Atacama Evoque Eco 65/60 SE2 Reference Hi-Fi Stand

The Atacama Evoque Eco 65-60 SE2 Reference Series Hi-Fi stands are the flagship of the range. They are an upgrade on the award-winning standard Evoque range and the Evoque Eco Special edition. Advancements in deflection channel and leg design make this series the best yet. The reference series also features stainless steel mechanically tuned spikes, as well as a 50% increase in weight capacity. Moreover, they are wider and can support larger components. Finally, The Eco 65-60 has a shelf size of 500mm x 600mm.

High density bamboo shelving

High-density carbonized bamboo is used by the Atacama Evoque Eco 65-60 SE2 Reference Series stands. This material has good sonic performance. This includes excellent vibration absorption and resonance-controlling properties. Bamboo has a better performance than traditional hardwood or veneered supports, due to its micro-growth pore structure. Notably, the production process has been optimized to provide the best possible acoustic benefits.

A.S.I.S.T dampening gaskets

Each module in the Atacama Evoque Eco 65-60 SE2 Reference Series stands has Atacama Sonic Isolation System Technology (A.S.I.S.T) incorporated. Two dampening gaskets have been placed in each leg. They isolate the aluminum components from the outer leg collar. As a result “ringing” is reduced. Additionally, the top and lower caps are connected with internal studs. These are designed to dissipate any resonances to the ground. Next, the legs are 20mm longer than the standard Evoque. This lowers the resonant frequency.

Leg Tuning Counterweights and A.V.R.D.C Advanced Vectored Resonance Deflection Channels

Another upgrade is the fully adjustable nickel-plated bronze frustum counterweights that are used by the internal leg studs. As a result, the module is designed to tune out the particular resonant frequency of the supported component. Next, each Atacama Evoque Eco 65-60 SE2 Reference Series stand features A.V.R.D.C Advanced Vectored Resonance Deflection Channels. These are formed in a three-dimensional curved geometric pattern that is carved into the underside of the bamboo shelf. The pattern is designed to neutralize high-frequency harmonic energy by directing it into the supporting legs.

Advanced stainless steel Isolation Coned Spikes

The spikes have been upgraded with the Atacama Evoque Eco 65-60 SE2 Reference Series stands. As more resonant energy is reaching the feet the spike interface has been enlarged. The new spikes are longer and shaped to maximize the energy transfer from each module. Moreover, the spikes are now made of stainless steel.

Side edge contoured bamboo panels

The side contours of the Atacama Evoque Eco 65-60 SE2 Reference Series stands have been curved. In this way, any standing waves are designed to be directed towards the A.V.R.D.C channels. This helps with the efficiency of each shelf. Standing waves bounce off the edge of a surface. On doing so they changed phase. The following wave will tend to reinforce the previous wave increasing the amplitude. Curving the edges breaks up the wave front.

Why use a Hi-Fi stand?

High-quality stands, such as the Atacama Evoque Eco 65-60 SE2 Reference Series, are more than just beautiful pieces of furniture. They will show off your audio equipment to its best advantage. Moreover, stands provide proper isolation between components so that there is no mutual interference. Additionally, amplifiers emit mechanical vibration from the transformers, this is now dissipated to the ground. Another advantage is the isolation of any turntable that is placed on the stand. This reduces the chance of any feedback issues. Finally, an important issue is ventilation. Large amplifiers generate a lot of heat and this can shorten the life of the internal components. Especially electrolytic capacitors. Lastly is component weight, normal furniture will tend to buckle under the weight of large audio equipment.
