Chord Electronics Choral Ensemble Stand System at Vinyl Sound Toronto Canada

The Chord Electronics Choral Ensemble Stand System is an official Chord Electronics equipment support accessory, available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada. Precision-machined from solid aircraft-grade aluminium billet in England, the Ensemble Stand is the purpose-designed stacking and display solution for Chord Electronics' Choral range components, including the DAVE DAC, BLU MKII CD transport, and Etude stereo power amplifier. Available in three leg height options (Short 70mm, Medium 115mm, and Large 165mm), with a choice of raw silver, aluminium, or matt black finish, the Ensemble Stand system enables modular two or three-unit stacking while maintaining full rear-panel port access and providing a stable, interlocked presentation for Choral range components.

Modular Design, Tri-Feet Stacking, and Full Port Access

The Choral Ensemble Stand uses a tri-feet stackable design with indentations on the top surface that accept the feet of the unit placed above, creating a mechanically interlocked and level assembly that prevents lateral movement between stacked components. A simple slide-in friction fit mechanism secures each Choral component within its stand without tools or fixings, while non-slip rubber feet protect the desk or rack surface below. The stand's footprint maintains full unrestricted access to all rear-panel connections on each housed component, ensuring that signal, power, and digital cables can be connected or adjusted without removing any unit from the stand. The Ensemble Stand is a modular system: one stand accommodates a single unit in an angled presentation that improves access to top-panel controls, while additional stands enable two or three units to be stacked in a compact, elegantly integrated column. The aluminium construction matches exactly the material and finish of the DAVE, BLU MKII, and Etude, creating a visually unified Choral system installation. The stand is not compatible with the Ultima amplifier series, the Hugo range (including M Scaler and Hugo TT 2), or the Qutest range (Qutest, Huei, Anni).

Key Features

• Purpose-Designed for Choral Range: Compatible with the Chord DAVE DAC, BLU MKII CD transport, and Etude stereo power amplifier. Not compatible with Ultima, Hugo, or Qutest range components.
• Three Leg Height Options: Short (70mm), Medium (115mm), and Large (165mm) leg lengths allow customisation of the spacing and height of stacked units to suit personal preference and cable routing requirements.
• Three Finish Options: Raw silver, aluminium, and matt black finishes are available to match any Choral system aesthetic or room environment.
• Tri-Feet Interlocking Design: Top-surface indentations accept the feet of the unit above, creating a mechanically stable and level stacked assembly that prevents lateral movement.
• Simple Slide-In Friction Fit: Each component slides into the stand without tools or fixings for easy installation and removal.
• Full Rear Port Access: The stand geometry maintains unrestricted access to all rear-panel connections on each housed component.
• Modular for One, Two, or Three Units: A single stand provides an angled single-unit display; additional stands enable two or three-unit stacking in a compact interlocked column.
• Non-Slip Rubber Feet: Protect the surface below and prevent movement of the assembled stand system during use.
• CNC-Machined Aircraft-Grade Aluminium: Precision-machined from solid aluminium billet in England, matching the construction standard of the DAVE, BLU MKII, and Etude.
• Mix and Match Leg Options: Different leg heights and colours can be combined within a multi-unit installation for customised spacing and visual contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Chord Electronics Choral Ensemble Stand System?

The Chord Electronics Choral Ensemble Stand System is a modular stacking and display stand precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminium in England, designed for the Chord DAVE DAC, BLU MKII CD transport, and Etude stereo power amplifier. It uses a tri-feet interlocking design with top-surface indentations and a slide-in friction fit mechanism to create a stable, level, and fully port-accessible stacked assembly of one, two, or three Choral components. Three leg height options (70mm, 115mm, 165mm) and three finish choices (raw silver, aluminium, matt black) allow full customisation of the installed system.

Is the Ensemble Stand compatible with the Chord ULTIMA or Hugo range components?

No. The Choral Ensemble Stand is designed exclusively for the Chord DAVE, BLU MKII, and Etude, which share compatible chassis dimensions. It is not compatible with the Ultima series (ULTIMA 5, ULTIMA 6 power amplifiers), the Hugo range (Hugo TT 2, M Scaler), or the Qutest range (Qutest, Huei, Anni). For Hugo TT range stacking, Chord's Integra leg system is used, and for Qutest range stacking, the dedicated Qutest System Stand (QSS) is required.

Can I stack two DAVE units or a DAVE and BLU MKII together?

Yes, the Ensemble Stand is a modular system that supports any combination of the DAVE, BLU MKII, and Etude in a two or three-unit stack, provided each unit has its own stand with the appropriate leg height. A single stand can also be used to display one component in an angled presentation that improves access to top-panel controls without stacking.

What leg height should I choose?

Leg height choice is primarily a matter of personal preference and cable routing requirements. The Short (70mm) legs create a compact, tightly integrated stack suitable for shelves or dedicated racks. Medium (115mm) legs provide a more open spacing that aids ventilation and rear-panel cable access. Large (165mm) legs give the maximum spacing for deep cable connections or when a third component is being added below an existing stack. Different leg heights can be mixed within a system to accommodate different component depths or visual preferences.

Does the Ensemble Stand allow access to rear-panel connections?

Yes. The stand geometry is specifically designed to maintain full unrestricted access to all rear-panel connections on the housed component, including digital inputs and outputs, analogue connections, mains inlets, and trigger ports. Components can be connected and disconnected without removing them from the stand.

Where can I buy the Chord Electronics Choral Ensemble Stand in Toronto or Canada?

The Chord Electronics Choral Ensemble Stand System is available at Vinyl Sound, an authorised Chord Electronics dealer located in Toronto, Canada. Vinyl Sound can advise on leg height, finish selection, and the number of stands required for a complete Choral system installation.
