Bassocontinuo Aeon Light Carbon Audio Rack

The Bassocontinuo Aeon Light is a three-tier hi-fi rack made from carbon fibre that makes entry into Bassocontinuo's rack technology possible at a noticeably more accessible price.

According to the manufacturer, the Aeon Light is the world's first rack made from 70% recycled carbon – a deliberately more sustainable alternative to the larger Aeon X, without giving up the basic principle of carbon construction. It's available exclusively in the Racing Black finish, with a choice of Silver or Lead structure. Decoupling here, too, is achieved via visco-elastic materials.

Who is the Aeon Light for?

The Aeon Light is aimed at anyone who wants to try the Bassocontinuo carbon idea without immediately committing to the Aeon X's budget. Anyone looking for maximum rigidity and the Le Mans option should still go for the Aeon X – the Aeon Light is the pragmatic, more affordable entry point.

Our verdict

For an entry-level model, the Aeon Light offers a surprising amount of what makes the Aeon X special: the same basic idea of a carbon rack, just reduced in finish and price. An honest alternative for anyone who wants to get into the technology first.

Frequently asked questions

What does "70% recycled carbon" mean for the Aeon Light?
According to the manufacturer, the Aeon Light is made from 70% recycled carbon fibre material. This reduces raw material use compared to newly produced carbon, without changing the fundamental rack construction.

What's the difference between the Aeon Light and the Aeon X?
The Aeon Light is the entry-level model: only in the Racing Black finish, without the Le Mans option and without a copper structure, but noticeably cheaper. The Aeon X offers more finish and structure variants as well as the more elaborate monocoque frame concept.

What heights are available for the Aeon Light?
Available are the floor module as well as modules from 100 to 350 mm in height, each with a Silver or Lead structure. Prices range from CHF 1,480 to CHF 2,015 depending on the combination.

Is the Aeon Light suitable for a compact setup?
Yes, at 665 × 565 mm it's about as compact as the Aeon X and fits into most living-room setups. For very wide AV components, the double-width Argo models are the more suitable choice.
