Essenza by Bassocontinuo Genesis Neutron Audio-Video Rack

A 2-position audio-video rack with solid-steel legs, HDF shelves, 80 kg per-shelf capacity, and Stormy Black finish

The Essenza by Bassocontinuo Neutron is an audio-video rack from the Genesis line, designed for systems that need a clean, stable, and expandable support structure without moving into Bassocontinuo’s more elaborate rack families. The Neutron uses a black-coated solid-steel structure with HDF shelves in a Stormy Black finish.

The rack is built around a modular 5-leg solid-steel structure, with height-adjustable stainless-steel spikes and floor-saving discs for setup flexibility. Rubber washers are placed between the legs and shelves for decoupling, while 5 HDR Harmonic Damping Resonators are fitted under the top shelf.

With 510 x 450 mm usable dimensions per position, 40 kg load capacity per position, and 80 kg load capacity per shelf, the Neutron is sized for wider audio-video systems while preserving the open, visually lighter character of the Genesis design. It is easy to install and remains expandable and upgradable after purchase.

Genesis Line

Genesis is part of Essenza by Bassocontinuo, a more accessible brand from Bassocontinuo created for listeners taking their first steps into high-fidelity audio furniture. The Genesis line is designed to offer practical vibration-control features, 100% Made in Italy construction, and a simplified product range at a more approachable level.

The line is built around HDF shelves, black-coated solid-steel structures, rubber-washer decoupling, and modular construction that can be expanded or upgraded after purchase. Genesis currently includes the Proton tower rack, Quark power amplifier stand, and Neutron audio-video rack, all offered in the Stormy Black finish.

About the Brand

Bassocontinuo is based in Bergamo, in the Lombardy region of Italy, where its audio racks are crafted with a strong emphasis on local manufacturing. The company sources the elements used in its racks, from carbon fiber to packaging materials, from nearby Italian suppliers to help maintain quality, consistency, and close control over production.

The brand combines Italian visual design with a scientific approach to vibration control and isolation. Each rack family is supported by extensive vibration and isolation testing performed at the Polytechnic University of Milan, with the reports published by Bassocontinuo for customers who want to understand the engineering behind the design.
