ExtrEma x-SEriES

Almost a year after Melbourne distributor Class-A Audio announced that it had secured the distribution rights for the extensive range of equipment racks from US company Extrema, it has announced the arrival of Extrema’s latest X-Series of modular racking systems, which extends the four systems already in the range: Classic, Radiance, Profile, and Evolution.

The Extrema Evo X-14 modular racks use interchangeable, stackable shelves, and multiple-height risers in order to be able to accommodate audio components of any height, and look good even when stacked with components of different heights. The Extrema X system uses precision-machined iron frame pieces that are 10mm thick, which Extrema says can support up to 80kg on each racking level. Spikes are provided to ensure vibration isolation between individual modules as well as from the stand itself, and there’s a soft moulded adjustable suspension for holding equipment. Should you prefer a more traditional support, you can also order shelves in a woodgrain finish, or in matte black or white, or in any colour high gloss finish.

‘ The new evolution series by Extrema gives a reassuring air of professionalism and reliability befitting the objects they’re designed to accommodate,’ said Kevin Yu, of Class-A Audio. ‘ Look carefully and you’ll see how the aesthetic of the functional choices Extrema has made during the design process, such as the harmony of the geometrical relationships, the chromatic contrast between the surfaces and the overall finish of all the parts that go into making the rack ensure that this is not only a rack that will improve the sound, but also the décor of your room.’ For more information, contact Class A Audio on (03) 9878 7745 or visit the website at www.classaaudio.com.au
