Clic Classic Series Model 220-2
Overview
The Clic Classic Series Model 220-2 is a cabinet designed to house and conceal audio-video equipment. Created in 1999 by Mike Fabricius, founder of the Clic brand, it was born from the search for a practical solution to integrate hi-fi systems into living spaces. This model is manufactured in Denmark with artisanal expertise, with close attention to material quality and assembly precision.
A modular design built for total customization
The Model 220-2 offers a layout with two identical compartments, each of which can be configured independently to suit your specific needs. This approach allows for up to 16 different combinations by mixing open sections, fabric doors, wooden doors, or drawers. Each compartment can be tailored precisely to your equipment: a visible amplifier on one side, a concealed CD player on the other, or storage for remote controls and accessories in drawers.
The cabinet’s structure reflects a specialized manufacturing technique developed by Clic. Unlike conventional furniture, the 220-2 uses a construction without a fixed back panel, replaced by magnetically attached plates set 5 cm from the rear. This ensures remarkable structural rigidity while simplifying cable management and equipment ventilation. Shelves adjustable in three positions accommodate devices of varying heights, from compact network players to large amplifiers.
Materials and finishes: Danish artisanal excellence
All Clic cabinets are handmade in Denmark following traditional craft principles. The units arrive fully assembled from the Hornslet factory, renowned for producing high-quality loudspeaker enclosures with a flawless finish. This acoustic expertise is evident in every detail of the Model 220-2.
The painting process particularly illustrates this pursuit of perfection. After the cabinet is assembled, it is hand-painted to ensure a perfect finish with crisp edges and tightly sealed joints. The water-based paint used provides durability and color stability over time. This artisanal method achieves a level of finish that automated industrial processes cannot match.
Customization options reflect this attention to detail. Four paint colors (white, black, grey, and light grey) allow for seamless integration into any contemporary interior, while oak or walnut veneers bring natural warmth. The fabric doors, available in ten shades ranging from Coal to Olive Green, not only conceal equipment but also allow infrared remote signals to pass through while slightly reducing sound reflections.
Cable management: a solution designed down to the finest detail
Cable management is often the Achilles’ heel of audio-video setups. The Model 220-2 addresses this with a sophisticated system. A centered cable pass-through on the top panel makes it easy to connect a TV or turntable, while a second opening at the bottom facilitates connections between stacked units or routing to wall outlets.
The removable rear plates include cable pass-throughs, but can also be ordered without holes as needed. This flexibility allows you to tailor the cabinet precisely to your setup. The 5 cm space between the plates and the back of the cabinet creates an invisible channel to store excess cable, maintaining a clean look even with multiple connections.
Optional aluminum or brass cable-cover plates, engraved with the Clic logo, turn cable pass-throughs into full-fledged design elements. Available in silver, black, or brass, they coordinate with your equipment and the cabinet’s feet for complete visual harmony.
Installation versatility and complementary accessories
The Model 220-2 adapts to three distinct installation modes. Placed directly on the floor for a strong presence, mounted on Clic Alu Stands machined from a single piece of aluminum with adjustable feet, or wall-mounted using the special bracket for a flush installation. This last option frees up floor space while creating a visually light effect that is particularly appreciated in contemporary interiors.
Clic cabinets can be stacked thanks to their specially designed magnetic feet, allowing you to create custom furniture combinations. This unique feature turns the Model 220-2 into a modular element of an evolving system. You can start with a simple configuration and gradually expand it as your audio-video system grows.
The “vinyl hole” option deserves special attention. This patented cut-out in the top panel allows storage of between 60 and 90 vinyl records depending on cabinet depth, making it easy to flip through your favorite collection. Aluminum corners protect the edges while a non-slip rubber mat keeps records in place. This feature turns the cabinet into a true musical hub where turntable and collection coexist elegantly.
Compatibility and evolution within the Clic ecosystem
Clic offers three distinct series: clic TV series for televisions, clic classic with 55 models for hi-fi equipment and vinyl collections, and clic custom for tailor-made solutions. The Model 220-2 belongs to the Classic series, designed specifically for high-fidelity audio systems and multimedia storage.
With 73 different models available in 4 depths, 5 widths, and 5 heights, the possibilities for customized combinations are virtually endless. The Model 220-2 can integrate into a larger setup, stacking with other models to create a cohesive audio-video library or pairing with TV series models for a complete home cinema solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Model 220-2 accommodate a soundbar inside the compartments?
No, this model is not designed to integrate a soundbar inside the compartments. Only the S versions in the Clic range support this configuration. The Model 220-2 is optimized for traditional hi-fi equipment and multimedia storage. A soundbar can, however, be placed on the top panel of the cabinet.
What is the maximum load supported by the shelves and the top panel?
The 16 mm thick shelves and the cabinet’s robust construction support heavy hi-fi gear such as power amplifiers or high-end turntables. For particularly heavy loads, optional support bars can be added to reinforce the structure. The construction technique without a fixed back panel ensures optimal rigidity even under substantial load.
How do the magnetic rear plates work, and can they be removed completely?
The rear plates attach magnetically 5 cm from the back of the cabinet, creating a cable management space. They can be removed entirely to facilitate installation or maintenance of equipment. This design also improves natural ventilation of devices. The plates can be ordered with or without cable pass-throughs according to your needs.
Do the fabric doors allow infrared remote signals to pass through?
Yes, the fabric doors are specifically designed to allow infrared signals to pass. You can therefore control your equipment without opening the doors. The fabric also provides appealing acoustic properties by slightly reducing sound reflections while preserving audio quality.
Can additional shelves be ordered or the configuration changed after purchase?
Additional shelves can be ordered separately. Because doors and drawers are installed to order, a major configuration change would require contacting Clic directly. However, the system’s modularity allows you to add other Clic models to expand your setup without altering the existing cabinet.
Does the unit require assembly upon delivery?
Clic cabinets arrive fully assembled from the Hornslet factory. No assembly is required; the cabinet is ready to use upon delivery. Only optional accessories such as aluminum feet or the wall bracket require simple installation.
What is the difference between the 37.5 cm depth models and the other available depths?
The Model 220-2 with its 37.5 cm depth is perfectly suited to standard hi-fi equipment and can hold around 60 records with the vinyl hole option. Deeper models (45.5 cm and 55 cm) offer more space for cables behind the rear plates and can store approximately 80 and 90 records respectively. The choice depends on your equipment and the space available in your room.
Are the Clic Alu Stands included, or must they be ordered separately?
The aluminum feet are an optional accessory that must be ordered separately. The cabinet can be used directly on the floor, on feet, or wall-mounted. If your model requires additional support feet for stability, they will be automatically included with your order.
