MANUKA | MR
Reference HiFi Rack
​
The Manuka MR Reference HiFi Rack range by Montaudio is a modular, highly sophisticated HiFi rack system, with innovative multi-directional vibration dampening and control structures incorporated within its luxurious Walnut and Birch wood shelves and heavyweight dampened solid stainless-steel legs.
Central to Manuka MR’s outstanding vibration dampening prowess is the novel Montaudio Vibration Isolation Pillar (MVIP) design, where the centre of each shelve features a pattern of proprietary machined stepped-honeycomb pillars in varying heights, giving rise to its namesake. When paired during use with the in-house Tongariro TR or Rangitoto R1 isolation dampeners, vibration emanating from the centre of the equipment meets the Walnut top layer of the MVIP, which are air-gapped from the surrounding top layer of the shelf, forcing the vibration to travel down the pillar into the premium Birch plywood layer and dissipating its energy at the boundary and lower layers. The design is similarly effective at dissipating airborne vibration energy from loud music, isolating the equipment from external disturbances.
Another innovative design is the Montaudio Isolation Pod (MPOD), which sits at the corners of each shelf providing a secure-yet-dampened connection to each foot via its stainless-walnut-stainless steel sandwich design. Featuring an extra-deep crater, it is part of the in-house designed Montaudio Secure Fit (MSEC) system where the elegant elongated tapered spike on each feet mates perfectly with MPOD, forming a highly secure connection between the shelves. The MSEC also features a hidden rotating collar within each leg to enable precision height adjustment for each tapered spike, ensuring a perfect balance of fit and aesthetics.
Fully compatible with MSEC, the proprietary triple elastomer-ringed solid stainless-steel feet ensures a dampened connection to the floor. A choice of 170mm, 220mm, 270mm or 320mm leg packs in elegant satin finish are available for shelf height customisation, whilst each luxurious Walnut and Birch wood shelf are generously sized at 650mm by 550mm, with a thickness of 42mm to handle the heaviest of equipment at up to 100kg on each shelf.
Solid, Spacious, Splendid – be awed by its ingenious beauty.

Gy8 - Roy Gregory
"The thick shelves and solid uprights make for incredibly sturdy levels – and I use the term advisedly. Once set up the rack remained utterly stable for the duration of the show as it too, contributed to the overall performance of the system."

"The Manuka rack may be expensive but you most certainly get one of the finest HiFi racks on the market today and easily one of the most beautiful looking racks with the gorgeous Walnut and Birch Wood finish, with clear benefits to the sound through proper isolation of the components."

PRECISION
Manuka | MP
Prestige HiFi Racks
​The Manuka MP Prestige HiFi Rack by Montaudio extends the multi-award-winning Manuka architecture to a broader range of systems, while preserving the rigorous engineering philosophy of the flagship MR Reference series. Built on the heavyweight, dampened solid stainless-steel legs and precision-engineered hardware, it introduces a high-density, full-birch plywood shelf construction in three refined finishes to complement both classic and contemporary interiors.
At its core is the proprietary Montaudio Vibration Isolation Pillar (MVIP) system. The internal geometry of each shelf features the signature machined stepped-honeycomb pillars, designed to control and disperse both equipment-borne and airborne vibrational energy. When paired with the in-house Tongariro TR or Rangitoto R1 isolation dampeners, energy is channelled away from sensitive electronics and dissipated through the multi-layer birch structure, helping create the exceptionally quiet, stable foundation that defines the Montaudio listening experience.
​
The design retains the innovative Montaudio Secure Fit (MSEC) system and Montaudio Isolation Pods (MPOD), ensuring a rigid-yet-dampened interface between shelf, leg, and foot. Confident coupling and precise levelling are achieved via hidden rotating collars within each leg, with a choice of 170 mm, 220 mm, 270 mm or 320 mm leg packs in elegant satin finish for tier height customisation. Each shelf is generously sized at 650 mm by 550 mm, with a substantial 42 mm thickness and a load capacity of up to 100 kg per shelf, offering excellent stability for a wide range of high-end components.
​
Designed with a modular philosophy, Manuka MP is fully compatible and interchangeable with Manuka MR, allowing enthusiasts to create a truly bespoke system by combining any mix of MP and MR tiers to suit their equipment, space, and aesthetic vision. Offered in Midnight Black, Walnut Colour, and Original Birch, the range can be styled from discreet modern minimalism to a warmer, more classic presentation.
Solid, spacious, and beautifully resolved – discover the Manuka experience in a new expression.
