Atacama Equinox RS HiFi Rack 195mm Shelf Review: Elevate Your Hi-Fi Experience

Atacama – Equinox RS – HiFi Rack 195mm Shelf Review unveils a meticulously engineered solution for audiophiles seeking impeccable organisation without compromising acoustic purity. This innovative module from Atacama, available at The Audio Tailor, marries robust build, advanced isolation gel technology and versatile storage, transforming any listening space into a masterclass of form and function.

Design & Build Quality

The Equinox RS 195mm shelf is precision-crafted to align seamlessly with Equinox Hi-Fi and Hi-Fi RS base modules, preserving its external footprint while delivering a generous 195 mm inner storage gap. Its rigid shelf surface is complemented by optimised isolation gel pads that attenuate micro-vibrations, ensuring your components remain acoustically decoupled from environmental interference and maintain peak performance.

Storage & Versatility

With a 195 mm storage gap beneath the shelf, you can neatly stow vinyl records, accessories or compact components. The modular, stackable architecture allows up to three additional shelves atop a single Equinox base, granting unprecedented customisation. Whether housing turntables, DACs, amplifiers or record collections, the Equinox RS adapts seamlessly to your evolving setup.

Sonic Isolation Performance

At its core, the upgraded isolation gel pads deliver a 10% increase in weight capacity and superior vibration attenuation. This optimised decoupling enhances transient response and clarity, allowing tonal subtleties and dynamic contrasts to emerge unscathed. For discerning listeners chasing pristine soundstage and precise imaging, the Equinox RS is an indispensable ally.

Seamless Integration & Scalability

Fully compatible with previous-generation Equinox racks, the 195 mm module steps in as the direct successor to the 180 mm variant. Its conserved footprint ensures your existing rack architecture remains undisturbed, whilst the increased inner capacity translates to tangible gains in system organisation.
