About the Scuttle

The Silent Running Audio Scuttle Rack is a meticulously engineered audio equipment rack that uses a combination of alloy tubing, viscoelastic adhesives, and a black phenolic composite coating to minimize vibrations and resonances. It features a constrained-layer isolation design where the frame and shelves work together as an orchestra to absorb and dissipate energy, preventing resonance from affecting audio components. The rack is available in various sizes, including three-tier and four-tier versions, accommodating from six to eight components. The shelves are made from a dense composite of spherical nanoparticles in a vacuum matrix, providing exceptional energy absorption. The frame's outer layers are machined with a wavy pattern to disrupt vibrational skin effect. Adjustable spikes with decoupling footers isolate the rack from floor-borne energy. Dimensions for common models include 36"H x 47.5"W x 22"D for a three-tier wide six-component rack, with clearance between tiers optimized for air circulation. The rack is hand-assembled with about 40 man-hours and designed for longevity with lifetime warranties on key components. Pricing ranges from to depending on configuration and size. The Scuttle Rack is noted for its ability to improve soundstage and bass performance by isolating components from vibrational interference, making it a sought-after solution for audiophiles seeking affordable perfection in equipment support.
