize the isolation efficiency.
The Isolation shelf-kit HD can be used in both Hybrid standard, Hybrid Full Length as well as Hybrid Wood.
Size of the shelf is 435mm x 495mm x 60-70mm.

The hybrid 180 mm sideboard is a perfect compliment to the Hybrid rack. The multi usage purpose of the sideboard are for example: holder of RIA amp, CDs, remote controls, etc...
The sideboard can be on either side of the rack and fully adjustable in height just like the normal Hybrid shelfs are.
The sideboard is available in black, white and veneers in oak, black oak, walnut and cherry. The sideboard can be combined with any extrusion colour.
Hybrid top table is available in black and white MDF or veneered sandwich board.
Black and white painted board
Texture painted MDF with Spirit Level for easy leveling.
Size is 695 x 520 x 22mm and weight is 6 kg.
When only supported in the corners max recommended load is 60kg. However if the Hybrid’s top most shelf is raised and supports are placed between the Hybrid shelf and Top Table Shelf the load can be 125kg.
Veneered sandwich board
The Veneered sandwich board is available in oak, black oak, cherry and walnut.
To the new Hybrid Wood corner pillars is also new turntable developed. These new turntables are made of a sandwich board that have been veneered in black oak, oak, walnut and cherry. The sandwich board consists of 4 layers:
Layer 1: thin sheet of cork on the top to avoid any potential ringing in the table
Layer 2: MDF
Layer 3: Porous damp layer that will absorb and remove resonance in the table
Layer 4: MDF
The board has been tested by letting a 9,8g steel ball be dropped 50 cm above the sandwich board and compared with a standard MDF board. The result is described in below table:
Test object
Peak value (dB)
Peak average over 3 seconds (dB)
Sandwich board
109,7 dB
73,9 dB
Standard MDF board
119,9 dB
87,1 dB
From the result one can read that the sandwich board basically damp with 10-13dB compared to a standard MDF board.
The large top tables have a limitation of load as it is placed on top of the corner pillars of the Rack of Silence. The maximum load is 50kg. If further load is required it is recommended to place the uppermost rack shelf just beneath it and use the apparatus support to assist the support of the table. In this way the maximum load can be increased to 160kg.
Hybrid corner pillars are sold in pairs and available in many alternatives.
To estimate the height needed you need to consider that the extruded console is possible to move along the full corner pillar height.
The "Cable Clamp" for Hybrid and Rack of Silence will organaize and hide any cable very efficiently behind the posts of the rack.
No need to dismantle anything, just push in a screw feedthrough in the track on the Hybrid or Rack of Silence corner pillars and then add the clamp and fix it with a screw. The Clamp is made of soft steel and can hold any cable up to 35mm in diameter. See instruction movie here:
Hybrid Duo top table is available in black and white.
Size is 1310 x 516 x 22mm and weight is 13,5 kg.
Max recommended load is 120kg evenly distributed over the table.
The block design does not only offfer endless flexibility but also ensures effective isolation between every shelf for enhanced performance.
Externally as well as internally born resonances and vibrations are effectively reduced by the felt-padded isolation disc made from brass which create the necessary joint which stops the expansion of unwanted movements (resonances/vibrations)
