Product Description
The flagship TAOC CSR Series is the pinnacle of audio rack design. Elegant, yet featuring the most comprehensive damping technologies available.
CSR has adopted an innovative floating configuration in which one shelf is composed of two boards, coupled by four spikes. All the upper shelves on which the equipment is placed are designed not to interfere with any parts as top shelf with cast iron top cap, others with pillars. The specially designed spike insulator is from our long-seller pin plate insulator, which has a track record of more than 20 years in the insulator field, and allows the vibration of the shelf board to escape moderately without transmitting it to other stages, achieving extremely clear sound quality.
Honeycomb core is not used for the fixing board that supports the shelf board. We started our research with a prototype that used honeycomb cores for all boards, and after thorough auditioning and verification, we decided to use honeycomb cores only for the upper shelf board.
Top caps are made of cast iron. While holding the uppermost fixing plate, it works to remove unnecessary vibration by taking advantage of the material characteristics of cast iron.
The bottom shelf, which is the base of the entire rack, has an unprecedented special specification that not only increases the thickness but also has a reinforcing material inside and a custom-made reinforcing steel plate on the bottom to prevent unnecessary resonance of the entire rack at a very high level.
In the case of Japanese houses, we can live our daily lives with deep relaxation because the stones that receive the pillars are surely solid. Similarly, the structure of the Audio Rack also has clearly different measurement results depending on the foundation even if the damping environment can be controlled for each stage.
The total damping configuration offers an environment with precise vibration control from the bottom to the tip of the needle of an turntable system that is often installed at the top stage.
CSR is an overall expression of restraint damping technology with thorough high rigidity and low centre of gravity design. High S/N, which is also expressed as silence, prevents unnecessary vibration amplification taking the entire system to the next level.
CSR pillars feature a unique configuration with cast iron powder filled inside, which is unprecedented in racks around the world.
Applying the friction damping technology of the cast iron powder filled pillars of the TAOC speaker stands, CSR support converts it into thermal energy and converges the vibration propagation without affecting other stages.
The Taoc CSR racks have flat edges and so multiple racks look great side-by-side.
