The Equinox Series was first launched in 2001 with the
introduction of the Equinox HiFi Rack. It soon gained ‘Best Buy’ status, but
in 2004 it achieved the ultimate accolade of ‘Product of the year’ at the What
HiFi? Sound & Vision Awards, a position it also won in 2005 and most
recently achieved a 'Hat Trick' in 2006 by winning 'Product of the Year' 3 years in succession
Combining high performance with practicality and good
looks, the Equinox series offers a flexible approach to equipment rack design.
The Equinox has the unique ability to grow with your system by allowing you to
begin with a 2 shelf base module, you then simply stack on top individual
single shelf modules to achieve the rack you require. Each single shelf module
is isolated on heavy duty spikes to ensure optimum performance from your audio/AV system.
All models incorporate glass shelves toughened to BS
6206A and EN 12600:2002, which are also decoupled from the rack framework to
prevent vibration affecting sensitive equipment.
Equinox XL Pro SE is a development on the standard
Equinox HiFi, utilising 4 legs in order to increase weight capacity and
footprint to accept wider equipment.
Colour options on the Equinox framework are Silver
Metallic, Graphite Metallic or Standard black, whilst glass options are Arctic
Frost, Anthracite and new for 2007 Piano Black. The option of standard or mini
single shelf modules are available for Equinox XL Pro SE.
As part of the new SE specification we have added an
additional level of isolation to each shelf via 4 carbon steel ball bearings
per shelf locked in place by nylon Isolation cups. They intern are given
further acoustic high frequency sound and vibration deadening properties by
having neoprene pads fitted to the top cups at isolation point to further aid sonic refinement.
XL Pro incorporates 4 legs
Toughed glass to BS6206A. Carpet spikes included
