It bears no real resemblance to any other equipment stands that are out there in the market, even though there are ones that may visually look a little similar! As well as housing your hi-fi equipment it has been designed to tackle a range of specific problems no other equipment stand manufacturer takes into account.

The end result is a system that performs on a much higher level, with a dramatically lower noise floor and all of the benefits that brings to the presentation, such as increased resolution, more space and texture with a much more natural rendition of the musicians you are listening to!

It is these specific areas that the Athena is looking to address:

Minimal metal construction to reduce the interaction of different metals and their subsequent uncontrolled field effects on the signals themselves.
Naturally damped, multiple constrained layered construction – not random bits of wood machined in to the shape of shelves –  also a completely non-magnetic material!

Anti-resonance porting within each shelf.
Active Silvernet system (entire shelf) to reduce and remove RF/RFI and other noise inducing field effects, lowering the noise floor dramatically.

Finally a Solid Silver Grounding point, found on Level 2 – 3-shelf construction, allowing the option to efficiently remove all high frequency induced field effects, leading them away to an Entreq grounding Box. A Ground Box or Ground Cables is not included with the Athena.

There 3 different levels of shelf performance available with the Athena

Level 1 = 3 constrained layers, 21 mm thick
Level 2 = 8 constrained layers, 28mm thick, Silvernet and Silver Ground post
Level 3 = 11 constrained layers, 49mm thick, Silvernet and Silver Ground post

All of the shelves are 50 cm deep and are available in 3 different widths, 60 cm (single), 114 cm (double) and 168 cm (triple), a custom Athena can be specified as a bespoke order.

The Athena comes in an oak finish, the 3 different shelves do offer different levels of performance, please do not assume this is just another equipment stand, the upgrade in performance on offer (especially with level 2 and 3) is bigger in some system than changing amplifiers or source components.

Leg Heights

Standard leg heights are 15 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm and 35 cm

Bespoke leg heights can be ordered upon request.

Special Order – please get in touch for lead times.

To order a rack select rack width, shelf thickness and shelf type via the drop down boxes and add to the basket one shelf at a time. Please add a note to the order confirming legs heights.
