Atacama Apollo Duet 5 500mm High Speaker Stands

 

The Apollo Duet 5 is a solid oak speaker stand that takes a different approach to the category by using the same material for both the base panels and the vertical pillars, rather than pairing a wood base with a metal or MDF column. The result is a genuinely seamless all-wood aesthetic that brings a warmth and character to the listening room that conventional stands cannot match. At 500mm in height, the Duet 5 places the tweeter at a position well suited to typical seated listening, and it pairs particularly naturally with the Apollo Podium hi-fi rack range, sharing the same solid oak DNA for a coherent and considered system setup.


Construction uses only European-sourced oak that is FSC, PEFC, and UKTR certified, meaning the material is both responsibly sourced and built to last. Isolation is handled by mini gel pads on the top plate to decouple the speaker from the stand, and adjustable M8 threaded spikes at the base provide a stable, level footing on most floor surfaces. Optional mass loading plates are available for those who want to add further acoustic density, and spike shoes can be added for use on hardwood or delicate floors.


The standard top plate measures 160mm x 220mm, with three additional sizes available separately to suit speakers of different footprints. The Duet 5 is available in Natural Oak and Dark Oak finishes, both handcrafted in the UK. As oak is a natural material, variation in grain, colour, and shading between units is inherent and should be expected, and the finish should not be matched directly against photography, which is taken under controlled studio lighting.

 

What Atacama say about the Apollo Duet Speaker Stands

Elevate your audio experience—and your interior design—with the Apollo Duet series speaker stands. Unlike our conventional stands, the Duet features solid oak for both the base panels and the vertical pillars, offering a seamless, all-wood aesthetic that brings a touch of organic warmth to any listening room.

 

Customisable Support

The Duet series is designed to adapt to your specific setup and acoustic needs: Two Height Options: Choose the ideal elevation for your listening position. Versatile Top Plates: Supplied with a standard 160mm x 220mm (W/D) top pack, three additional sizes are available for separate purchase to ensure a perfect fit for any speaker. Stability & Mass: For those seeking ultimate acoustic density, optional mass loading plates can be fitted (cost option).

 

Precision Isolation

To ensure your music remains untainted by vibration, every pair of Duet stands includes:

  • Mini Isolation Gel Pads: Included as standard for the top plate to decouple and dampen your speakers.
  • M8 (8mm) Threaded Spikes: Adjustable BZP spikes provide a stable, level foundation for the base panels.
  • Floor Protection: For hardwood or delicate surfaces, matching spike shoes are available as an optional add-on.

About Atacama Audio 

Atacama Audio, formerly known as Sambell Engineering Ltd, has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1969 as a sub-contract engineering company specialising in aerospace work. With a strong reputation as a trusted supplier to prestigious companies like Rolls Royce and British Aerospace, Atacama Audio transitioned into manufacturing its own commercial products. In 1987, Atacama Audio developed an innovative HiFi speaker stand, which garnered positive feedback from local retailers. Despite being temporarily put on hold in 1988 due to overwhelming manufacturing demands, the interest in the speaker stands remained. The success continued with various award-winning products, including the Atacama Eris Eco 5, Evoque Eco 60-40, Moseco Speaker Stand, and Apollo Storm 6 modular HiFi rack. As a company committed to innovation, Atacama Audio constantly explores new concepts in HiFi furniture design. Their latest range, the NeXXus series of speaker stands, offers adaptability, upgradability, and a wide range of customisation options. Atacama Audio and Apollo HiFi furniture strives to exceed customer expectations, providing exceptional HiFi speaker stands and AV rack support designs. The company looks forward to introducing even more innovative designs in the future.

 

About Atacama Audio

British maker of hi-fi racks and equipment supports, built from bamboo composite, solid oak and steel.

Atacama is based in Croft, Leicestershire, and its products are made in Great Britain. It builds hi-fi racks and equipment supports from bamboo composite, solid oak, other hardwoods and steel. The ranges include Evoque Eco, Apollo and Elite Eco, in sizes from compact to wide, so there is a rack for a small stack or a full system.

