Salamander Synergy
Equipment Furniture

         Designing an audio/video equipment rack is a difficult task. Several opposing characteristics must be addressed. The myriad of requirements are at odds with one another, forcing the manufacturer  into the realm of compromise. As audiophiles we want rigid support, plenty of open space for cooling, adjustability and easy access. If we are the only one involved in the decision, the choices are many and varied. However, many times the audio or video system occupies a common space in the home, forcing a compromise in performance to satisfy a cosmetic requirement. In other words, you want to display your gear, she wants to hide it. There may be an answer. If you are one of those unfortunate souls, you have no doubt found the road long and hard. Most audio-only equipment racks have been designed with but one purpose in mind, that of supporting the gear. However, many environments require a more finished appearance, forcing many among us to settle for an "entertainment center" purchased from a furniture store - definitely not the ideal solution. Salamander offer the Synergy line of equipment furniture that will likely satisfy all concerned.  
         The Synergy collection is exceptionally wide ranging. Here most anyone can find a rack to suit their needs. A number of styles, sizes, accessories and finish options combine to form literally hundreds of combinations. From a simple rack for a few components, to a large grouping to hold an expansive A/V system, Synergy can accommodate your needs. Video components from direct-view sets to large screen rear projectors and and even plasma's can be accommodated.
          The concept behind Synergy allows an individual to create a rack system that  can be purchased all at once, or piecemeal, a few pieces at a time.
            A myriad of accessories complete the Synergy range. Doors (with either glass or perforated metal inserts), side panels of various materials and finishes, drawers (with or without media dividers) and even interior lighting are all available to customize and compliment your system.
           Synergy system prices range widely due to the vast number of combinations available. That said, a basis audio rack can be had for as little as $250.
            Because the range is so broad, there is no way to even begin to describe the options available in Synergy here. Thus, I invite you to visit the excellent Salamander website for detailed information and descriptions, then call us with your questions or for a price quote.
 

           Archetype is a basic rack design with a practical and utilitarian philosophy. The Archetype system employs threaded steel uprights with large nuts and washers holding solid hardwood shelves in place. The beauty of this design is the ability to locate shelves any where along the uprights. Additional shelves can easily be added later.
