X Reference
AN EXCEPTIONAL STAGE FOR YOUR HI FI
In the same way as every musical performance needs a stage so a HiFi needs a stage to bring the music to life in your home. Combining the technology of the SVT rack and the bronze upgrade we effectively created a rack within a rack making the entire system more musical and enjoyable.
Our first rack – the Q4 – was launched twenty years ago and is still one of our most popular racks throughout the world. The SVT performance rack was developed for larger HiFi systems and better sound performance. Now we have launched the Bronze upgrade that can be easily retro fitted to any Q4EVO or SVT rack or wall bracket. Bronze has a broader tonal spectrum and greater sustain that opens the soundstage of your system making it more musical and enjoyable without losing detail. To extend the benefits of the Bronze upgrade to all the components in a system we developed the X reference high performance HiFi rack. Square or rectangular shelves encourage standing waves which can distort the sound of your system. By using a curved design we avoid parallel lines thereby reducing standing waves as well as reducing mass. We extended this principal to the X shelf with a more extreme curve and edge chamfer to reduce mass along with a middle aperture that allows the SVT shelf to breathe.


The X reference is a rack within a rack with each X shaped shelf supporting an SVT shelf with solid bronze feet. Finally small Bronze spike locators hold the SVT shelf and Bronze feet in place on the X shelf.
At the heart of the X reference rack are the solid Bronze feet and spike locators. These two components have been specifically tuned to deliver the most natural performance on the X reference. This results in a rack that makes equipment perform to a surprising level, offering a very low noise floor for greater definition of music and opening up the soundstage in all dimensions.
