Solidsteel WS-5 HiFi & High-End Turntable Shelf
The Solidsteel WS-5 HiFi & High-End Turntable Shelf puts an immediate end to any doubts about the practicality and performance abilities of a turntable wall shelf.
Weighing a mighty 13,0 Kg (28 lbs), WS-5 supports even the heftiest ‘tables while providing the reference-caliber isolation crucial to superlative analog performance. Rated to handle up to 60 Kg (130 lbs) with a large shelf (500 x 410 x 19 mm | 19.5″ x 16.25″ x 0.74”), the WS-5 works with almost any ‘table made.
Ridiculously sturdy, WS-5 touts a massive (50 mm | 2″) tall by (25 mm | 1″) thick steel outer frame welded to an extremely thick (150 mm | 6″ tall) back plate. Its (25 mm | 1″) square crossbars are taken directly from Solidsteel’s own audio racks. Ditto the proprietary Duraluminum isolation cones.
Leveling of the MDF shelf (laminate black finish) may be fine-tuned via the four cone cups using an Allen key (always included). The Italian-made WS-5 can even be mounted on brick and concrete provided you employ the proper connectors. Give your turntable the support it needs with WS-5.

Installation Notes
WS-5 is capable of truly staggering weight handling capability only when mounted to a proper structure and with proper hardware. Designed to be mounted on (40 mm | 16″) studs, the WS-5 can also be mounted on virtually any other load bearing structure (brick, concrete, etc) as long as the appropriate connectors are used.
Why the WS-5?
Many audiophiles do not have the possibility of using racks or stands for their components and a wall-mount could be the only way for accommodating the system.
With this product Solidsteel grow their catalogue offering. Yes, its not cheap, compared to other products available on market, but this model is carefully designed for valorizing turntables at their best so that even those audiophile with limited space in their listening rooms may have the chance of placing components on a proper surface.
