"Like I'm Listening to a Whole New System" - Rick Coste, "The Joy of Listening to Vinyl"
Strong, Sturdy Wall-Mount Support for Turntables Weighing Up to 40 Pounds
Pangea Audio knew their turntable wall mount shelf would be a big hit. But they never imagined it would sell out so quickly.
Instead of ordering a duplicate run of the original model with all the same parts and pieces, Pangea decided to make the most of the opportunity by tweaking the design for a higher weight capacity. The result is the Pangea Audio Turntable Wall Mounted Premier SE Shelf MKII, which carries forward all the great features as before. But now it boasts an L-shaped welded steel frame that supports up to 40 pounds, compared to 25 pounds for the original model.*
"Improved the Sound by At Least 50 Percent"
In his "Joy of Listening to Vinyl" YouTube review, Rick Coste calls the Pangea wall shelf "the one purchase I made for my system that improved the sound by at least 50 percent… My soundstage widened… I could hear the instruments better, and the bass response was way better than I remembered it being…"
Rick concludes, "And a result, the sound is incredible. I feel like I'm listening to a whole new system. And it's all because of this one purchase of the Pangea Audio wall shelf… For me, this shelf is worth every penny."
Why You May Need to Wall-Mount Your Turntable
The floor of your home can act like the head of a drum, vibrating in reaction to footsteps in the room, on the stairs, or even due to heavy traffic and other disturbances outdoors. These floor vibrations can easily find their way to your turntable and into the signal chain as noise and rumble, degrading the quality of your music. Well-made racks and stands are often an excellent solution, but some floors remain problematic, especially with highly sensitive vinyl playback equipment.
The solution in these cases is to decouple your turntable from the floor by using a wall-mounted turntable shelf. Unfortunately, affordable wall shelves are difficult to find. And high-end wall shelves won't install correctly if the mounting holes in the backplate aren't correctly spaced to fit the standard studs in the US, which are typically spaced 16” on center – and in rare cases spaced 12" on center.
Pangea Audio heard these concerns often enough that the company decided to design and build a wall-mounted shelf of their own that's perfect for turntables or other audio components.
One-Piece Welded Steel Frame and Strong Cantilever Construction
Pangea Audio's Turntable Wall Mounted Premier SE Shelf MKII is strong and sturdy to properly and reliably support your turntable, while also providing superior isolation. The one-piece, L-shaped welded steel frame is exceptionally rigid and will not buckle like some U-shaped mounts we've seen that are made by bending, folding, and cutting a length of metal. The strong cantilever construction and steel backplate contribute to the rock-solid construction.
The shelf will support a turntable or other audio component weighing up to 40 pounds.* The backplate slots allow mounting to studs spaced 16” on center with convenient left/right adjustability after mounting. A 1” gap between the shelf and the backplate allows for cable management.
Superior Isolation
Just decoupling your turntable from floor-borne vibrations goes a long way toward solving resonance problems. But Pangea goes the extra mile with additional isolation features, including a non-resonant MDF shelf insert with height-adjustable spikes for easy leveling. The shelf has a durable black vinyl finish, and the steel frame and backplate are finished in durable black powder coat. This shelf looks so good, that even if your audio system doesn't suffer from floor problems, you should strongly consider Pangea's Turntable Wall Mounted Premier SE Shelf MKII as a turntable mounting option that conserves valuable floor or shelving real estate.
The shelf dimensions are 18” wide, 15.5” deep, and 19mm thick. Backplate dimensions are 18” wide and 8.5” tall. Assembly is required. All mounting hardware along with clear, concise, illustrated instructions are included.
For stability and resonance control, the backplate and frame assembly must be mounted to wall studs, masonry, brick/concrete, thick wood paneling, or other strong wall surfaces. (See note, below.*)
Eco-Friendly Packaging
Instead of adding more Styrofoam to the waste stream, your wall shelf is shipped in sturdy eco-friendly, recyclable packaging. No messy, harmful Styrofoam or similar materials are used.
*Note: For drywall mounting, the shelf is rated up to 40 lb. installed with a minimum of two supplied screws into wood studs plus at least two additional drywall anchors, also supplied. For best results, install with two screws into two wood studs.
