Audio/visual Rack CS seriesIn pursuit of heaviness and quietness

TAOC -- A trusted brand "Controlling" rather than "damping" vibrations The foundation of audio is the setup.TAOC is Aisin Takaoka's brand of high-grade audio equipment. A member of the Toyota group of companies, Aisin Takaoka is one of the world's top casting companies and is the largest producer of cast-iron automobile parts in Japan.The common driving force behind all TAOC products is cast-iron. Our focus is on the damping e�ects of the graphite contained in cast-iron and we have been producing high-end audiovisual accessories since 1983 for audiophiles around the world.

Is your audio system performing at its best?TAOC's audiovisual accessories will elevate your favorite audio equipment to another level. Our vibration-control technologies improve the low transients to enhance separation and the amount of information in the sound. This creates a beautiful sound with excellent resolution.

Based on the concept "the one who conquers vibration conquers audio," TAOC has pursued high rigidity and optional damping performance. Our goal has been to create high-resolution and high-�delity sound. And audiophiles around the world have recognized the superb damping e�ect of TAOC products. The FC series --- a lineup of high-grade speaker systems made by TAOC --- is the culmination of our cast-iron damping technology.The conclusion we have reached as a result of our speaker development is that a

"symbiosis with vibration" needs to be created. Vibration control reduces unwanted vibrations that tend to muddy the sound, giving life to natural and beautiful vibrations. This is TAOC's new concept. TAOC continues to focus on the relationship between music and vibrations.

TAOC's top-of-the-line CS series audio racks integrate all the damping technologies we have accumulated over the years.The tranquility realized by their superb damping effect greatly expands the range of musical expression.

Users will �nd that cable connections are simple to make because they can easily reach behind their equipment. The use of thick steel plates ensures that rigidity is maintained in a two-pole con�guration.

Racks have a two-pole con�guration to enhance ease of use.

When a rack is placed on a carpet or tatami mats, the sound loses its instantaneous force, much like the way we lose traction on loose or soft ground. On a wooden �oor, however, the transmitted sound makes the �oor resonate, robbing the music of its pleasant vibrations. These boards are a result of TAOC's vibration research.Our Sound Creation Boards will raise your listening environment to the next level.

A unique construction that improves sound quality.With a compact cast-iron core sandwiched between layers of high-density particleboard, the Sound Creation Board is a heavyweight board that compensates for soft �oors and provides excellent rigidity, high speci�c gravity and superb damping performance.

Performs well in a wide range of applications.When used in a traditional Japanese-style room, the Sound Creation Board will improve the sharpness and volume of the lows and enhance the clarity of sound in the mid to high ranges. This product dramatically enhances sound location and presence. The bene�ts are the same in a Western-style room with carpet. In rooms with wooden �oors, it reinforces the �oor and controls the �oor's resonance to signi�cantly reduce muddiness.

Size variations allow a wide range of setups.An assortment of size variations is available to support di�erent sizes of equipment and a wide range of listening positions. Choose the right product for your setup.

When a rack is placed on a carpet or tatami mats, the sound loses its instantaneous force, much like the way we lose traction on loose or soft ground. On a wooden �oor, however, the transmitted sound makes the �oor resonate, robbing the music of its pleasant vibrations. These boards are a result of TAOC's vibration research.Our Sound Creation Boards will raise your listening environment to the next level.

A unique construction that improves sound quality.With a compact cast-iron core sandwiched between layers of high-density particleboard, the Sound Creation Board is a heavyweight board that compensates for soft �oors and provides excellent rigidity, high speci�c gravity and superb damping performance.

Performs well in a wide range of applications.When used in a traditional Japanese-style room, the Sound Creation Board will improve the sharpness and volume of the lows and enhance the clarity of sound in the mid to high ranges. This product dramatically enhances sound location and presence. The bene�ts are the same in a Western-style room with carpet. In rooms with wooden �oors, it reinforces the �oor and controls the �oor's resonance to signi�cantly reduce muddiness.

Size variations allow a wide range of setups.An assortment of size variations is available to support di�erent sizes of equipment and a wide range of listening positions. Choose the right product for your setup.

Insulator TITE seriesInsulators that maximize your audio equipment's performance

Improves all sound rangesThis is a revolutionary insulator that is e�ective in improving the entire audio range from bass to treble. A spike made of high-carbon cast-iron, which is known for its ability to enhance clear and powerful sound, and a spike plate made of “Advanced High-carbon cast-iron”, a new material developed by TAOC, are combined in a pin con�guration. This adds subtlety and brilliance to clear and powerful sound for improved audio quality across all ranges.

<Advanced High-carbon cast-iron>We have evolved the high-carbon cast-iron material using our unique, patented fabrication technique. This new material by TAOC retains its excellent damping performance while achieving a hardness that exceeds all other materials.Advanced High-carbon cast-iron material was evolved, using our unique, patented fabrication technique.

Super Insulator Hybrid InsulatorHybrid InsulatorThis is a hybrid insulator made of molded maple, a new material that gives richness to the sound, and high-carbon cast-iron, which enhances the freshness of the sound.

<Molded maple> This is a new, 100% wooden material for audio applications.Our special process for blending, into a single piece, hard maple (speci�c gravity: 0.70g/cm3) which is a heavy and hard material that improves the high and mid ranges, with Japanese ash (speci�c gravity: 0.68g/cm3) which is a resilient material that improves the low and mid ranges. The resulting material enhances audio quality over all ranges, something that is not possible using only one type of material. The blended material is then compressed under high pressure to increase its speci�c gravity to 1.40 (g/cm3) to give a sense of density to the sound.

Place the spike on the bottom for better seating and stability.

Place the spike on the top for a more brilliant and clear sound.
