Hailing from Essex in the United Kingdom and part of the Monitor Audio Group, audio furniture specialist Blok has announced its new, customisable Stax 2G hi-fi equipment support system.
The Stax 2G audio furniture has been designed from the ground up to provide excellent support for your electronics, while sporting intelligent design and attractive aesthetics. The Stax 2G racks provide ease of assembly, exceptional finish quality and proven schemes to deal with vibrational distortions.
For starters, the shelves and support columns provide access for mass-filling with deadening materials (such as sand or lead shot) for further resonance and vibrational control. The entire system is customisable for varying platform configurations and shelf heights, in addition to providing a number of finish options. Despite the system’s versatility, Blok has engineered the Stax 2G furniture with hidden fixings in order to maintain the attractive design.
Each shelf is decoupled via a rubber isolation support system which is designed to bear the weight of both the shelf and the component it supports. This effectively isolates each shelf from the overall structure and its accompanying shelves. Overall rack height and levelling adjustments are provided via a bespoke footer which can be terminated with either the use of spikes, for carpeted surfaces, or rubber feet for bare floors.
As far as finishes, Blok provides a number of options to match any living environment. Choices are black glass with high-gloss black supports, natural ash plywood with satin white supports and black ash plywood with natural walnut supports.
Blok states, “The all-new Stax 2G is built upon Monitor Audio Group’s R&D philosophy of maintaining a balance between design and technology [‘Transparent Design Philosophy’]. One is never allowed to overpower the other and both play a vital role in delivering on our promise of musical neutrality and acoustic transparency. The physical designs need to sit comfortably within their environment.”
The new Blok Stax 2G audio furniture system is available in Australia via importer Interdyn’s country-wide specialist dealer network.
