Usage & Installation Notes
The HY-3 is ideal for supporting a complete audio / AV system — turntable, preamp, power amp, CD transport etc.
The modular shelf spacing allows you to adjust clearance for taller units.
The open-back and compact shelf size help keep rear cables unencumbered and ventilation optimal.
Place heavier gear on lower shelves for stability, use levelers/spikes to isolate floor resonance, and maintain side clearance for airflow.
Care & Maintenance
Clean steel frame parts with a soft, dry microfiber cloth — avoid solvents.
Wipe MDF shelf surfaces carefully with slightly damp cloth (then dry).
Periodically check that spikes and shelves are tight and level, especially after moving the rack.
Use the included protective floor discs when placing on delicate flooring.
