Quadraspire Q4L EVO 4-Shelf HiFi Rack
The Quadraspire Q4L EVO 4-Shelf HiFi Rack in black is the deeper Q4 EVO in its most common configuration: four machined, solid bamboo shelves at 23.2 x 18.5 inches 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 Q4L EVO 4-Shelf HiFi Rack
- A Deeper Q4 EVO Shelf: 23.2 x 18.5 inches, against 15.6 inches deep on the Q4 EVO, in black bamboo ply.
- Machined and Chamfered: Each shelf is machined to reduce resonance, and its edges are chamfered to help dissipate energy.
- Solid Aluminum SV Columns: 32 mm curved columns in aluminum, chosen over steel tube 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 bottom shelf sits 3.9 inches off the floor, and the rack is 35.0 inches tall overall.
- 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 Choose the Deeper Shelf?
The Q4L EVO exists for components that hang off the back of a standard Q4 EVO. Between its columns the shelf gives you 477 x 355 mm (18.8 x 14.0 in), against 297 mm (11.7 in) of depth on the Q4 EVO, so a deep amplifier or a CD player with cables out the back has room to sit fully on the shelf. Everything else is the same Q4 EVO: the same columns, the same 80 kg rating and the same four finishes.
Why the Materials Matter
The shelves are solid bamboo ply. Quadraspire tested other shelf materials, found that glass and similar surfaces resonate, and chose bamboo because it suppresses vibration (it is also carbon neutral). Each shelf is machined to cut resonance further, with chamfered edges.
Columns and feet are aluminum, which has much less resonance than steel tube, and the curved shapes avoid the parallel lines that encourage resonance, the way most musical instruments do.
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 of clear space. A power amp or a tube amp goes on one of the two lower shelves, a tall integrated or a small tube amp fits the 8.5 inches above the third, and the open top shelf leaves room for a turntable lid. On its spikes the rack is 35.0 inches tall to the top shelf.
Build Your Own Q4L EVO
This rack is one way to build a Q4L 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.
Add a Matching Q4L EVO Amp Stand
If a power amp or a pair of monoblocks will live on the floor next to the rack, the Quadraspire Q4L EVO Amp Stand is one of these deeper shelves on spikes in the same black. Add one or two with this rack and each stand comes off about 10%.
The Quadraspire Rack Line, Compared
How the Q4L 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 Q4L EVO for the plain, machined shelf with full depth. Drop to the Q4 EVO when 15.6 in deep is enough, step up to the SVT for the slotted performance shelf in the same footprint, 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. Browse every option in Quadraspire HiFi Racks.

Quadraspire Q4L EVO or SVT?
Quadraspire Q4L EVO or SVT?
Both are 590 x 470 mm (23.2 x 18.5 in) and both carry 80 kg (175 lb) per shelf on 32 mm SV columns, so the footprint decides nothing. The shelf does. The Q4L EVO is plain machined bamboo with chamfered edges. The SVT adds machined slots, which Quadraspire says lower mass and improve airflow, and solid brass inserts between columns and shelves.
How deep is a Quadraspire Q4L EVO shelf?
How deep is a Quadraspire Q4L EVO shelf?
470 mm (18.5 in) overall, with 355 mm (14.0 in) between the front and back columns and 477 mm (18.8 in) between the side columns. That is 75 mm (about 3 in) more depth than the standard Q4 EVO shelf.
How tall can I build a Q4L EVO rack?
How tall can I build a Q4L EVO rack?
There is no hard limit, but Quadraspire recommends no more than 8 tiers, or 1500 mm, for the whole frame, for performance and looks. This four-shelf rack is 888 mm (35.0 in) tall, so there is room to add levels later with columns from 100 to 326 mm.
Will a new Q4L EVO shelf match my older Quadraspire shelves?
Will a new Q4L EVO shelf match my older Quadraspire shelves?
Bamboo shelves can be added to an older bamboo rack. The finish is natural, though, and it changes over time, so a new shelf may look slightly different from one that has been in the room for years. For older wood shelves, Quadraspire handles additions through its legacy range.
Does the Q4L EVO come with floor protectors?
Does the Q4L EVO come with floor protectors?
No, it comes on spikes. Floor protectors are an optional upgrade: stainless steel shoes that sit under the spikes to protect your floor. You can add QC or QX7 protectors, or choose flat feet or casters, in our rack builder.
