Performance & Isolation
Vibration control is critical for audiophile-grade reproduction. The Equinox RSs enhanced isolation gel pads act as precision-engineered dampers, absorbing and dissipating mechanical energy that can colour the sound. Whether youre spinning a dynamic jazz record or a bass-heavy electronic track, youll notice a cleaner soundstage with tighter bass focus and improved instrument separation.
Customisable Storage Solutions
The modular design empowers you to build a bespoke Hi-Fi tower: start with your base module and stack up to four tiers, each offering 145mm of storage. This flexibility benefits collectors who rotate between formats or expand their setups with additional gear. Plus, the extra shelving keeps your media organised, within arms reach, and elegantly displayed.

This shelf is ideal for the serious audiophile or home theatre enthusiast who already owns or plans to invest in the Equinox range. If you value a system that marries form and function—where every component sits on a stable platform designed to enhance sound—youll appreciate the Equinox RS shelfs combination of style, strength and acoustic isolation.
