Matrix Audio Tempo DX+ Rack

 

The TEMPO DX RACK is a purpose-built audio rack co-developed by Matrix Audio and Audio Bastion, a specialist in isolation systems for high-end audio. At its structural core is Audio Bastion's proprietary X-shaped isolation architecture, inspired by the bolted I-beam structures used in architectural engineering, which effectively blocks the transmission of vibration through the rack itself. Stainless-steel spikes at the base interface with isolation footers containing a mechanical dispersion structure of steel beads and silicone, distributing equipment weight evenly and providing a stable, grounded foundation for every component placed on it.

Integration with Matrix Audio components has been considered carefully throughout. Newly designed stainless-steel positioning cones sit within the rack's sliding bases and locate precisely into the centre recess of Matrix Audio device feet, removing the need to repeatedly reposition components and ensuring nothing shifts during operation. Beneath each cone, a silicone air-cushion layer adds a second stage of damping, further refining vibration control. The geometry of the central X-shaped structure has also been optimised to widen the spacing between side columns, reduce visual obstruction of front panels, and shorten the overall depth of the rack to minimise desktop footprint.

The TEMPO DX RACK is available in Standard and Large sizes, with the Standard version suited to the Matrix Audio T Series and the Large version (DX+) designed specifically for the N Series, accommodating up to four tiers to house the NT-1, ND-1, NA-1, and SC-1 together. Construction is modular and tool-free, allowing tiers to be added or removed freely as a system grows, making it a practical long-term investment for anyone building around the Matrix Audio ecosystem.

 

Here is what Matrix Audio say about the Tempo DX+ Rack

Matrix Audio has long been dedicated to music streamers, steadfast in its original philosophy of achieving the balance between "Listen & Look". In collaboration with Audio Bastion, a specialist in audio isolation systems for high-end audio, the two brands have jointly announced a custom audio rack perfectly matched to Matrix Audio components. Engineered with a professional isolation structure, the rack effectively shields against various forms of vibration, providing stable support for every audio component and faithfully restoring a pure, transparent sonic character. Together, the two brands redefine a refined lifestyle for audiophiles.


To ensure perfect integration between the rack and the device feet, we newly designed stainless-steel positioning cones incorporated into the rack’s sliding bases. These cones precisely fit into the center recess of the device feet, eliminating the need for repeatedly adjusting the position of the sliding bases while preserving the damping performance of the device feet. Thanks to the accurate coupling of the stainless-steel cones and the device feet, devices on the rack will not move when operating the touchscreen or buttons. Beneath each cone, a silicone air-cushion layer is added to form a dual-stage damping structure, further enhancing vibration control performance.

 

Patented Vibration Absorption

The TEMPO DX RACK adopts Audio Bastion’s proprietary X-shaped patented isolation architecture, inspired by the bolted I-beam structures used in architectural engineering. This design effectively blocks the transmission of structural resonance. The base of the rack features stainless-steel spikes that precisely interface with isolation footers in contact with the tabletop. Inside the footers, a mechanical dispersion structure composed of steel beads and silicone evenly distributes the weight of the equipment across the surface, ensuring a solid and stable foundation for every component placed on the rack.

 

Optimized Space Usage

We have optimized the angle of the central X-shaped structure in the TEMPO DX RACK, widening the lateral spacing between the side columns to reduce visual obstruction of the device front panels. The overall depth of the rack has also been shortened to minimize desktop footprint, leaving more front clearance for operation. The result is significantly improved space efficiency, a cleaner and more organized setup, and a more comfortable and intuitive user experience.

 

Flexible Expansion

Designed with a tool-free, modular structure, the TEMPO DX RACK allows users to freely add or remove tiers according to the number of components in their system. When paired with the Matrix Audio N Series, it offers flexible expansion of up to four levels - perfectly accommodating the complete flagship combination of NT-1, ND-1, NA-1 and SC-1.

 

A Perfect Match Design

The TEMPO DX RACK is available in two sizes: Standard and Large, catering to different system configurations. The Standard version is tailored for the Matrix Audio T Series, including the TT-1, TS-1, and subsequent models. The Large version (DX+) is purpose-built for the N Series, ensuring seamless compatibility with the NT-1, ND-1, NA-1, SC-1 and future models. Each component finds its precisely matched counterpart, balancing functional performance with aesthetic harmony. In every detail, a unified audiovisual experience is achieved.
