Glossary

Set

The number of individual items in the package.

Items such as hi-fi cabinets and centre speaker stands (see Type) are by definition only sold individually. But traditional racks for acoustics can be supplied both one by one and in pairs ; the second option is convenient, given that paired speakers are very common in modern speakers (in addition to stereo systems, these are also front and rear satellites in 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound sets). For similar reasons, some models of Hi-Fi stands may also be sold in pairs.

Occasionally, more extensive equipment is also found — for example, concert sets of six racks.

Maximum load

The largest weight of equipment that can be placed on a given piece of furniture.

It is worth considering that in multi-tiered Hi-Fi cabinets (see "Type") the allowable weight may be indicated in different ways. If this paragraph indicates one number without additional clarifications, then it should be considered as the maximum load on the entire structure, which is divided “equally” between the shelves. For example, a cabinet with a 30 kg limit and three shelves will have a 10 kg limit per shelf. In some models, it may be specified that we are talking about the load on each individual shelf. Sometimes in such cases the load is distributed unevenly — most often the lowest tier is the most “hardy”, and it is its characteristics that are indicated as the main ones. Similar points in our catalog are specified in the notes.

Height

General dimensions of the Hi-Fi pedestal (see "Type") in width and depth.

Recall that the depth in this case is the size from the front to the rear edge of the structure. In general, information about the dimensions is needed primarily in order to assess how much space you need to prepare for placing the cabinet and where it is better to put it. In addition, the overall width and depth determine how much shelf space will actually be available for mounting various equipment. However, the dimensions of this space are often specified separately in the characteristics — as the effective width and depth (see above); and when evaluating compatibility with various devices, it is best to use specialized dimensions rather than general dimensions. If the effective width and depth are not indicated in the specifications, it is worth proceeding from the fact that they are somewhere 150–200 mm smaller than the corresponding overall dimensions, and take the appropriate margin when selecting a cabinet for the existing components.

Weight

Total weight of the stand; in paired sets, it is indicated for each item separately.

It is widely believed among audiophiles that the heavier the design, the less “ringing” it is, the lower the likelihood of extraneous vibrations and the better the stand performs its functions. However, this is only partially true: manufacturers often use various design tricks (for example, an internal frame) to reduce weight without sacrificing quality.
