Hi-Fi and Home Cinema systems can often be a centre point for many people within their homes. However, and in contrast, some people also wish to keep their audio components away from sight in discreet locations. But, in order to make sure your components are seated safely, a look into stands, racks and other related Hi-Fi furniture is an essential.

Atacama's Elara 500 Hi-Fi Rack

Most audio components require a substantial placement to take the item’s weight, and also to improve audio quality by allowing the components to receive natural airflow and to also stop any resonance moving throughout the entire system; resonance is caused by motorised components that cause other components to lose stability and their edge of accuracy. Of course, a substantial sideboard could be seen to have the ability to hold your equipment with no problems; but we are able to sell specially designed equipment racks and stands to accommodate your audio equipment to the highest of standards.

If you are looking for a suitable Hi-Fi racking system, think about research beforehand. For example, consider how many spaces or shelves you require, how much space there is to accommodate the rack or shelving unit and, finally, how will it blend to your room’s décor?  An array of stands can be made-to-order to get correct and precise materials or colours matched. However, many existing stands are already available in a wide-range of suitable and varying colours for your own choice. See below for what type of racks and stands are available.

Hi-Fi Racks:

A Hi-Fi rack is designed to hold your equipment efficiently and safely, whilst offering your easy access and offering your equipment to be isolated from vibrations (from motorised equipment; cassette decks, CD players and turntables). And, as well as isolating and securely holding equipment, a well-designed Hi-Fi rack will promote your components to breath and cool effectively when they are operating.

Speaker Stands:

Speaker stands are designed for bookshelf speakers to be used in other situations than their name suggests: away from a bookshelf. Speaker stands give all bookshelf speakers the opportunity to work as if they were floor-standing speakers. There are many varying manufacturers whom are accustomed to making various models of stands to fulfil many jobs in various locations. Heights and widths are optional to offer suitable support at height levels to match you, as the listener, when seated, or even when standing.

Speakers move the air to create vibrations – these are sound-waves. But, however, speakers can also vibrate the floors and shelves on which they are seated. Hi-Fi speaker stands are designed to reduce they effect of speakers vibrating other furniture in the room, as well as isolating vibrations between the speaker cabinets and the floor. A speaker stand will promote a more efficient use of the speaker because this will help the components of the speaker to vibrate only the air for waves to travel, as opposed to audible energy being lost through vibrating the floor or any other furniture in the same room. Some stands are fillable with special sand to minimise and isolate even further. In essence, a speaker stand will help to minimalize vibrations which can cause a negative effect on the overall sound which you will experience. Click here to look at speaker stand on our website.

AV & Home Cinema Stands:

Home Cinema racks and stands are designed to improve both picture and sound quality of your system. Although this may seem hard to believe, it’s a well-known fact that televisions work better on a well-designed stand as they are very susceptible to environments that contain constant movement. AV racks are ideal for housing all of your home entertainment goods in one solid, conventional and suitable piece of furniture. But, for your convenience, a Home Cinema rack and television stand will help to keep your delicate equipment in one place for easy access, with the option of hiding your equipment and associated media contents from view behind optional doors and glass enclosures. Again, isolation from vibrations and movement helps to increase performance, whilst helping to allow the equipment in your set-up to operate with correct airflow for easier cooling.
