Quadraspire Q4 EVO 4-Shelf HiFi Rack
The Quadraspire Q4 EVO 4-Shelf HiFi Rack in black is the Q4 EVO in its most common configuration: four machined, solid bamboo shelves on curved aluminum columns, spaced 10.1, 10.1 and 8.5 inches from the bottom up, all in black. It is ready to order as it stands, made in Britain by Quadraspire, and every part of it can still be changed in our rack builder if your gear needs different spacing.
Key Features of the Quadraspire Q4 EVO 4-Shelf HiFi Rack
- Four Solid Bamboo Shelves: Black bamboo ply, machined to reduce resonance, with chamfered edges to help dissipate energy.
- Solid Aluminum SV Columns: 32 mm curved columns in aluminum, which Quadraspire uses because steel tube can resonate.
- Spacing for the Heavy Pieces: 10.1 inches above the bottom two shelves for power amps and tube amps, 8.5 inches above the third, and an open top shelf for a turntable.
- 175 lb Per Shelf: Each of the four levels is rated to 80 kg.
- Spikes Included: The rack stands on spikes, with the bottom shelf 3.9 inches off the floor and 35.0 inches tall overall.
- No Parallel Lines: The curved shelf and column shapes avoid the parallel lines that encourage resonance, the same idea behind most musical instruments.
- Made in Britain: Quadraspire has built its racks in England since 1995.
Who Is Quadraspire?
Quadraspire is a British maker of hi-fi furniture, founded in 1995 and now building racks in Hallatrow, England. Their argument is simple: what you place your hi-fi on affects how it performs. Quadraspire picks every material and shape to reduce resonance, with the stated goal of lowering the noise floor and opening up the soundstage.
Why the Materials Matter
Each Q4 EVO shelf is solid bamboo ply. Quadraspire tested other shelf materials, found that glass and similar surfaces resonate, and settled on bamboo because it suppresses vibration (it is also carbon neutral).
Every shelf is then machined to cut resonance further, and its edges are chamfered, which Quadraspire says helps dissipate energy.
The columns and feet are aluminum rather than steel tube. Steel tube can resonate and distort the sound, and aluminum has much less resonance, so Quadraspire uses it for every column and foot.
The shelves and columns are curved on purpose: parallel lines on a rectangular shelf encourage resonance, so the Q4 EVO avoids them wherever it can.
The Spacing, Shelf by Shelf
From the floor up, this rack uses columns of 256, 256 and 216 mm, which is 10.1, 10.1 and 8.5 inches. The two lower shelves get the most height, so that is where a power amp or a tube amp goes. The third shelf has 8.5 inches, room for a tall integrated or a small tube amp, and the top shelf has nothing above it, so a turntable lid opens all the way. Overall the rack stands 35.0 inches tall on its spikes.
The shelf itself is 23.2 x 15.6 inches, with 477 x 297 mm (18.8 x 11.7 in) between the columns. Check the depth of your deepest component against that before you order; if it needs more, the Q4L EVO uses the same parts with a deeper shelf.
Build Your Own Q4 EVO
This rack is one way to build a Q4 EVO. In our builder you pick one to seven shelves, the space above each, one of four bamboo finishes, black or silver columns, and spikes, flat feet, floor protectors or casters. It draws the rack to scale and prices it as you go, and Mike can check the design before you order.
Here is the Q4 EVO in the other three bamboo finishes. Tap one to open the builder in that finish.
Add a Matching Q4 EVO Amp Stand
A big power amp, or a pair of monoblocks, often sits on the floor beside the rack instead of on a shelf. The Quadraspire Q4 EVO Amp Stand is a single Q4 EVO shelf on spikes in the same black finish, and adding one or two with this rack takes about 10% off each stand.
The Quadraspire Rack Line, Compared
How the Q4 EVO sits among the ready-made Quadraspire racks. Every one here is in black, ready to order: four shelves, or three on the wide SV2T and SV3T.
Pick the Q4 EVO for the plain, machined shelf in the most compact footprint. Go to the Q4L EVO when a component is deeper than 15.6 in, to the SVT for the slotted performance shelf, to the SVTL for a larger shelf, to the SV2T or SV3T to spread a system out side by side, or to the X-Reference for the 44 mm frame on bronze feet.

Quadraspire Q4 EVO or Q4L EVO?
Quadraspire Q4 EVO or Q4L EVO?
They share everything except shelf depth. The Q4 EVO shelf is 590 x 395 mm (23.2 x 15.6 in) with 297 mm (11.7 in) between the front and back columns; the Q4L EVO shelf is 590 x 470 mm (23.2 x 18.5 in) with 355 mm (14.0 in). If your deepest component is longer than 15.6 inches front to back, the Q4L EVO is the one to buy. A component wider than the 18.8 inches between the columns has to fit between them, where the limit is 11.7 inches on the Q4 EVO and 14.0 inches on the Q4L EVO.
What is the difference between the Quadraspire Q4 EVO and the SVT?
What is the difference between the Quadraspire Q4 EVO and the SVT?
The columns and the 80 kg (175 lb) per shelf rating are the same. The Q4 EVO shelf is plain machined bamboo with chamfered edges, at 23.2 x 15.6 in. The SVT shelf is deeper at 23.2 x 18.5 in and has machined slots, which Quadraspire says lower mass and improve airflow, plus solid brass inserts between the columns and shelves.
How much weight can a Q4 EVO shelf hold?
How much weight can a Q4 EVO shelf hold?
Quadraspire rates every Q4 EVO shelf to a maximum of 80 kg (175 lb), so each of the four levels on this rack can carry a heavy power amp on its own.
Can I add more shelves to a Q4 EVO rack later?
Can I add more shelves to a Q4 EVO rack later?
Yes, bamboo Q4 EVO shelves can be added with another set of columns. Quadraspire recommends staying within 8 tiers, or 1500 mm, for the whole frame, and makes columns in 100, 140, 180, 216, 256 and 326 mm so the new level can suit what goes on it. Bamboo is a natural material, so a new shelf may not match an older one exactly.
Will the Q4 EVO spikes damage a hardwood floor?
Will the Q4 EVO spikes damage a hardwood floor?
The rack comes on spikes. Quadraspire's QC floor protectors sit under each spike; they are machined from solid stainless steel to protect the floor and, Quadraspire says, to improve the sound. In our rack builder you can order the Q4 EVO with QC or QX7 protectors, flat feet or casters instead.
