The Manuka Experience, in a New Expression
The Montaudio Manuka MP Prestige HiFi Rack brings the engineering principles of the multi-award-winning Manuka architecture to a wider range of high-end systems — preserving every element of rigour that defines the flagship MR Reference series, and introducing a new tier of finish and shelf construction that sits beautifully within both classic and contemporary listening rooms.
Solid, spacious and beautifully resolved, the Manuka MP is not a compromise. It is a different expression of the same fundamental commitment: to provide sensitive audio electronics with the most acoustically inert, mechanically stable and vibration-controlled foundation that engineering can produce.
MVIP — Montaudio Vibration Isolation Pillar System
At the heart of every Manuka MP shelf is the proprietary MVIP (Montaudio Vibration Isolation Pillar) system — the same signature technology found throughout the Manuka range. The internal geometry of each shelf features machined stepped-honeycomb pillars that control and disperse both equipment-borne and airborne vibrational energy before it can reach the sensitive electronics resting above.
When paired with Montaudio's in-house Tongariro TR or Rangitoto R1 isolation dampeners, this architecture becomes even more effective — channelling residual energy away from component footings and dissipating it through the multi-layer birch structure. The result is the exceptionally quiet, stable foundation that defines the Montaudio listening experience: a rack that is an active acoustic participant, not merely a piece of furniture.
High-Density Full-Birch Plywood Construction
Each Manuka MP shelf is constructed from high-density, full-birch plywood — a material chosen for its acoustic properties, structural consistency and long-term dimensional stability. At 42mm thick and measuring 650 × 550mm per tier, each shelf provides a generous, well-proportioned platform for amplifiers, source components, power supplies and other high-end equipment.
With a load capacity of up to 100kg per shelf and a maximum of four tiers, the Manuka MP accommodates the most ambitious component collections with complete confidence.
Heavyweight Solid Stainless-Steel Legs
The Manuka MP retains the precision-engineered, heavyweight dampened solid stainless-steel legs of the flagship MR Reference series — ensuring structural integrity, resonance resistance and the premium aesthetic that the Manuka range is known for. Confident coupling and precise levelling are achieved via hidden rotating collars within each leg, maintaining the clean, uncluttered visual profile that defines Montaudio's design philosophy.
Leg packs are available in four heights — 170mm, 220mm, 270mm and 320mm — in an elegant satin finish, allowing precise tier height customisation to suit your equipment dimensions and preferred ergonomics.
MSEC & MPOD — Rigid Yet Dampened
The Manuka MP incorporates Montaudio's Secure Fit (MSEC) system and Isolation Pods (MPOD), creating a rigid yet fully dampened interface between shelf, leg and foot at every point of contact. This dual-function approach ensures the rack is mechanically stable and precisely levelled, while simultaneously preventing vibration from travelling between components through the structure of the rack itself.
Fully Modular — Compatible with Manuka MR
The Manuka MP is designed with a modular philosophy and is fully compatible and interchangeable with the Manuka MR Reference series. Any combination of MP and MR tiers can be mixed within a single rack, allowing a genuinely bespoke system architecture that suits your equipment, your space and your aesthetic vision. As your system evolves, so can your rack.
Three Refined Finishes
The Manuka MP is available in three carefully considered finishes:
- Midnight Black — discreet, modern and versatile
- Walnut Colour — warm and classic, complementing natural timber interiors
- Original Birch — the natural beauty of the birch plywood, honest and refined
Each finish is offered in a form that flatters both contemporary minimalist interiors and the warmer, more traditional aesthetic of a dedicated listening room.
