An optimum sound reproduction already starts at the base!
On strength of decade-long experiences with sounding bodies the Hi-Fi rack series MELANGE was developed. By the use of high-tech metal foam this series guarantees a phenomenal natural sound reproduction.
Because of the absolutely resonance-neutral stand the high end components can develop their full sound performance. It is an incomparable musical experience. The secret of an optimum sound reproduction is a resonance-neutral stand.
The answer can be found in the physics.
Hi-Fi systems create natural vibrations which result in resonances. When inapplicable utility spaces are used the resonances are transferred to other components and the sound gets flawed.
By means of resonance absorbing materials all vibrations are reduced so that resonances cannot even arise. The metal foam KWO are using fulfils this property excellently. The result is a natural and optimal sound reproduction.

The rack is of modular design and consists of:
- Triangular frame, flat steel sections filled with quartz sand
- Solid beech wood columns, 60 mm diameter, can be screwed into each other
- MDF shelves with metal foam filling, approx. 35 mm thick
- bottom side of shelves with three height adjustable spikes each
- spirit level bubble mounted flush in the centre for an accurate alignment of the shelves
- Stainless steel floor spikes, height adjustable by means of fine thread
- Stainless steel end covers, polished

Technical specifications:
For the first time this design uses metal foams as resonance-absorbing materials as they are also known from the aerospace industry. These metal foams are very light and extremely stable. Their porous structure assimilates vibrations very well and absorbs them excellently so that resonances cannot even arise. This effect is further increased by special stainless steel pedestals with metal foam filling. These pedestals are offered as accessories in two sizes.

Reviews about the MELANGE HiFi-Rack system:
'With buying a MELANGE hi-fi rack you can't do anything wrong. Far from it! The sound is much more sophisticated and richer in detail. The instruments sound very naturally and you can hear of which material they are made. The Hi-Fi rack MELANGE reveals a bad recording quality mercilessly. A poor recording remains bad, but good reordings wow you. After the third day the rack had twisted me around it's finger. The MELANGE rack is a magic rack and I can recommend it from the bottom of my heart.' (Uwe Brauner, Kassel, 09/2008)
