Our Review

Introduction

Salamander Designs has long been recognized for its premium home theater furniture, seamlessly blending functionality with style. Their Chameleon Rear Panel Audio Cabinet is no exception, offering a sophisticated solution for audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts seeking a centralized hub for their entertainment systems.

Design and Build Quality

The Chameleon cabinet exudes elegance with its sleek lines and modern appeal, making it a statement piece that can complement any living space. Constructed from high-quality wood and a robust metal frame, it promises durability and stability. At dimensions of 64.75 x 21.25 x 22.5 inches, it commands a significant presence, so potential buyers should ensure their space can accommodate its footprint.

Functionality and Features

Functionality is at the forefront of the Chameleon's design. Adjustable shelves cater to various electronic components, while ventilation louvers promote airflow, essential for maintaining equipment longevity. The media drawer is a thoughtful addition, capable of holding up to 75 DVDs, ensuring your favorite films are always within reach. The pinch-out rear panels are a standout feature, simplifying cable management and offering easy access to connections.

Customization and Compatibility

Flexibility is key, and the Chameleon doesn't disappoint with options for interior lighting and active cooled rear panels—a boon for tech-heavy setups. Its compatibility with flat panel mounts ensures it can support large, heavy TVs, while integration with Salamander's IR repeater and power strip streamlines the user experience.

Active Cooling System

The active cooling system's dual 120mm fans are designed to be maintenance-free and whisper-quiet, preventing any disruption during your viewing or listening sessions. The remote thermostat allows for precise temperature control, activating the fans when the internal temperature hits 80°F. The system is effective, yet its 22 dBA noise level remains unobtrusive.

Pros and Cons

The cabinet's high-quality construction, customizable shelving, and media storage solutions are significant advantages. However, it's not without its drawbacks. The door hinges and glass top may present durability issues over time, and there's a lack of sound and vibration isolation, which could be a concern for audio purists. For certain setups, additional cooling may be necessary, despite the active cooling system's presence.

Installation and Setup

Setting up the Chameleon requires some assembly and potential adjustments for door alignment. While this might be a minor inconvenience, the end result is a sturdy and functional piece of furniture that's well worth the effort.

Product Comparisons

When compared to similar products on the market, the Chameleon holds its own with its high-quality materials and thoughtful design. While some competitors may offer more advanced sound isolation, the Chameleon's optional active cooling system and customization options give it a unique edge.

User Experience

The user experience with the Chameleon is largely positive, thanks to its user-friendly features and customization options. Adjusting shelves and accessing components is straightforward, enhancing the overall interaction with the cabinet.

Final Thoughts

The Salamander Designs Chameleon Rear Panel Audio Cabinet is a well-crafted piece of furniture that offers both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality. It is particularly suited for those who value a customizable and stylish home theater setup. While it may require some additional considerations for setup and possibly extra cooling, its benefits are substantial. This cabinet is a solid investment for those looking to organize and enhance their home entertainment system.
