Strong, Stable, Stunningly Handsome 5-Shelf Rack with Advanced Isolation Features
You won't find a more impressive looking or better performing rack than the five-shelf Hyperspike HF-5 from Solidsteel. If you are fortunate enough to have assembled a no-compromise audio system, support your gear with this rock-solid rack that's designed to coax the best sound from your components by providing first-rate isolation features.
The Hyperspike name comes from the locking isolation spikes between each shelf and the large Hyperspike floor spikes for decoupling the rack from your listening room. Speaking of large, the HF rack series offers generous size shelves that are perfect for esoteric gear that doesn’t always conform to standard component dimensions.
This stunning five-shelf rack features stainless-steel frames made of 1.5"-diameter tubes that support handsome white or black lacquered MDF shelves. The modular design lets you combine HF-series racks to expand your storage capability as your system grows, or even to reduce the number of shelves if you decided to scale back your system.
Generous Shelf Space and Equipment Capacity
The HF-series shelf dimensions are the largest available in Solidsteel's flagship Hyperspike range of vertical racks. The HF-5 is 49" tall (including Hyperspike floor feet and Hyperspike floor pads), 25.4" wide, and 22.1" deep. Usable shelf dimensions are 25.4" wide, 22.1" deep for the top shelf and 21.1" wide, 22.1" deep for the lower shelves.
The distance between first and second shelf is 8" – between the second and third shelf is 8" - between the third shelf and the fourth shelf is 8" – and between the fourth shelf and the fifth shelf is 12". The distance between the fifth shelf and the floor is 6.9" (including Hyperspike floor feet and Hyperspike floor pads). The weight capacity is a maximum of 176 lb. per shelf.
Maximum Component Support and Isolation
The four-pillar tubular frame construction is designed to give maximum component support and minimum physical contact with the floor for isolation from room-borne vibrations. Each shelf is individually isolated, too.
The tubular supports are made of high quality solid INOX stainless steel, polished by a state-of-the art process for a smooth and shimmering finish. Contributing to the solid support and isolation capabilities of each shelf are securing screws, adjustable spikes with a locking mechanism, and metal isolation pads.
Rubber O-rings, somewhat similar to piston rings, improve the fit while reducing the transmission of mechanical energy between shelves. This is the acclaimed Hyperspike Vibration Free System, designed by Solidsteel.
