Audiophile Cabinet
“Quieten”2 Door Audiophile Cabinet
We designed this completely customizable Audiophile Cabinet to isolate the various components from both structural and atmospheric borne vibrations sources caused by the individual micro-vibrations emitted from each component which can be transmitted to the skeletal system supporting the components and the vibrations caused by the actual sound within the environment emanating from the speakers at levels exceeding 110 DB. We also designed this Audiophile Cabinet to perform at the levels of some of the finest rack systems while enclosing the components in a beautiful and stylish cabinet built to the client’s specific needs. The wood used in the construction of the piece is from naturally downed maple trees that have been cultivated to impart the distinctive black lines and mottling of naturally spalted maple. The combination of this wood, Richlite Black Diamond panels, the Amorim cork panels, the low VOC coating and adhesives and our electric is provided by photovoltaic cell panels are considered to follow Leed Platinum, Gold, and Silver Certification Guidelines as well as Green Practices, and Best Practices.

The doors are hinged to the exoskeleton with self-closing European 35mm hinges that are isolated from the doors and the exoskeleton with the E.A.R. Isodamp 1/8 sheeting. The shelves consist of customizable isolation and construction systems to include the use of Amorim medium density vibration and sound isolating panels and Richlite ¾” panels that are isolated from the shelf supports with either 1/8” or ¼” thick E.A.R.
