SAMSON A/V Racks

Introduced in 2002, SAMSON vibration control equipment racks were designed to set a new standard for improving the sound and picture quality of music and home cinema systems.

Despite the natural beauty of our handcrafted Ambrosia Maple shelves, the SAMSON is far more than just a good looking A/V stand. Fully height-adjustable, each 2" or 4" air-dried maple shelf is rigidly locked between custom machined, solid brass nuts that are threaded onto massive, 1-1/4" diameter solid steel uprights, then anchored to the floor via our threaded-on brass footers. This creates the most direct, rigid and resonance-free vibration draining path of any equipment rack available today.

In head-to-head tests, our SAMSON Vibration Control System rack sounds better than the most exotic welded tubing, damped layer composite, or inlaid hardwood equipment stands, even those costing $6000 to $15,000 or more.

Our SAMSON shelves are air-dried maple and our hardware is machined from an optimum-sounding brass alloy, simply because our tests show any other materials would degrade sound. However, we offer a variety of handsome maple and brass finishes to suit a wide range of decors.

Our stock SAMSON shelves are hand finished with a clear satin lacquer that beautifully enhances the striking natural grain character of our air-dried maple. We also offer three made-to-order toned lacquer finishes: Natural Cherry, Deep Rosewood, and Black Satin.

Our stock hardware is handsomely hand polished brass. However, we offer the options of Satin or Semi-Gloss Black, Metallic Silver and other custom powder coat hardware finishes.

The double-width versions of the SAMSON, combined with the half-width shelves we offer, allow for a remarkable range of customized configurations to fit almost any unusual space or system; see a gallery of our customers innovative shelf arrangements here. We also offer custom heights and custom-sized shelves. For advice on these types of made-to-order options, email [email protected] or call (410)685-4618.
