Height / Thickness
Height is the vertical dimension or thickness of a component in its stated orientation.
Feet, covers and adjustable parts can affect the figure. Product height is separate from the clearance required above it for operation or ventilation.
Height / Thickness — MC Head Amp
For a phono head amp, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.

Height / Thickness — Digital Audio Player
For a portable player, height is one of the case dimensions and needs the published orientation to be clear.
Compare dimensions in a consistent order rather than assuming height always means thickness. A carrying case or attached connector can change the practical fit.
Height / Thickness — Equalizer
For an equalizer, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.

Height / Thickness — Upscaler
For a digital upscaler, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — Tuner
For a tuner, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — Crossover
For an active crossover, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — Damping Feet
For an isolation foot, height determines how far the component is raised above the support.
Check whether the value is unloaded or measured under the specified load and adjustment. A compressed working height may differ from the free-standing dimension.
Height / Thickness — Loudspeaker
For a loudspeaker, height describes the cabinet’s vertical size in its normal orientation.
Check whether feet, spikes or a separate stand are included. Cabinet height is distinct from driver height above the floor and from the total height after installation.
Height / Thickness — Power Supply
For an external power supply, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — Headphone Amp
For a headphone amplifier, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — Power Amp
For a power amplifier, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — Power Regenerator
For a power regenerator, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — Subwoofer
For a subwoofer, height describes the cabinet’s vertical size in its normal orientation.
Check whether feet, spikes or a separate stand are included. Cabinet height is distinct from driver height above the floor and from the total height after installation.
Height / Thickness — Power Filter
For a power filter, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — External Clock
For an external clock, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — Super Tweeter
For a super tweeter, height helps assess its physical placement on or beside the main loudspeaker.
Check included supports or mounting parts. The enclosure height alone does not specify the acoustic centre or the correct alignment with the main tweeter.
Height / Thickness — Optical Equalizer
For an optical-cartridge equalizer, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — DAC
For a DAC, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — Turntable
For a turntable, height helps determine the space required above its support.
Compare the stated cover position and whether feet are included. An open lid or cueing access can need more space than the closed-unit height.
Height / Thickness — Step-Up Transformer (SUT)
For a step-up transformer, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — Preamp
For a preamplifier, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — Phono Preamp
For a phono preamplifier, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — Damping Base
For an isolation base, height adds to the total installed height of the supported component.
Compare the specified loaded or unloaded condition and any adjustment range. Include this extra height when checking shelf clearance above the complete assembly.
Height / Thickness — Music Server
For a music server, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
Compare whether feet or projecting controls are included and leave the operating or ventilation clearance specified for the unit. A close dimensional fit does not automatically provide adequate clearance.
Height / Thickness — Streamer
For a streamer, height helps check whether the unit fits the available shelf opening.
