RXR AUDIO STAND
The Foundation of Great System Performance

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Harmonic Resolution Systems, Inc. (HRS) RXR
Audio Stand. When used properly, it will give you many years of superior musical
or video signal reproduction.
The RXR Audio Stand significantly reduces the negative impact of structure-borne
noise on your audio or video component performance. Decades of engineering
experience, custom material development, and listening tests are incorporated
into the design of the RXR Audio Stand. This high performance product from
Harmonic Resolution Systems, Inc. will enable your audio/video source and
amplification components to achieve high levels of performance.
The RXR Audio Stand, which includes the HRS Isolation Base as the primary shelf
system, is a perfect match for the HRS Damping Plates and Nimbus Products.
While the RXR Audio Stand and Isolation Bases work to significantly reduce
structure-borne noise, the HRS Damping Plates and Nimbus Products
significantly reduce the harmful effects of air-borne noise and structural
resonance on your components.
Please read this manual completely prior to assembly and use of your RXR Audio
Stand. It contains instructions necessary for proper assembly, use, and care of
this system. Proper care of your RXR Audio Stand will ensure optimum
performance and an aesthetically appealing system.

Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT WARNINGS!
Do not place any tall objects on the top shelf of the RXR Audio Stand. A tall
object is any object with a height that is greater than the length of the isolation
base. A tall object is also any object that has a height greater than its own width
or length. Tall objects must not be placed on top of the RXR Audio Stand for any
reason. The object may become unstable and tip over causing damage to the
component, adjacent objects, or injury to people.
Never lift or move the RXR Audio Stand with the shelves (Isolation Bases)
installed. You should always move the RXR Audio Stand frame to its final
location prior to loading shelves and components. Moving the RXR Audio Stand
frame with the isolation bases installed (with or without equipment) can
permanently damage the frame system or cause the shelves to fall out of the rack
resulting in potential damage or injury. Always take the time to remove all of the
equipment and shelves to relocate the RXR Audio Stand.
Do not lift the isolation base (shelf) by the inner plate (M3, M3X model) or the
external feet attached to the bottom of the rectangular frame. Always lift or move
the isolation base with the inner plate facing up and the external support feet
facing down (same orientation as when used to support your component).
Always follow these handling instructions to prevent personal injury or damage
to the unit.

Setup Instructions
The RXR Audio Stand consists of a frame structure and isolation bases that
support each component. The components required to assemble the frame are
shipped in one or more boxes. The number of boxes depends on the system size.
Each box containing parts for the frame will be marked with the model number
starting with RXR. All the wrenches required to put the frame together are
included with the shipment.
Work Surface - Prior to unpacking any material, locate a very strong and very
stable work surface (capable of supporting 250 lb. load) or an area on the floor
that will give you a very soft scratch resistant work area that is at least three feet
by three feet in size. The more space you have the better, as it will give you room
to move around the frame to complete assembly. It is important that the area be
free of all dirt, screws or small pebbles, and that it is covered with a clean soft
protective blanket of same size that will prevent damage to high quality finish on
the frame.
Unpacking Assembly Hardware - Remove all the contents from all the boxes
marked with RXR model number. Place all the hardware on a table adjacent to
your selected work surface and remove all the wrapping material. Be careful not
to drop or allow any of the parts to contact each other as they may scratch the
surface. Do not stack the parts on top of each other once they are removed from
the protective packaging material. To make assembly easier, group identical
parts together in an organized manner. Make sure all RXR Primary Supports are
the same size; also check that the RXR Side Rails and RXR Center Rail if needed
are the correct length.
This audio stand will be assembled on its side. Depending on what frame
configuration you have purchased there may be a number of Primary Supports
that have threaded studs already attached. Do not try to remove these threaded
studs as they are attached to the frame. These Primary Supports with threads will
be the bottom of the audio stand.

Step 1. Your stand might be fully assembled. If so, skip to Step 7 and proceed.
To start assembling the RXR Audio Stand, locate one of the RXR Side Rails.
Place it with the side that contains the small threaded holes facing up. Take one
of the RXR Primary Supports without the threaded inserts and place it at the top
of Side Rail. The top of the Side Rail is the end that has a wooden cap on it. At the
top end all you see is wood; at the bottom end you will see two threaded inserts).
(See Picture 1.)
Picture 1.
Put two of the ¼”-20 x 1” button head fastener with one ¼” flat washers on each
of the screws in two holes that are diagonal from each other on the Primary
Support. Carefully with the fasteners sticking out through the support, line them
up with the corresponding holes of the Side Rail. The top Primary Support should
be just about level with the top of the Side Rail. (See Picture 2.) Only place two
fasteners in each side of the Primary Supports during the initial assembly of the
stand, the rest will be added in later.
Picture 2.

