The Stax 2G consists of levels with graduated usable heights that you stack freely. The 170 is the workhorse level here: integrated amplifiers, CD players, streamers and most turntables without a dust cover fit underneath it. You set it on the base module or between existing levels, bringing your rack step by step closer to your system instead of living with fixed standard spacings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA shelf made from 13 mm thick plywood, carried by four supports that connect invisibly with M10 screws into the level below. Silicone isolation pads sit between the levels and against the base, damping structure-borne sound before it reaches the device. The supports are hollow and each hold around 2.2 litres of inert material – dry sand or quartz granulate will do. You can load each level with up to 40 kg, so even power amps that treat weight as a quality mark are no problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Module 170 suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone expanding their Stax 2G or planning one from scratch. Straight talk: the Module 170 doesn't stand alone – it strictly needs a base module underneath, because that's where the feet, spikes and assembly tool are included. If your turntable has a dust cover or your tube amplifier needs headroom, take the Module 220 instead; for the record collection there's the Module LP. Blok recommends a maximum of 1100 mm for the whole build – beyond that, even the nicest stack gets unsteady.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Module 170 is the level most people end up needing two of. It covers the majority of common HiFi devices, it looks homely rather than technical in Ash Black\/Walnut, and it can be rearranged later as your system grows. The Stax 2G system was awarded the EISA \"AV Furniture 2024-2025\" prize – a nice confirmation for a piece of furniture you usually only notice once it's missing. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we plan the stack with you before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Build-up module for the Blok Stax 2G HiFi rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsable height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUsable shelf area (W × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 480 × 379 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall dimensions (H × W × D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 185 × 602 × 402 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShelf:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 mm plywood, ash black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ash Black \/ Walnut natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecoupling:\u003c\/strong\u003e silicone isolation pads between levels and against the base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDamping:\u003c\/strong\u003e hollow supports, fillable with approx. 2.2 l inert material each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoad capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 kg per level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax. recommended build height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1100 mm (total rack)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blok (Monitor Audio Group), Saffron Walden, UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4× M10 screws (feet, spikes and assembly tool belong to the base module)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow tall can devices on the Module 170 be?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 170 mm. That's the usable height between the shelf and the level above. For devices that get warm, add a few millimetres of clearance for ventilation, and factor in the space that stiff mains and speaker cables need at the back. Otherwise it's an exact fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a base module for the Module 170?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Module 170 is a build-up level with no feet of its own; height-adjustable feet with spikes, the assembly tool and the setup instructions belong to the base module. The module itself comes with four M10 screws, which you use to set it onto the level below. You don't need anything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much weight does a level carry?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e40 kg per level, according to Blok. That means heavy integrated amplifiers and power amps are no issue at all. If you like it really calm, fill the hollow supports with dry sand – around 2.2 litres per support – and take the last bit of resonance out of the build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I mix the Module 170 with other module heights?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, all Stax 2G modules stack freely and can be rearranged later. Common choices are 120 mm for flat devices, 170 mm for amplifiers and players, 220 mm for tall components, and the Module LP for record storage. Blok recommends a maximum of 1100 mm total height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Blok Stax 2G Module 170 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we work out with you beforehand which levels you actually need – device heights, cable routing, floor type.
