AUDIO ISOLATION SPECIALISTMORE MUSIC, LESS NOISE
|
Why is a Specialist Hi Fi Rack essential to your Audio System?
Audio equipment, create resonances ranging from low frequencies to ultra-high frequencies, this resonance is transferred through your conventional audio rack and picked up by other associated pieces of audio equipment, then micro phonically repeated, causing smear and noise. Other effects on your rack, are power cords and signal cabling in contact with other parts of your listening room i.e. floor, walls etc. These are transmitted through the audio components(s) again. Energy in the listening/music room is transmitted through your racking system.
When all the above parameters are addressed, the sound of your audio system, changes completely.
When all the above parameters are addressed, the sound of your audio system, changes completely.
How do we overcome these problems?
The obvious answer is trying to remove or mitigate resonance. Competitors’ rack designs, store residual energy within the structure of the rack. These designs highlight a slow and sluggish sound, with a lost in definition and shape in notes.
AG Lifter have overcome, the problem of stored energy by releasing energy in REAL TIME utilising Modular Racking Systems. The innovative multi-substrate design in a tuned structure, releasing energy immediately now eliminates these former resonance issues, producing scale, dynamics, speed and attack, replicating real live music.
AG Lifter address resonance management further with the Hercules Cable Lifters, Orpheus Loudspeaker Footers and Supports.
AG Lifter Technology
AG Lifter is proudly made in New Zealand from the highest quality materials. With over 40 years of automation, industrial engineering experience. AG Lifter designs incorporate materials and engineering processes at the forefront of current industrial technology, achieving results and performance that has never been experienced in the Audio World. The AG Lifter products have been modestly introduced into the market, but have undergone serious testing and measuring by state-of-the-art Equipment utilised in industrial applications.

20mm Acrylic Shelves custom cut from Acrylic sheets
The shelves are made out of acrylic, a stable man-made material – every sheet is the same for consistency. What appears a simple material has been reengineered and CNC cut in a unique AG Lifter design to be captive and finished to a high-quality finish. The black acrylic undergoes another process that is just as expensive, as the material and CNC cutting to give it a finish like no other. The finish on the black acrylic shelf resembles a Steinway Piano.

AGL Dulcet Dampening Foot – a 5-piece component
The AG Lifter Dulcet 19 Dampening Foot starts with the bearing of your choice, to attract resonance from a very small pressure point. The upper section of the dampening component is made from high quality billet alloy or brass. Brass because of its content of copper is very expensive material – raw, before you even start CNC machining and electroplating it. The aluminium is extruded in NZ – with NO recycled elements, using pure aluminium ore (of the highest-grade ISO 9001).
The next discreet layer of the dampener is moulded hybrid nitrile. AG Lifter owns the dyes, composition, and curing parameters to create the finished result.
The base is CNC machined and threaded to allow a tensioning screw which also attaches the dulcet to the rack. A sliding nut component attaches the foot in 2 channels to the frame profile.

The Frame
The specific profiles and design of the frame are the intellectual property of AG Lifter. AG Lifter had undergone extensive development to create the desired profiles for the ultimate audio performance. The Frame is powder coated and personalised to a very high-quality finish.
The criteria the AG Lifter “H” Frame is to channel resonance through a tuned and tensioned exoskeleton, to meet the AG Lifter Finned pillar – which releases energy in real time. No part of the AG Lifter Rack is welded – relying on a 4-piece beam lock system, at every connection point.
The Apollo XL model, may have additional SS internal tubes to aid extreme equipment loads. In addition, the Apollo XL comes standard with pillar supports for main front and rear rails. The Crescendo models of racks do not require the addition of these products.
Pillar capping in Alloy or Brass, enables a modular design for stacking modules using a Stainless-Steel bearing interface for decoupling. Allowing the user to configure their racking to suit current and future upgrades. After the finished modules are stacked or used as an amp stand, the Dulcet 20, 5-piece dampening device mitigates energy from the room.
A 4 Shelf Rack incorporates 352 components; the Apollo XL 4 Shelf Racks have a further 18x components.

Within Simplicity lies Complicity
AG Lifter Modular Racking unique designs are based on the philosophy of a live frame only – never storing energy. The result is dynamic, fast, focused music presentation with a real-life scale and sound stage. Shapes of individual notes are resolved and correct.
