Bassocontinuo Revolution Line - Maxi Argo X

A visionary project started in 2020: improve a series of objects that have been a benchmark for almost seven years in the world of premium racks.

The evolution of composite materials technology, the creative genius of Christoph Nussbaumer, a team of experienced technicians and engineers and our long-time experience in the fight against vibration, made it possible to create products that were unthinkable until a few years ago.

After almost two years of research and hard work we are proud to present a new benchmark: REVOLUTION X.

We will rack you
Revolution Line becomes Revolution X

We like to explore different worlds and ways of thinking. We think that rooting your work on outdated concepts limits the evolution and prevents new discoveries from being made. Since ever we go against the tide, from the begining we have been innovators and architects of our destiny. Leaving the tracks traced by preconceptions it’s often risky but we love challenges.

Revolution X represents the best we have been able to create until today. A totally inert rack over 114 Hz with elevated muffling peaks already at 7 Hz.

All measured and measurable, all certified by a totally independent analysis laboratory.

Christoph Nussbaumer
Inspired by technology

Austrian-born with roots in a artisans family he graduated at Scuola Politecnica di Design. He collected experiences in international design-agencies in Salzburg, Milan and Boston. In 1997 he founds and directs one of most successful innovation driven italian ID-agencies. His team of designers and engineers wins over 200 international design and industry awards.

Currently he leads a small and flexible, highly specialized design & engineering team, offering innovative design-solutions. His studio has a prestigious client portfolio such as Scarpa, Atomic and Smeg. Specialist in applied ergonomics, sports biomechanics and brand strategy, Christoph’s work is inspired by technology.

Carbon Is Cleared To Take Off
Monocoque technology

Back in 2015 we were the first to introduce on the market a rack in structural carbon: to this day no one was able to imitate it.
In 2022 we launch on the market an object that demolishes and revolutionizes completely everything that shocked us at the time.

The apparent stiffness of the monocoque frame actually hides a flexible soul which makes of AEON X the new benchmark on the market. We use the same monocoque technology of the F1 safety cells. The structural overlap in the lamination process ensures reduction of peripheral torsion, resistance to static load, low frequency vibration damping. Everything is summed up in a performance never measured before in only 1,7 mm of carbon fibre.

Le Mans
A new sophisticated finish

To celebrate 15 years of Bassocontinuo, we created the new edition of theLe Mans finish. A very much appreciated finishing in the years before when the former Revolution 2.0 represented our best of the best in terms of technology applied at rack’s industry.

Le Mans development it’t absolutely easy and the first macroscopic difference is in the shelf structure: into the first edition wooden made, nowadays with a very high percentage of composite materials, to keep unchanged technical and sonic features of the main Racing Black edition (full carbon).

Final result is more than we expected and we proudly affirm that LE MANS is one of our most refined, classy, sofisticated finishing ever made during these hard and long 15 years.

Carbon fibre structure was coupled with a frame wrapped with genuine leather, handmade sewed.

To complete material’s mix, centre panel is fully matte black (0 gloss), fancy matched, for a simply stunning result.

The Only Way To Test
Testing process

As always, once again we are not improvising.

All our racks undergo a precise test protocol (static and dynamic).

Understanding and measuring what happens to our products, allows us to ensure that they really work.

Incremental static load tests and modal analysis conducted with 28 accelerometers (mono-axial and triaxial) provided us data to optimize the densities of damping materials and the laminating processes of the carbon fibre. All the reports can be downloaded directly from our website.

The main purpose of a rack is to isolate the electronics from vibrations that negatively affect their performance: our racks are doing this, Revolution X does it even better!

Carbon look, listening test, anti-resonant paints, “tuned” by ear shelves and other similar sentences, represents garbage that does not belong to us.

You would never drive your super car with the tires of a small car. Place your electronics only on racks that guarantee you measurable performance.

Since modularity is one of the cornerstones on wich we always rely, Argo can be designed according to your needs, developing the structure horizontally or vertically. Depending on the requirements of the audio-video system and the available spaces, one can choose the “big brother” of the line: Maxi Argo X with 3 positions.
