With its steel backplate and frame and strong cantilever design, Pangea Audio’s Vulcan Premier SE Turntable Wall-mount Shelf provides a rock-solid, reliable wall-mount for your turntable. Strong, Sturdy, Reliable Wall Support for Your TurntableThe floor of your home can act like the head of a drum, vibrating in reaction to footsteps in the room, on the stairs, or even due to heavy traffic and other disturbances outdoors. These floor vibrations can easily find their way to your turntable and into the signal chain as noise and rumble, degrading the quality of your music. Well-made racks and stands are often an excellent solution, but some floors remain problematic, especially with highly sensitive vinyl playback equipment. The solution in these cases is to decouple your turntable from the floor by using a wall-mounted turntable shelf. Unfortunately, affordable wall shelves are difficult to find. And high-end wall shelves won’t install correctly if the mounting holes in the backplate aren’t correctly spaced to fit the standard studs in the US, which are typically spaced 16” on center – and in rare cases spaced 12″ on center. Pangea Audio heard these concerns often enough that the company decided to design and build a wall-mounted shelf of their own that’s perfect for turntables or other audio components. One-Piece Welded Steel Frame and Strong Cantilever ConstructionPangea’s Vulcan Turntable Wall-mount Shelf is strong and sturdy to properly and reliably support your turntable, while also providing superior isolation. The one-piece welded steel frame is exceptionally rigid and will not buckle like some U-shaped mounts we’ve seen that are made by bending, folding, and cutting a length of metal. The strong cantilever construction and steel backplate contribute to the rock-solid construction. The shelf will easily support a turntable weighing up to 20 lb. The backplate slots allow mounting to studs spaced 16” on center with convenient left/right adjustability after mounting. A 1” gap between the shelf and the backplate allows for cable management. Superior IsolationJust decoupling your turntable from floor-borne vibrations goes a long way toward solving resonance problems. But Pangea goes the extra mile with additional isolation features, including a non-resonant MDF shelf insert with height-adjustable spikes for easy leveling. The shelf has a durable black vinyl finish, and the steel frame and backplate are finished in durable black powder coat. This shelf looks so good, that even if your audio system doesn’t suffer from floor problems, you should strongly consider Pangea’s Wall-Mount U-Shaped Shelf as a turntable mounting option that conserves valuable floor or shelving real estate. The shelf dimensions are 18” wide, 15.5” deep, and 19mm thick. Backplate dimensions are 18” wide and 8.5” tall. Assembly is required. All mounting hardware along with clear, concise, illustrated instructions are included. Eco-Friendly PackagingInstead of adding more Styrofoam to the waste stream, your wall shelf is shipped in sturdy eco-friendly, recyclable packaging. No messy, harmful Styrofoam or similar materials are used. Note: For stability and resonance control, the backplate and frame assembly must be mounted to wall studs, masonry, brick/concrete, thick wood paneling, or other strong wall surfaces.
