Usage Notes & Recommendations
The S3-3 is ideal for systems with multiple components such as an amplifier, source, and preamp/streamer, especially where height and separation matter.
With ~ 245 mm space between each shelf, it accommodates larger equipment.
Heavier gear should be placed on the lower shelf for improved stability.
Use provided spikes and discs to level and protect floors. Maintain ventilation behind and between shelves for heat dissipation.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe metal parts with a soft, dry cloth; avoid scratching or abrasive cleaners.
Clean MDF surfaces gently with slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
Periodically check and retighten bolts, pillars, and spikes.
Use the protective pads under spikes on delicate flooring surfaces.
