About the Quadraspire SVT Hi-Fi Rack
SVT is Quadraspire’s mid-tier equipment rack, positioned between the Q4 Evo and the X-Reference flagship. The Quadraspire SVT rack will help reduce resonance, lower the noise floor and open the soundstage to make your system sound even better.
Avoid Parallel Lines
Parallel lines on rectangular shelves encourage resonance which can distort sound. Where possible, Quadraspire avoids parallel lines in the same way as most musical instrument designs.
Intricate Machining
The shelves on Quadraspire SVT racks are machined to reduce any resonance, lowering the noise floor and opening the sound stage whilst also improving sound quality and performance.
The edges on all shelves are chamfered to help dissipate energy and help improve sound. The columns and feet are precisely machined to create a curved profile.
Materials
Steel tube can resonate and distort sound. Instead of steel, Quadraspire uses solid aluminium for all of its columns and feet, which has much less resonance.
Some sheet materials like glass can resonate and distort the sound of your system. After extensively testing a range of different materials, Quadraspire hi-fi racks use solid bamboo ply which suppresses vibrations effectively and is also carbon neutral and sustainable.
How to specify your SVT rack
Follow these steps to specify your Quadraspire SVT equipment rack.
- Choose your base shelf and feet
SVT base shelves are available with floor spikes, flat feet, castors or locking castors. Floor spikes are ideal for carpet, but they can also be used on hard floors with the addition of floor protectors. Flat feet have rubber pads and are ideal for hard floors. Castors make it easy to move the rack when needed. Add your chosen base to your basket.
- Choose your upper shelves and columns
Each SVT upper shelf comes with a set of four SV32 columns in your chosen colour finish and column height. Columns are available in 100 mm, 140 mm, 180 mm, 216 mm, 256 mm and 326 mm sizes. The sizes describe the usable space between the top of the shelf below and the bottom of the shelf above. Remember to leave a little extra space above your equipment to allow air to circulate freely. Add as many upper shelves as needed to accomodate all of your equipment. Quadraspire recommends a maximum of 8 shelves per rack (including the base).
- Choose a bronze top shelf (optional)
Quadraspire offers two bronze upgrade options for the top shelf of your rack, one with columns and one without. Both bronze upgrades provide enhanced isolation and resonance damping for especially-sensitive components like turntables. Alternatively, consider adding a matching SVT wall bracket to your order.
Floor spikes, flat feet or castors
The base shelves of Quadraspire SVT racks are fitted with floor spikes as standard, but are available with a range of alternative feet options. Choose between floor spikes, flat feet and castors to best fit your requirements.
Floor spikes
These adjustable floor spikes provide excellent isolation and easy levelling. Partner with floor protectors for use on hard floors.
Flat feet
These flat feet have a hard rubber sole. They are great alternative to spikes and floor protectors for hard floors.
Castors
These high-quality castors make it easy to move your rack from one place to another.
Locking castors
Just like the regular castors, but with the addition of a locking mechanism to prevent unwanted movement.
Bronze upgrades
It is no coincidence that a lot of musical instruments use brass and bronze. Quadraspire’s research determined that bronze and brass are good materials for reducing resonance, so they developed a bronze upgrade for all of their racks.
Bronze upgrade
The shelf with bronze upgrade is designed to sit directly on top of an existing top shelf, providing improved isolation.
Bronze upgrade with columns
The shelf with bronze upgrade and columns provides a bronze top shelf together with columns to provide extra space below.
Floor protectors
Floor protectors are designed to sit under floor spikes, preventing damage to hard floors and improving acoustic isolation. Quadraspire offers a choice of high-quality stainless steel floor protectors to protect your flooring while enhancing sound performance.
QC Floor Protectors
QC floor protectors provide a simple and cost effective option. They protect hard floors and improve isolation.
QX7 Floor Protectors
The advanced QX7 floor protectors are intricately machined and shaped to provide improved isolation performance and sound quality.
