Entreq Athena Bespoke Hi-Fi Rack
Athena is the result of more than 8 years development and tests. Entreq's goal was to develop and create a rack that really handle the special demands arround Hi-Fi and AV placement without any limits. The depth of shelfs are 50 cm and they are available in 3 widths. Single 60 cm, Twin 114 cm and Tripple 168 cm. Other size on special request. All in all this means you can configure in several way and always can find a solution that fit your demand.
The Athena support system is a culmination of Entreq’s knowledge & combined technologies brought together in a support system primarily focused on the control of unwanted physical parasitic energy, high frequency noise & electronic/electrical based field effects. Therefore, by default, it bares little resemblance to almost any other support system currently available. This is simply because it tackles a gamut of problems that traditional Hifi Racks do not take in to consideration. The Athena is therefore far more effective on many levels than any comparably priced solution and can be configured in both performance and price terms to suit each customer’s system requirements, thus ensuring a dramatic reduction in the noise floor on all three fronts.
The following is a basic outline of the main areas that the Entreq Athena rack is looking to address:
- Minimal metal construction to reduce the interaction of different metals and their subsequent uncontrolled field effects on the signals themselves.
- Naturally damped, multiple constrained layered construction – not random bits of wood machined in to the shape of shelves – also a completely non-magnetic material!
- Anti-resonance porting within each shelf.
- Active Silvernet system (entire shelf) to reduce and remove RF/RFI and other noise inducing field effects, lowering the noise floor dramatically.
- Finally a Solid Silver Grounding point, found on Level 2 - 3 shelf construction, allowing the option to efficiently remove all high frequency induced field effects, leading them away to an Entreq grounding Box.
Levels of shelf performance:
- Level 1: 3 constrained layers, 21mm thick
- Level 2: 8 constrained layers, 28mm thick, Silvernet and Silver Ground post
- Level 3: 11 constrained layers, 49mm thick, Silvernet and Silver Ground post
The most important aspect, like all technological advancements and developments, is the final result! In the case of Hifi any advancement should always be in service to the music and the natural rendition of the musicians communicating with you.

"The Athena HiFi Rack is the result of more than 8 years of development .It not only controls unwanted physical or parasitic vibration but also high frequency noise and electronic /Electrical magnetic type field effects . Like all Entreq product the Athena employs a grounding point; this allows the unwanted interference to be removed from the system and directed to one of Entreq's Ground stations . Athena is built on a modular system and can be configured for most electronics." (Read more) Hi-Fi Plus - June 2016

About Entreq
Founded in 1999 in Sweden, Entreq is a pioneering company that stands out in the audio industry. Unlike many others, they develop, manufacture, and produce their own products, allowing them to maintain a distinctive approach that prioritises performance and avoids imitating other brands or technical solutions. With complete control over every aspect of production, including constructive materials, design, and connective processes, Entreq ensures its products are unique and focused on delivering exceptional results.
Entreq's two-decade journey has been marked by a series of innovations that have revolutionised the audio industry. While renowned for their ground boxes, they have also introduced groundbreaking products such as Audio USB cables, Audio network cables, network switches for Audio, and DC power cables. Other manufacturers have widely adopted these innovations, solidifying Entreq's position as a leader in the field.
At the core of Entreq's philosophy is a commitment to performance above all else. Their founder, a music lover since birth, recognised the importance of optimising sound quality and has prioritised this goal since purchasing his first stereo in 1973. Entreq believes that performance should take precedence over fancy packaging or expensive marketing, as the enduring impact on sound quality truly matters.
Entreq's early focus on ground purification, introduced in 2007 with their groundbreaking product Tellus, set them apart from the competition. While initially met with scepticism, customers soon experienced significant improvements in sound quality, leading to widespread recognition and appreciation for Entreq's theories about ground and the zero point. Today, their ground purification products, including Tellus and Silver Tellus, continue to be regarded as benchmarks in the industry.
Functionality and performance are paramount to Entreq. Their dedication to delivering exceptional audio experiences is evident when you unpack their products. With years of experience and knowledge, Entreq remains ahead of the curve in development, constantly pushing boundaries to create even more efficient power purification solutions.
