Description
What our philosophy means is implementing the Crescendo Isolation Rack will reduce harmonics which cause distortion and harsh edges to your music. Providing an open depth of field in the sound stage with an extended deep bass response. Instruments and vocals will reveal more textures and dynamics compared to standard racking systems or furniture. The elegant and detailed design of an Crescendo 4 Shelf rack comprises of 287 components and over 11.4 metres of alloy.
The Crescendo Isolation Modules incorporates technology from the development of all products by AG Lifter. Implementing the Crescendo Isolation Rack will result in a feeling you’ve upgraded all your audio components. The racking design is modular, allowing the user to layer and then wire-up audio components making it easier to assemble. This modular concept allows the user to stack or place modules next to one another to suit all rooms.
The Crescendo Isolation Rack encompasses several layers of Isolation starting from the ground using the Dulcet 20 (Large) Isolation Feet, each module is then decoupled utilising SS bearings sitting in a billet CNC machined cap pressed into vertical custom extrusions. Each acrylic shelf is then isolated using the Dulcet 19 (Small) Isolation Feet. The Dulcet 19 Isolation Feet are adjustable (width and depth) for fine tuning.
The frame is a custom designed aluminium extrusion (ISO 9001) with aluminium billet caps, that dampen the extrusion. The custom extrusion is designed by AG Lifter, and carries a patent covered by our New Zealand Aluminium Supplier. The end extrusion is born from extensive research and development, using different profiles. A proprietary fastener used to further 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 complimentary capping finishes.
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.
