Description
The AG Lifter Apollo Isolation Rack is the statement model which redefines reproduction of music, by implementing mechanical isolation. The elegant and detailed design of an Apollo 4 Shelf rack comprises of 352 components and 15.6 metres of alloy.
The Apollo Isolation Modules incorporate technology from all current isolation products developed by AG Lifter. A larger frame improves scale of soundstage, depth of bass and cohesiveness. The Apollo Rack incorporates all H.P.C brass isolation components from the Dulcet 19 and 20 Isolation feet and brass capping. AG Lifter “H” Frames are standard on all Apollo modules, tensioning the framework for a clearer and highly focused sound. The “H” Frame in addition allows the user to order a top shelf specifically designed to suit Turntables or Electronics. Implementing the Apollo Isolation Rack in your system results in a sense and feeling of upgrades to all your audio components. The racking design is modular allowing the user to layer and then wire-up their audio components making it easier to assemble a finished rack. This modular build concept allows the user to stack modules or place modules next to one another to suit all rooms.
Like the Crescendo Isolation Rack the Apollo Isolation Rack encompasses several layers of Isolation starting from the ground using the Brass HPC (high performance coating) Dulcet 20 (Large) Isolation Feet. Each module is then decoupled utilising SS bearings housed in a billet brass HPC machined cap which is pressed into the vertical extrusion. Each acrylic shelf is upgraded to 20mm thick then isolated using the Brass HPC Dulcet 19 (Small) Isolation Feet. The Brass HPC Dulcet 19 Isolation Feet are adjustable (width and depth) for fine tuning. The Brass HPC componentry delivers greater clarity and a lower noise floor
How does AG Lifter Isolation Technology differ from the rest?
Welcome to a revolutionary way to manage harmonics and retain transient speed, wide dynamic range and dynamics.
The AG Lifter design drains the harmonics from the audio equipment, dampens, then transfers into the live frame dispersing the resonance in “real time” through the AG Lifter proprietary alloy extrusion and pillar profile. These steps are repeated through coupling and decoupling between layers, and finally isolated from your floor with the legendary AG Lifter Dulcet 20 Isolation Foot. The Isolation foot does not require any spiking – so it is floor friendly. The frame is a custom designed aluminium extrusion (ISO 9001) with Brass HPC billet caps, that dampen the extrusion. The custom extrusion is designed by AG Lifter, and carries a patent coveredby our New Zealand Aluminium Supplier. This extrusion is born from extensive research and development testing many different profiles. A proprietary fastener used to apply tension to the extrusion results in a frame dampened, but live enough to provide exciting sound. Frame finishes are available in Black and Silver including capping finish. Custom finishes are available on request.
The Apollo racks sound is described as “tuneful, energetic, lively, melodic, and natural.”
What is the effect of introducing isolation devices to a system?
The addition of an AG Lifter Apollo Rack can have the following effects on a system:
- The sound becomes tonally correct and with increased weight, scale and authority.
- Sound stage height, width and depth is expanded.
- Quieter background, lower noise floor.
- Imaging improves and the sonic presentation ‘snaps’ into focus.
- A deeper, tighter bass performance with increased definition.
- More ‘organic’, or natural textures.
- An increase in detail across all frequencies.
