Strong, stable, and sustainable
External vibrations can affect the sound quality of high-performance audio gear. Pangea Audio's Vulcan Parawood audio rack is built rock-solid to virtually eliminate unwanted vibration. The rack features a striking butcher block parawood construction that shows a gorgeous natural wood grain. The rack can be assembled in minutes without tools. It's also modular, so you can add extra shelves, drawers, and other accessories.
Vibration-dampening construction
The 0.8"-thick shelves are made of solid parawood with a hand-polished clear semi-gloss finish. The steel support tubes bolt together with the shelves to create a strong, ultra-rigid rack. Steel spikes minimize contact with the floor — and its vibrations. They rest in tapered polymer cones that further dampen vibrations between the spikes and the support tubes.
Sustainable parawood
The parawood tree is ideal for supplying hardwood, as it's both plentiful and sustainable. The tree is grown in plantations in Southeast Asia and Central America. Each tree is grown from a previous one that's been felled.
Parawood trees produce sap used to make rubber. After about 20 years, the tree — which can grow to up to 80 feet — dries out. It's then harvested, and another tree planted in its place.