Step 2. The Primary Support with threaded inserts will be the bottom of the
stand. (Take notice that each of the Primary Supports has two shallow grooves on
one side, these grooves are to indicate the front of the RXR Audio Stand. As the
stand is assembled every Primary Support should have these grooves facing the
same direction.) Attach the bottom Primary Support just as in Step 1. The Side
Rail will sit about ¼” up from the bottom of the Primary Support. (See Picture 3.)
Picture 3
Step 3. Once the top and bottom Primary Supports are in place, it is time to
place the rest of the Primary Supports that go between them. Picture 4 shows the
stand with the top and bottom Primary Supports attached to the Side Rail.
Picture 4

Their locations will vary depending on the needed space for the components being
used. To get a rough idea of where the Primary Supports should go take the
component space needed and add 4 ¼” to it. The bottom of the Primary Support
should be this distance from the bottom of the support above it. If there isn’t a
threaded hole at the distance needed, simply move it up or down to the next
closest hole based on the space needed for the component. Repeat this step until
all the remaining Primary Supports are in place. (See picture 5)
Picture 5
Step 4. Take the last remaining Side Rail and place it on top of the Primary Supports
with the threaded holes facing down toward the supports and with the end of the rail in
the same orientation as the first rail already attached (See picture 6).
Picture 6.

If building a Double Wide Stand, place the Center Rail on top of the Primary
Supports with the threaded inserts pointing toward the bottom of the stand. (See
Picture 7.)
Picture 7
As in Step 1. Use two of the ¼”-20x 1” button head fastener with a ¼” flat
washer on each of the fasteners and place one of them through the Primary
Support. Carefully move the Side Rail or Center Rail so that the top of the rail
and the support are level with each other. The fastener should easily thread into
the Rail. Again do not fully torque any of the fasteners yet. Place two fasteners in
each Primary Support (see picture 2) diagonally across from each other.
Additionally when building a Double Wide Stand, it is best to turn the first half of
the stand onto its back or front, and then add more Primary Supports, Side or
Center Rails as needed. It is important to keep the orientation of the front of the
Primary Supports in mind while assembling the stand. All the sides with the two
grooves should face the same direction in the stand. (See Picture 8.)

Picture 8
Step 5. Once there are at least two fasteners in each side of all the Primary
Supports go back and place the last two fasteners in each side of the supports. All
of the fasteners should turn in very easily, if for some reason one seems hard to
turn in try moving the Primary Support slightly, this should help the fastener
thread in easily. Never force a threaded fastener on the RXR frame, as you will
strip the bolt plate and cause damage to the unit.
Step 6. Now that all the fasteners are assembled into the frame you can start to
slowly torque down the fasteners by gradually tightening each fastener a little at
a time to keep even pressure on all the threaded connection in the frame. All of
the fasteners will need to be made just snug. Once this is done and starting back
at the first set of fasteners, fully torque each fastener. Each fastener is at full
torque by turning the T-wrench about a half turn after the fastener is snug.

Step 7. Cut a small opening in the top of the oil provided with the RXR Audio
Stand and place a small amount on each of the RXR Threaded Inserts on the
bottom Primary Support. (See Picture 9.)
Picture 9.
Screw on to each of the inserts one RXR Locking Nut and one RXR Point (See
pictures 10 and 11). Once all these parts are on the stand, it is fully assembled.
Do a final check that all the grooves on the Primary Supports are facing the same
direction; the side with grooves is the front of the stand.
Picture 10. Picture 11.

Step 8. At this point the RXR Frame is completely assembled. (See Picture 12.)
Flip the RXR Frame upright, move the frame to the exact final location for use in
your system. Make sure the front of the frame is (the side with the grooves on the
Primary Supports) facing into the room. You are now ready to level the RXR
frame. Place a level on the top Primary Support. Rotate the RXR Point on the
bottom of the stand counter clock wise (clock wise if viewed from the top of the
stand) as required to level the stand and make it stable (contact with floor at all
eight locations). Make sure you do not rotate the RXR Points out more than 4-5
complete rotations. The RXR Points must have three (3) complete rotations of
engagement remaining on the threaded strut for proper performance and
strength. If more adjustment is required use a shim under the RXR Points so that
the additional travel is achieved without violating the three (3) full thread
minimum engagement requirement. When the stand frame is level, hold the RXR
Point with one hand and screw the RXR Locking Nut with your other hand back
into the top of the RXR Point and torque as much as possible with your hands.
This will lock the RXR Points into place and take any motion out of threaded
connection. The result should be a very stable, firm, and level frame structure.

You are now ready to load the HRS Isolation Bases and equipment into the RXR
frame system. The RXR has a 200 lbs maximum weight limit per level and a total
vertical weight limit of 600 lbs. See the chart below for clarification.