Isolation is built into the rack

The Evoque Eco range uses ASIST damping gaskets as standard, along with a mechanical grounding system and modular isolation components. The SE2 versions add vectored resonance channels and contoured shelving. All of this is aimed at controlling vibration at the shelf, where it affects your sources.

Bamboo and oak, in several finishes

Bamboo panels are used in the Evoque range, and solid oak in the Apollo Storm and Apollo Podium ranges. Finishes include natural oak, dark oak, natural bamboo and dark bamboo, plus a Premium Black Edition, so a rack can be matched to the room it sits in.

Modular racks, with vinyl storage on some

The Apollo and Evoque racks are modular, so you can put together a rack that suits the equipment you own and add to it later. Apollo Storm and Apollo Podium offer vinyl storage, and it is an option on the Elite Reference Series.

Why we stock Atacama

Atacama have taken What Hi-Fi?'s Best Hi-Fi Rack award in multiple years, which is not something that happens by accident in a category where most products look much the same. Support matters more than people expect: a good rack does for your electronics roughly what isolation feet do for a turntable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Start with power (cables & distribution), then upgrade signal cabling, support (Hi-Fi Racks) and isolation accessories. These incremental changes can unlock more from your existing gear. Once you have the basic essentials, then you can look at further upgrades, such as fuses, cartridges, better isolation and more!
Loading...
It is usually best to address obvious issues first, such as unstable equipment placement or poor isolation, before adding more specialised accessories. Call (0208 905 1555) or Email (sales@futureshop.co.uk) one of our consultants to identify an ideal upgrade path for your system.
Loading...
A high-quality hi-fi system is built around a few core elements working together. At its heart is a source, such as a streamer, turntable, CD player, or digital audio player, which provides the music. This signal is then shaped and boosted by amplification, which may include an integrated amplifier, headphone amplifier, or phono stage depending on the system. The sound is delivered through speakers or headphones, which have a major influence on the overall character of what you hear. Supporting components also play an important role. DACs improve digital playback quality, cartridges and phono stages are vital for vinyl, and hi-fi racks, speaker stands, and isolation products help equipment perform consistently. A balanced system does not rely on one standout component, but on how well everything works together.
Loading...
Isolation and support products can make a clearly audible difference, especially in resolving systems. Vibrations from floors, speakers, and even airborne sound can interfere with sensitive components like turntables, DACs, and amplifiers. Proper speaker stands help speakers perform as intended by improving stability, positioning, and bass control. Hi-fi racks and isolation platforms reduce unwanted resonance, helping systems sound cleaner, more focused, and more consistent. While these products may not change the sound as dramatically as speakers or cartridges, they often unlock performance that is already there but being masked by vibration or poor placement.
Loading...
That depends on the starting point of the system. If the fundamentals are weak, such as entry-level speakers, poor setup, or missing core components, starting with the basics usually brings the biggest gains. A well-matched foundation allows later upgrades to shine. If the system is already balanced, upgrading individual components can be very effective. Improvements such as a better cartridge, DAC, phono stage, or isolation can refine detail, clarity, and realism. The most rewarding upgrades tend to be those that address the system’s weakest link rather than focusing on one category alone.
Loading...
In many systems, the biggest improvement comes from upgrading speakers or headphones, as these shape the sound more than any other component. For vinyl systems, the cartridge and phono stage are often the most influential upgrades. In digital systems, a higher-quality DAC or streamer can significantly improve clarity and timing. Beyond electronics, addressing setup, isolation, and support is often overlooked but highly effective. Improving speaker positioning, adding proper stands, or isolating sensitive equipment can deliver noticeable gains without changing core components. The best first upgrade is usually the one that removes the most obvious limitation in the current system.
Loading...
There are lots of components and tweaks that can offer a lift in performance, however, our current favourite is the UK 13A mains fuse from your wall socket to your distribution block or amplifier. This is an often overlooked component in most systems but the improvements far outweigh it's size and cost.
