Acoustic Revive RAF-48H Air Floating Board
Air floating, ultimate insulation is made affordable!
RAF-48H employs the same air floating structure used for valuable electron microscope boards and realized with affordable price.
The air floating board RAF-48 has achieved ultimate isolation effect by floating the audio apparatus on a special AIR supported board.
RAF-48 has evolved to RAF-48H by now using the natural material “Hickory”.
Replacing the top-board from a Birch plywood type to one made from Hickory, the sound has improved further to more stable, vivid and organic presentation.
Air has overwhelming insulation ability compared to other vibration isolation materials like rubber or springs.
Insulation ability of RAF-48H is almost perfect and you will experience the improvement of S/N, transparency and texture of the sound due to the decrease of distortion and incidental sound as well as deeper, wider and higher 3 dimensional acoustic field to be played back.
Withstand load: Max. 60 Kg! Filling up the air is easy.
Up to 60Kgs of heavy equipment can be set on RAF-48H.
Filling up the air is easily done with the attached inflator at the air filling terminal on the front panel RAF-48H enables easy refill of air with a small inflator where conventional air floating boards needs compressor and other big implement.
High grade materials for the top board and the cabinet!
Air floating or magnet floating cut off the vibration from outside, but there remains the affection to the sound given by the materials directly contacting the equipment.
The reason is the vibration generated by the audio equipment themselves; vibrations of the motor of a CD player, an analog player, current of amplifiers etc. that shakes the top board of the air floating board/magnet floating board and be fed back to those equipment.
RAF-48H uses the best Finnish Birch with the best possible audio characteristics for the top board and cabinet, and for the lively audio quality with the energetic low range.
Floating boards with top board materials like glass, acrylic, plywood laminate will pick up those vibrations and make a dull sound, with poor low range.
Compact size for rack installation
RAF-48H is designed so it can be set not only for the equipment on the top shelf of the rack but for all other shelves.
Thus, all audio equipment can be set on RAF-48Hs, and you will be able to enjoy stereophony with audio information with outstanding S/N you have never experienced.
Size: W486*D436*H approx. 48mm(when inflated, not including terminals)
Top board size (on which an equipment is set): W447*D397*H15mm
Weight:approx. 4kg Withstand load: Max. 60kg An inflator attached(White or Black)

Acoustic Revive: Once you listen to it, you know the difference. The accessory and cable that not only changes sounds. The true accessory and cable manufacturer that revives the sound to most natural and real sound.
Our philosophy: "To take away nothing and to add nothing".
Our goal: "To purely transmit the original source signal and to emit the most realistic sound-stage into the listening room".
This is why we created ACOUSTIC REVIVE.
Acoustic Revive is a Japan producer of audio hi-end accessories and cables designed and engineered to obtain the best results today available. Construction quality is superb so they are also used in the major recording company.
The Japanese school of hi-end accessories for the fine optimization of an audio system, is here. Acoustic Revive takes audio tweaking very seriously, introducing materials and techniques extremely advanced:
- Using aerospace materials like the Duraluminium or physiological materials like natural quartz.
- Apply special material processing like the Japanese traditional forging process of "tripleC" cables technology.
- Doing deep cryogenic treatments that, modifying the molecule structure, better the signal transmission.
- Employ demagnetizing treatments, to cancel the influence of the magnetic fields.
- Dimension and design basing on the Gold Section.
- Introduce the so-called "virtual grounding" concept.
When an audio hi-end system is treated with Acoustic Revive accessories, it sounds more detailed, natural, smooth, and also more deep, powerful and dynamic. Every Acoustic Revive product is 100% "Made in Japan".
Please note that due to distribution agreements, the Acoustic Revive products can only be shipped within Italy.
