Using tables on top of the apparatus support seems to be increasingly popular. The rack will in this way have a more traditional rack look. Solid Tech introduces now both small tables as well as large top tables in veneers to extend the already existing black and white tables.
The small tables are made of high density MDF and available in the following veneers: walnut, cherry, oak and black oak.
The tables comes with spirit level and has the following measures: 19″x 17″x 0.7″.
Using tables on top of the apparatus support seems to be increasingly popular. The rack will in this way have a more traditional rack look. Solid Tech introduces mow both small tables as well as large top tables in veneers to extend the already existing black and white tables.
The large top tables are made of a sandwich board that have been veneered in oak, black oak, walnut and cherry. The sandwich board consists of 4 layers:
- Layer 1: thin sheet of cork on the top to avoid any potential ringing in the table
- Layer 2: MDF
- Layer 3: Porous damp layer that will absorb and remove resonance in the table
- Layer 4: MDF
The large top shelf has a thickness of 0.9″ width of 21″ and a length of 27″.
The board has been tested by letting a 9,8g steel ball be dropped 19″ above the sandwich board and compared with a standard MDF board. The result is described in below table:
Test object | Peak value (dB) | Peak average over 3 seconds (dB) |
Sandwich board | 109,7 dB | 73,9 dB |
Standard MDF board | 119,9 dB | 87,1 dB |
From the result one can read that the sandwich board basically damp with 10-13dB compared to a standard MDF board.
The large top tables have a limitation of load as it is placed on top of the corner pillars of the Rack of Silence. The maximum load is 111lbs. If further load is required it is recommended to place the uppermost rack shelf just beneath it and use the apparatus support to assist the support of the table. In this way the maximum load can be increased to 353lbs.
The Isolator support is a foot for Solid Tech Isolators to fit onto the struts of the Rack of Silence. All three isolators, Disc of Silence, Feet of Silence and IsoBlack fit nicely on top of these stands. The Isolator Support are available in Silver/black, Black/Black and Silver/white.
The smallest feet from Solid Tech is made out of anodized aluminum with a brass insert for the rack or loudspeaker spike. The brass insert will avoid any non-desired resonance from the floor to prolong into the rack and equipment. The design is pure and simple to suite all Solid Tech racks and loudspeaker stands.