The RXR has a total frame load limit of 600 lbs. This includes the weight of the
isolation bases and the components combined. For example if the total weight of
all the isolation bases in the frame is 300 lbs then you have a total maximum
component weight, for all components in the frame, of 300 lbs. Never exceed the
total weight of 600 lbs (isolation bases plus components) for any RXR frame. If
you need more weight capacity then please use the HRS SXR, SXR Signature, or
MXR Frame systems.
Isolation Base Installation into RXR Frame - Uncrate each of the isolation
bases if not already complete. Make sure you read and follow all of the
instructions in the isolation base manual prior to installing into the RXR Audio
Stand frame. You will want to verify that the frame size matches the isolation

base size. The RXR-1921 uses the 1921 size isolation bases. The RXR-1719 uses
the 1719 size isolation bases.
Match the load range of each isolation base with the component weight.
Matching the isolation base to the proper component weight will ensure optimum
performance. The load range can be changed for a nominal factory fee. If you do
not have the correct load range for a component, please contact Harmonic
Resolution Systems, Inc. or your local certified retail location to arrange to have
this corrected.
Load the HRS Isolation Bases into the RXR Frame with the HRS logo facing the
front of the rack system. Be sure that the isolation base (shelf) foot is located
securely in the pocket of the RXR Frame Primary Support. This will
automatically occur when the front and back edge of the isolation base is in line
with the front and back face of the frame. If the front and back edges do not line
up with the front and back of the frame structure, contact Harmonic Resolution
Systems, Inc. or your certified retail location because you do not have the proper
size isolation base or frame. Use the twin shallow bodylines on the front of the
RXR Primary Support Structure to locate the isolation bases from left to right in
the frame. The widths of the shallow bodylines are the same as the standard
isolation base that is designed for use with the frame. When the left and right
edge of the isolation base is lined up with the ends of the shallow bodylines in the
frame then the isolation base is in the center of the frame.
Loading Components into RXR Frame - Carefully load each component into the
RXR Audio Stand. Be careful not to hit the front edge of the isolation base
because you will scratch the frame. Once all the components are loaded, you
should check to see that none of the isolation bases are overloaded. By placing
one or two fingers on the bottom of the Primary Support and your thumb on the
top of the isolation base, you should be able to move the top of the isolation base
slightly (at all four corners) when you squeeze your finger(s) together. If there is
no compliance, remove the isolation base and component to verify the load range
of the isolation base is correctly matched with the component. The load range of
the isolation base is identified by a colored sticker on the back of the isolation
base (see the HRS Isolation Base manual for instructions). Please consult with
your authorized Harmonic Resolution Systems, Inc. dealer or contact Harmonic
Resolution Systems, Inc. if you need assistance. The HRS Isolation Base load
range can be easily modified at any time by sending it to Harmonic Resolution
Systems, Inc. or an authorized dealer to have the primary isolation stage rebuilt.

Care and Maintenance
The RXR Audio Stand is a very low maintenance item that will provide many
years of trouble-free performance by applying these basic care instructions.
Clean the external surfaces of the RXR Audio Stand frame using a professional
quality ultra soft lint-free micro-fiber cloth available in high quality automotive
stores. Use a lightly water damped cloth if you need to clean dirt from the frame.
Do not use commercial furniture polishes on the RXR.
Please follow the care instructions in the isolation base manual to clean and care
for the shelves (isolation bases) of the RXR Audio Stand. Read and follow the
instructions received with the isolation base to ensure optimum performance and
cosmetic appeal.
Do not spray, soak, or submerge the rack frame or isolation bases in water or
cleaning solutions. The rack system and isolation bases are made from many
different parts and materials. Submerging, spraying, or soaking the rack system
or isolation base will cause permanent damage to the assembly.
Clean the metallic parts of the isolation base and RXR Audio Stand using a lint-
free soft (non-abrasive) cloth. Use a damp cloth with a mild soap or Pledge
Surface Cleaner if required. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents to clean
the RXR frame or isolation base, as they will damage the quality of finish.
Solvents and solvent-based cleaners will attack and damage some of the materials
used in the RXR frame and isolation base and should never be used.
Do not wash the interior flex element of the isolation base feet even if you see a
coating or white substance on the surface of the flex element. This coating is
intentional and is put in the flex element to protect the isolation material from the
environment.
Warnings!
Placing ultra sharp pointed feet directly on the isolation base may cause
permanent scratches.
Do not immerse in water or spray with water or any other liquids.
Do notuse abrasive cleaners or abrasive sponges.
Do not wash with any solvent based cleaning solutions.
Do not wash the interior flex element of the isolation feet even if you see a coating
or white substance on the surface of the flex element.
Be very careful not to cross thread the fasteners when moving the shelf brackets
