Hybrid Wood Example Rack design

Hybrid Wood 3 shelf-kit design

Hybrid Wood 3 shelf-kit design Image

Hybrid Wood here in Walnut and Concrete shelves. 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 prevent vibrations to be spread

Concrete is also a beautiful natural material that works in most house styles, modern as well as classic. There are no visible screw heads and the consoles are isolated with cork to avoid any potential tone or “singing". Each shelf is handmade and will thus slightly differ from one another.

Hybrid Wood Turntable Shelf Image

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 TT-Shelf has a thickness of 24mm width of 527mm and a length of 705mm. 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	C-weight Peak value (dBc)	A-weight Peak average over 3 seconds (dBc)*
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 12dB compared to a standard MDF board.
