Use Cases & Installation Notes
Ideal for high-end audio / AV systems requiring stable, low-vibration support for amplifiers, DACs, preamps, CD players, and turntable setups.
For best results: ensure each shelf is leveled, heavier components on lower shelves, and maintain clearance behind for cabling.
The isolation system helps minimize resonance transmission to the equipment.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe the steel pillars with a soft, dry microfiber cloth (avoid abrasive cleaners).
Periodically check and re-tighten spikes and shelf screws, especially after moving.
Use the included floor discs to protect delicate flooring surfaces.
