Supernova Line

A new level of Refinement and Control

Scroll down arrow

The Supernova Collection represents the new evolution of Essenza by Bassocontinuo’s unwavering pursuit of perfection in the production of accessible rack systems.
Unveiled at HIGH END Vienna 2026, it introduces a new, visually striking finish, along with a selection of technical options, engineered for advanced mechanical decoupling.

A new level of refinement and control, further enhancing Essenza’s design language.

NEW IN: THE CONCEPT

 

Starting from the Vanguard Line, Supernova introduces a new technical concept that further elevates its aesthetic and performance to a new standard.
Each product can be equipped with floating, rubber-isolated panels aimed at decoupling unwanted vibrations, while preserving mechanical purity. This approach not only allows to the HiFi system to operate with greater precision and clarity, but also enhances its technical, innovative character.
Despite their incredible contribution to the overall performance, the floating panels remain an optional element of the design: they can be integrated (across all shelves or limited to selected levels only), omitted, or even purchased aftermarket.

The decoupling materials are supplied in two different densities. According to the weight of the components being supported, the red rubber is designed for loads up to 20 kg, while the yellow rubber is ideal for higher weights.

FUNCTIONAL BEAUTY

 

Minimal design. High-performance. But, most importantly, entry-level price tag.
A refined rack collection, available in a new, unconventional finish waiting to be discovered – where geometric lines are perfectly combined with a truly singular shelves’s surface.

Details

High-quality entry-level audio rack born from the combination of carefully selected materials: ennobled HDC wood shelves, solid steel structure, and different rubber-like materials. Modular design that is easily expandable and upgradable.

  • Structure

    HDC shelves with solid external structure, connected to the shelves via steel brackets. Each rack is equipped with 4 harmonic damping resonators (positioned beneath the top shelf), solid steel height adjustable spikes and real decoupling discs as is our upperclass product.

  • Useful heights between shelves

    Floor – Bottom: 110 mm
    Bottom – Mid (without floating panels): 270 mm
    Bottom – Mid (with floating panels): 225 mm
    Mid – Top (without floating panels): 230 mm
    Mid – Top (with floating panels): 185 mm

  • Rack's overall height

    Power amp stand (without floating panels): 130 mm
    Power amp stand (with floating panels): 175 mm
    Tower rack – 2 shelves (without floating panels): 435 mm
    Tower rack – 2 shelves (with floating panels): 480 mm
    Tower rack – 3 shelves (without floating panels): 695 mm
    Tower rack – 3 shelves (with floating panels): 740 mm

  • Shelf & panel dimensions

    Shelf: 590 x 450 mm
    Panel: 510 x 450 mm

  • Shelf & panel thickness

    Shelf: 22 mm
    Panel: 22 mm

  • Load capacity

    45 kg each shelf

  • Decoupling

    2/3 steps of decoupling:
    • rubber washers positioned between the structure's cylinders and the underside of the shelves;
    • rubber-like material on the floor-saving disks;
    • OPTIONAL – rubber-like materials between the shelves and the floating panels.

  • Notes

    Easy to install. Always expandeable and upgradeable even aftermarket.

Products

The Supernova Collection completes the Essenza by Bassocontinuo portfolio with two iconic yet traditional mono-finish products: Apollo (tower rack with two/three shelves) and Atlas (power amplifier stand). Both models are designed and manufactured in Italy, embodying a philosophy centered on upgradability.

Available in a standard configuration or with optional floating panels, which can be installed on each single shelf (even aftermarket!).

Finishes

New rack collection means new finishing!

Like the collection's name suggest, the Supernova Line finish reminds a stellar explosion. While the solid steel structure remains black-coated, the HDC shelves present a dark finish enriched with subtle light grey/white veins and violet reflections that evoke the appearance of natural marble, while offering the tactile sensation of solid stone craftsmanship. This stunning aethetic livery is achieved using a state-of-the-art laser technology that guarantes an impeccable finish even on the edges.

IMPERIAL DARK

Shelf: black with grey/white veins and violet reflections
Structure: black-coated steel

Upgrades

ADDITIONAL SHELF

 

For those with larger setups who need more space to accomodate their components, we offer the option of adding extra shelves.
Each additional shelf comes with 250 mm legs and a complete installation kit, guaranteeing a fast and easy setup.

FLOATING PANEL

 

A technical upgrade for enhanced performance!
The floating panel is a rubber-isolated accessory designed to be placed on the shelves of Supernova racks.
You can choose to integrate it on the top shelf only (typically reserved for source components like turntable or CD player), or on selected levels, as desired.
By resting on rubber-like material, it decouples and isolates your components from unwanted vibrations, improving the overall performance of the rack.
Each panel is supplied with decoupling materials of two different densities:

  • Red rubber, for components up to 20kg;
  • Yellow rubber, for components exceeding 20kg.
