How to Build Your Own Stax 2G Hi-Fi Stand
You can choose from our pre-configured stand collections or build your own to suit your needs.
The recommended maximum height is 1100 mm (43 5/16”).
If you’re adding to an existing Stax 2G Hi-Fi stand, just select the shelves you need.
The Perfect Platform to Perform From
Stax 2G brings modernist design sensibilities to the world of high-fidelity furniture. Its smartly expressed acoustic details are expertly engineered into a clean and appealingly simple product aesthetic designed to stand the test of time in any home.
Modernist Design Sensibilities
Stax 2G is configurable in multiple shelf heights and is available in a curated selection of contemporary shelf and support finishes. Whatever equipment graces its shelves, the Stax 2G high-fidelity rack offers acoustic superiority that ensures it provides your carefully selected electronics and turntable with the best possible platform to perform from.
Highly Versatile, High-Fidelity Furniture
Stax 2G provides the ideal platform for any component to perform at its best. Integrated acoustic properties are built in and the choice of multiple contemporary finishes allow integration into any interior.
“With Stax 2G we’ve built in smart ways to deliver shelf isolation and acoustic properties within the design. This maximises the performance properties of the shelves and how they integrate as a complete acoustic system. Stax 2G ensures that whatever system that graces its shelves, those components perform at their very optimum.”
Michael Hedges - Technical Director
Visually Superior, Structurally Strong
No matter what equipment is placed on Stax 2G, and whatever finish is selected, its underlying quality and attention to detail offers un-rivalled levels of support and helps drive your system towards the Holy Grail of truly exceptional high-fidelity performance.
Superior Modern Design
Stax 2G is available with a choice of two types of shelves. Customers can choose between a sleek tempered glass shelf, which is finished in black, or a modern plywood shelf, which is available in a choice of natural or black ash veneers.
Each of the shelves has been chosen for their load strength and inherently positive, acoustic properties, along with their physical design aesthetics – so that whatever electronics or source equipment is placed on them, they’ll remain completely rigid.
“Designed and engineered at our headquarters in Rayleigh Essex, UK, Stax 2G reinvigorates the modernist appeal of Stax in a manner that’s completely sympathetic to the original design. It ensures that we retain what makes Stax so unique and important, both as a vital tool for driving high-fidelity performance, and as beautiful furniture.”
Charles Minett - Product Design Director
Design is in the Details
Blok’s unique visual aesthetic is achieved through its modernist design approach, enhanced further by the clever way it is assembled to ensure that there are no visible fixings.
Bespoke Tools
Quick and simple assembly with unique, cleverly designed tools supplied in the box.
To achieve this, the Blok product design team have not only carefully designed in invisible fixings that allow the assembly of Blok shelves to be an extremely quick and intuitive, but the very tools themselves have been designed and crafted by them, to ensure the matter of assembly is as enjoyable and satisfying as the final Blok Hi-Fi rack itself.
Achieving a Perfectly Level Base is Vitally Important for High-Fidelity Furniture
Once the Stax 2G hi-fi rack has been fully built and placed in its final position, the intuitive adjustment tool can be positioned over the foot assembly and rotated to increase or decrease the height of the foot. This allows the user to adjust, quickly, easily and with the minimum of effort, Stax 2G so that the entire rack can be made perfectly level.
The foot assembly also features spikes and cleverly integrated rubber feet, so that the user can select the most appropriate foot for the flooring they have at home.
Underlying Quality and Attention to Detail
No matter what equipment is placed on Stax 2G, and whatever finish is selected, its underlying quality and attention to detail offers un-rivalled levels of support and helps drive your system towards the Holy Grail of truly exceptional high-fidelity performance.
Acoustic Performance Built Into the Heart of the Design
Rubber bungs are cleverly concealed within the design of the supports that carry the weight of the shelves and the equipment that sits on them. These small, flush-fitting bungs can be removed to allow the supports to be mass-loaded with inert acoustic material. The supports house various volumes for acoustically inert material, between one and five litres.
Scientifically Selected to Reduce Resonances and Increase Isolation
Silicone isolation pads are integrated between each shelf and into the base of the support. The density of these pads has been scientifically specified to a particular shore hardness by Monitor Audio Group’s acoustic engineers and tested over many, many iterations. These carefully selected silicone isolation pads ensure that shelf absorption works at its most optimum, reducing resonances and vibration being carried through the shelves, so that all you’ll hear is the high-fidelity sound of your system components.
