Solidsteel S3-2 Two-Shelf Audio Rack - Black

Dynaminte double-Decker Rack

Sometimes two shelves are all you need. But they can't just be any shelves. Whether you want them to support a big honking amp plus another piece of gear, or if you've got some kind of compact system tailor made for a dynamite double-decker rack, you need the Solidsteel S3-2 to support your components in a solid, performance-enhancing style.

A good equipment rack is as essential as good cables, a powerful amplifier, and a revealing turntable. Because no matter how much you spend on your gear, you're wasting your money if your gear isn't resting on a support mechanism that provides isolation, rock-solid stability, and vibration-free performance.

Advanced Design and Enhancements

The Solidsteel S3-2 two-shelf rack boasts the same advanced design as the larger S3 Series racks. It provides a nice step up from S2 Series racks, thanks to S3 Series enhancements. These include support tubes containing damping material for added resonance control plus an increase in weight capacity of 132 lb. per shelf versus 110 lb. per shelf for S2 Series racks.

The space between shelves of the S3-2 is a generous 12.8". If you're a vinyl lover, you will appreciate the 23" width and 16.9" depth of the top platform for your turntable. The overall rack height of 18.7". The usable shelf width of the bottom shelf is 19.7" with a usable depth of 16.9". The assembled rack weighs 33 lb.

New S3 Series Enhancements

The new S3 Series draws inspiration from decades of production of the popular Series 3, Series 5, and Series 6 racks. For over twenty years, Solidsteel engineers have studied these series in terms of materials and overall design with results culminating in the latest and greatest S3 racks. These new racks also draw upon technology developed for Solidsteel's flagship Hyperspike product line.

Solid Shelving and 'Filled' Aluminum Supports

A good equipment rack is as essential as good cables, a powerful amplifier, and a revealing turntable. Because no matter how much you spend on your gear, you're wasting your money if your gear isn't resting on a support mechanism that provides isolation, rock-solid stability, and vibration-free performance.

The S3-2 boasts rigid MDF shelves and new, non-welded aluminum tubular supports. Aluminum is lighter than steel, ridiculously strong, non-magnetic, and an excellent damping material. By eliminating welding from the equation, S2 racks eliminate resonances that develop in hollow welded posts. Unwanted energy and vibrations cannot seep into your rack.

And speaking of damping, the aluminum tubular supports are filled with damping material to reduce resonance and room vibrations that can compromise the quality of music reproduction. Solidsteel's adjustable stainless steel spike feet are included for another degree of isolation and to provide convenient leveling. Protective floor discs are also included.

Elegant Italian Design

Solidsteel S3 Series audio racks are designed in Italy and feature elegant Italian design with clean lines that blend in with any aesthetic. Say goodbye to clunky looking racks and say "ciao" to unstinting stability and precise imaging for new levels of audiophile fulfillment.
