Artesania Audio Exoteryc Rack

Artesania Audio

Exoteryc Rack

Introduced 2014$6,400 MSRP

The Exoteryc is Artesania Audio's flagship rack, built as a "rack suspended within a rack": a heavy external structure of four high-density 60mm tubes filled with crushed marble surrounds a lighter internal frame of stainless-steel rods, decoupled from the outer structure via nylon/Teflon cylinders, polyamide dampers, and a neoprene ring, giving what Artesania calls "triple decoupling." Movable stainless-steel linear arms with adjustable spikes replace fixed shelves, letting each component's support height and position be set independently, and the rack was originally named "Esoteric" before being renamed Exoteryc after a naming conflict with the Japanese Esoteric brand.
