Manuka MR

Reference HiFi Rack

The Manuka MR Reference HiFi Rack range by Montaudio is a modular, highly sophisticated HiFi rack system, with innovative multi-directional vibration dampening and control structures incorporated within its luxurious Walnut and Birch wood shelves and heavyweight dampened solid stainless-steel legs.

Central to Manuka MR’s outstanding vibration dampening prowess is the novel Montaudio Vibration Isolation Pillar (MVIP) design, where the centre of each shelve features a pattern of proprietary machined stepped-honeycomb pillars in varying heights, giving rise to its namesake. When paired during use with the in-house Tongariro TR or Rangitoto R1 isolation dampeners, vibration emanating from the centre of the equipment meets the Walnut top layer of the MVIP, which are air-gapped from the surrounding top layer of the shelf, forcing the vibration to travel down the pillar into the premium Birch plywood layer and dissipating its energy at the boundary and lower layers. The design is similarly effective at dissipating airborne vibration energy from loud music, isolating the equipment from external disturbances.

Another innovative design is the Montaudio Isolation Pod (MPOD), which sits at the corners of each shelf providing a secure-yet-dampened connection to each foot via its stainless-walnut-stainless steel sandwich design. Featuring an extra-deep crater, it is part of the in-house designed Montaudio Secure Fit (MSEC) system where the elegant elongated tapered spike on each feet mates perfectly with MPOD, forming a highly secure connection between the shelves. The MSEC also features a hidden rotating collar within each leg to enable precision height adjustment for each tapered spike, ensuring a perfect balance of fit and aesthetics.

Fully compatible with MSEC, the proprietary triple elastomer-ringed solid stainless-steel feet ensures a dampened connection to the floor. A choice of 220, 270mm or 320mm leg packs in elegant satin finish are available for shelf height customisation, whilst each luxurious Walnut and Birch wood shelf are generously sized at 650mm by 550mm, with a thickness of 42mm to handle the heaviest of equipment at up to 100kg on each shelf.

Solid, Spacious, Splendid – be awed by its ingenious beauty.
